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

I worked with Galbraith branley solicitors for a year and 3 months, as I was going through court proceedings with my son, and I honestly couldn't have got through it without this company. I was assigned a solicitor called siliva Evans who became a big part of mine and my son's life, she was amazing throughout and went beyond her job description. As many people know court proceedings are hard and a very emotional process to go through, but siliva listen every step of the way and become someone I could really rely on.

My case had many up and downs, but they never gave up hope that I would get the outcome I wanted I feel that the company really take your case on not only professional but emotional, and work really hard to build a relationship with you and your family. I could write all day about how brilliant this company was to me. And honestly I wouldn't be where I am today if I didn't use Galbraith branley solicitors, I highly highly recommend Galbraith branley.

I was very frightened at the thought of my son's godfather and close family friend going to prison and was unfamiliar with the intricacies of the law on the matter for which he was arrested for and charged with. On authority from the client, Humzah took the time to advise me of the situation and talked with me at length. He was really patient and answered all my questions and explained everything to me clearly.

He was always on hand and kept us informed of court times and changes. The barrister James Wing was excellent and again took time to really hear us and the issues that led to the offence then explained these to the judge thoroughly proposing alternatives to a custodial sentence. He put forward the case for this so well that he was given a suspended sentence and the chance to turn his life around. We are so grateful for their experience professionalism and courtesy and couldn't' task for better service. The aftercare has also been great thank you

I would like to convey my deepest gratitude for the hard-work and dedication given to achieve the success I got from my court case. I am truly lucky to have been given Callum Bryce as my solicitor because from day one his excellent soliciting skills helped me get to my goal. Thank you to the company for allowing me to be successful. I am extremely content with them and will definitely recommend to others.

They are understanding, kind and at the same time professional and know the law. Many years ago I asked a CPS lawyer who he thought was the best company to deal with a criminal matter and he said one of the best he had come across was Galbraith & Branley. 10 years later having to call on their help again I can honestly say in my eyes they are still the best! Big thanks to Lauren once again.
