I have worked with Gemma on several care cases, including highly complex, sensitive, and demanding ones. I have found Gemma to be a dedicated and hardworking solicitor. Her client care is excellent. She is accessible, efficient, and empathetic. She is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her for public law children cases.

I had the good fortune of receiving a return call from Daveena Seepaul who kindly agreed to take on instruction in the sale of my property. What an amazing professional she is. From beginning to end the transition ran smoothly and trouble free. There was little reason to be in contact apart from the opening conversation, necessary paperwork and later bringing it to completion. Having said that she keeps you informed throughout. 

From the first call I found her to be the ultimate professional with a personal, friendly touch. She is calm, confident and helpful and makes you feel supported throughout the process. A bonus was you are given her direct contact and she responds immediately to your calls. However, she carries out her business so well that there is little cause to be in contact, but it is reassuring to know if you had a problem you could make a direct link and be given answers to your query. She is an asset to Edwards, Duthie and Shamesh. Thank you sincerely Daveena for everything.

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to Ms Natalie Darko for the exceptional work which she displayed on my case.  Natalie’s professionalism, expertise, and her ability to be empathic, and relate to me as a human being, in not treating me as a number, when representing me on two separate occasions at my Plea and Trial Preparation Hearings (PTPH’s), was extremely value adding to me, in a pressurised landscape.

Natalie went above and beyond in providing crisp and concise legal advice before both (PTPH’s) and took the time to break down complex issues in layman’s terms, so I could easily understand these. I would like to thank Natalie Darko for giving me the platform to carve out a conversation with a Senior Manager of Wood Green Crown Court and nine of their security staff, shortly before my hearing, when I raised my dissatisfaction around Mental health awareness.

I would strongly recommend Natalie to anyone seeking legal representation in a criminal matter.

Hi Zhina, The officer handling my case said they have decided to close my case! Thank you so much for your help I really appreciate it!

Thank you for your help. You are doing excellent work.

I had the pleasure of being represented by Natalie at Edward Duthie, and I can’t speak highly enough of her. She was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and always went the extra mile to ensure everything was handled smoothly. Her communication was clear and timely, and she made what could have been a stressful process feel manageable and straightforward. Truly an amazing solicitor – thank you, Natalie.

I feel that Mr Murphy was very supportive, honest and transparent about the dealings between myself and the firm. He listened with empathy when I was in distress while maintaining a professional approach to our meetings. He explained all information clearly, and this enable me to make informed choices for my case.

Thank you, Ms Darko, for all your amazing help. You have been so fantastic in every possible way, our results couldn’t have been possible without your assistance and guidance. You and your team have been efficient, professional every step of the way. I am absolutely confident that you and your company will support and guide the best possible outcome for many who require your support. Whole heartedly thanking you for your service, support and guidance till the end of our 4 year ordeal.

My partners solicitor Natalie was amazing for us. She was friendly, very intelligent and had a great relationship with us all! She helped us from start to end, hopefully we won’t have to use her again in the future but if we did have to I would 100% choose Edwards Duthie and definitely Natalie again!

Natalie was very professional & provided excellent advice & counsel.

I want to thank Alexandra Suskova for her great work and support. I will definitely recommend her to my friends.

I found Ben to be an immense help when resolving my issue. He was very prompt in his responses given the timeframes we had to adhere to and provided useful suggestions as to how to progress. I was greatly appreciative of the outcome he achieved for me and would not hesitate to use him again. Thanks Ben.

Could I also take this opportunity to say that it has been a pleasure dealing with Shanice, who has always been efficient, helpful and courteous in communication and is a credit to your firm.

I just wanted to say thank you so much to Shanice Edwards-Smith for your help in these very difficult times going through family court again. You have been very helpful and supportive and helped guide me through to sort out problems between myself and the father. You were only ever a phone call away and you’d 9/10 always answer and if you couldn’t you’d always ring me back. I’ve always had to remind myself that you aren’t the solicitor for this hearing as you came across like you was the solicitor as you always had the answers to my questions and when you didn’t you’d always find the answers.
I just want to say thank you for your support and I really hope you do well to finish your training off.

I had one of the most challenging family legal cases in 2024 and contacted Edwards Duthie shamash. I was then able to be represented by Shanice Edwards Smith. I honestly don’t know where to begin. Right from the very start Shanice was transparent about my complex situation but also very much reassuring, extremely organized and swift in replying to me with any queries I had.

Through the couple of months she was my solicitor I never once had to chase her down via email or phone as she always updated me. Her professionalism yet empathy for me is something I truly needed and received at the time. She also always made sure to explain legal jargon in the most simplified way for someone who had no idea about legal terms. I had a successful outcome and I am so truly grateful that I chose Edwards Duthie shamash. I would recommend Edwards Duthie shamash to anyone. Top quality solicitors. I cannot thank you enough.
