“After a malicious accusation against my Son, who suffers from anxiety, Rojin represented him at his interview with the police station where she very quickly and skilfully extracted the bare facts of the matter and presented them in a statement, such that there could be no doubt of his innocence. The notice of “no further action” was promptly received within hours. She was able to perceive was Son’s learning difficulties and constructed the interview in a manner which placed him at ease and protected his vulnerable nature from being exploited with difficult and provocative questioning, which undoubtably could have led to self incrimination due to his difficulty with language. This level of skill, understanding and professional care is rare indeed. She is an asset to this firm and she will, without doubt, excel in her profession. I have no hesitation in recommending Rojin for similar cases.”

“Shaun Murphy was exceptionally great. Initially I had no confidence at all due to my experience with my previous solicitor. However, Shaun gave me the much needed confidence to speak the facts so he can represent me appropriately. With Shaun’s guidance, I was able to recollect events factually and in detail, Shaun did not leave me in a limbo and although I was extremely distressed at the ongoing prosecution, he kept me up to date with the progress of the case; even when I did not respond to him. Izel was also fabulous in supporting with my application for Legal Aid. ”
— Ms Kotei
“At all times, I felt well looked after and confident that I was in good hands. My case was eventually dropped by the police but in the first few weeks after news of the allegation reached me, Shaun was incredibly patient. I was in shock initially and can’t have made much sense - but Shaun kept me focused on what I needed to do and when.”
