I would like to say a big thank you to Royce Menase. She was very helpful since the beginning of my brothers case all the way to the end. She was incredibly kind and followed through everything and really handled the case with great care. I would definitely recommend their help. Thanks a lot for everything.

Couldn't be more thankful for the help that Louis Keyworth has given me through an extremely tough time. He's been absolutely amazing always kept me up to date on things that were happening and was always on the other end of the phone when I needed any advice. Would highly recommend this solicitors no faults at all.

I used their service in 2015, because they were the duty solicitors at Edmonton police station and I had no other lawyers. The barrister they provided me with wasn't that good and I think I could have done a better job representing myself - like Ted Bundy did - even though I have no legal training. But the case against me was solid, and so even if the barrister was good, it likely wouldn't have made much difference anyway. Ghislaine Maxwell for example has the best lawyers, but this hasn't done her much good. Galbraith Branley made a fat legal aid profit out of my case and in the end I got a sentence of 4 years and 10 months on my birthday. I personally would not recommend them.

Thank you very much to Humzah, Anthony and the rest of their team including Mr Greenan my barrister. I received 3 consecutive "not guiltys" I would recommend to anyone who is innocent and looking for help within the criminal justice system to contact Galbraith Brantley and the outcome can only be the best possible
