TV Edwards’ client care is exceptional – they never cut corners and really fight for those they defend. As a barrister, they are my favourite firm to be instructed by because they adopt a collaborative approach with counsel and do everything they can to meticulously prepare the case. I always feel that the case is in very safe hands.

The team has a strong dedication to client service, especially in Crown Court cases. They don’t simply hand the case over to barristers but remain strongly involved, analysing the evidence and providing full proofs and comments on evidence throughout. The client is advised and supported by the solicitor throughout to a high standard.
