Testimonials

- ‘Equal level of service to legal aid and private clients. They have a well-rounded team who can take any kind of work and take it to the highest instances.’
- ‘A very strong practice across the spectrum of criminal law. It is a relatively small team made up primarily of very experienced solicitors. As a result, the quality is excellent and very partner led.’
- ‘Madeline Corr is a star. She is approachable, tactical, and absolutely on top of the brief. A real joy to work with and deservedly a recently made partner.’
- ‘An extremely impressive and professional firm offering a bespoke service to all clients. Each case will be prepared in detail, thoroughly and fantastically presented from Magistrates Court to appellate level, if necessary. Partners and paralegals work closely with counsel at all stages, which provides lay clients with a real team effort and sense of security.’
- ‘SGK has always punched above its weight. A boutique firm that has successfully competed with global law firms in private criminal work, that makes no distinction between the lucratively and the publicly funded case: a rarity.’
- ‘They are an extremely well run and committed firm who care passionately about their clients. The office exudes warmth and friendliness. They have maintained a very high-level of service to their clients for many years.’
- ‘I have been very impressed with partner Philip Hill. I have worked with Phil on multiple serious cases over the last ten years. Very recently we worked together on behalf of a barrister accused of forgery, in a complicated case involving a forged document served and relied upon in civil proceedings. Phil's work on the case was highly forensic and meticulous.’
