Calm and Professional Approach

Rachel's advice was professional and clear, she worked hard to secure me a favourable outcome and my experience in court was all the better for a calming approach. I have never been in trouble with the courts before (and do not intend to be again!), everybody at Johnson Astills treated me with dignity and respect despite my situation.

Excellence in representation

As someone who had never been involved in the legal system before, facing a Crown Court case was one of the most daunting experiences of my life. I didn’t know what to expect or how to navigate the process—but from the very beginning, Johnson Astills, and in particular my solicitor Helen, provided exactly the support I needed.

Over the course of more than three years, Helen remained consistently professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. She took the time to explain each step clearly and honestly, and never once made me feel like I was facing this challenge alone. Her attention to detail, calm approach, and genuine care made all the difference.

What stood out most was how responsive and reassuring she was throughout—always available to answer questions, listen to concerns, and offer sound advice. That kind of support is invaluable in a case like this, especially for someone who’s never been through it before.

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of Helen and the wider Johnson Astills team, we achieved the best possible outcome: a full acquittal. I will always be grateful for their expertise and guidance.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Johnson Astills to anyone who needs legal representation—especially if, like me, you’re entering unfamiliar territory and need a team you can truly trust.

Child Protection Conference

I contacted the firm to seek advice, to which Jenny quickly and efficiently took on my case and from the start was very swift and clear with communication. I was left with zero doubt after Jenny explaining my case to me thoroughly. She also attended a conference meeting with me on short notice which strongly relieved my worries! Would recommend Jenny independently also the firm as a whole. Thankyou for your help it is much appreciated!

Would never go anywhere else.

Emma is one of the most calming knowledgable people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She explains every step so clearly in a way that is completely understandable with all the options and steps explained thoroughly that felt like I had a choice deciding what the right path was along with her advice. I would never go anywhere else. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Very professional and smoothest transaction

Our experience with Anjali dealing with the sale of our property has been amazing. She has been very professional, given clear and concise advice, and completed the sale very smoothly without any stress.

I would 100% recommend using Anjali for your conveyancing matters.

Worked with Emma on and off for the past few years. Emma has really helped me so much and I cannot thank her enough for her time and effort. She always makes sure that I am okay and always a chat if I ever need or worry about anything. Would always come back to Emma.

I would highly recommend Johnson Astills. The team are extremely supportive throughout the process keeping you calm & reassured. Futhermore, I was prepared really well and was also stood up for when questioning nearly went off what the incident was related to. A++++ service.

I would highly recommend Johnson Astills Solicitors, particularly Ms Sharon Percival.
Sharon provided legal advice and representation, which was invaluable. She was very approachable and professional at all times and provided an excellent service. Her paralegal Rhian was also excellent.
I would like to thank them both.

I cannot speak highly enough of the service provided. Michelle Harding was extremely supportive, very knowledgeable and highly professional throughout. From the moment I met with her I found her to be personable, perceptive, fastidious in following up all my concerns and questions, and totally committed to gaining the best and fairest outcome for me as her client. I am so glad that I made that initial exploratory phone call to her office which put me in touch with her. I highly recommend her and her team.
