Richard Cooper the assigned solicitor for my partner's case, got us a better outcome than we'd endeavoured. Although the case was finalised, I had a lot of questions following this, which Mr Cooper was always at hand to answer He's been immensely supportive and professional, he never once made me feel that I'm bothering him. He works transparently with no sugar on top

Report
I was recently represented by Richard cooper for a lengthly two and a half years in what seemed like a never ending court case, during this time Richard made me feel comfortable showing compassion and understanding. He is very polite, professional and hard working, his team and choice of barrister was just as amazing, to which they all worked hard in getting me the justice I deserved, should I ever need help again I would without question use Sternberg Reed again. Thank you Regards Neil

Report
I received excellent service from Steinburg and Reed. Richard Cooper was very knowledgeable and professional throughout, he would always make sure I understood the situation I found myself in. Richard was always available when needed, he went above and beyond to get the most successful outcome for my family and I. I felt I could trust Richard completely in a situation where I felt completely out of my depth and my family and i will always be grateful.
