Kelly's Solicitors

Big up defending activists.
Sep 2nd, 2022

Simply the best solicitors in the country. Lydia is incredible and nothing short of a hero. Kellys treat you with the utmost care and respect, you are treated like an individual whose case matters deeply and not just an inconvenience. Being able to know that you are being looked after despite being in a difficult situation means so much. They won my case but even if they hadn't, I know they'd have done their best. Ignore the 1* reviews here, clearly the result of a social media pile-on for them having the temerity to defend people arrested for protesting in Bristol... why it's almost as if we are innocent until proven guilty in the UK!

I have used Kellys for the last few years and wouldnt go anywhere else for legal representation. I have many friends who have used Kellys, and all speak very highly of the firm. A truly outstanding lawyer who really seems passionate about her work and about justice, Hollie is incredibly thorough, organised and professional. She takes a compassionate approach, and ensures I understand the legal processes and my options. Hollie goes over each case with a fine tooth comb, provides considered and sound advice, and- as I remember hearing a prosecutor describe her- is very much on the ball. Whilst Ive noticed some other firms can treat these matters as an inconvenience, have poor communication and often issue ill-considered advice that suits them more than the client, Kellys always put the defendants best interests first. Despite cuts to Legal Aid and the untenable state of the justice system making conditions difficult, Kellys has never allowed this to affect the quality of service they provide. Everyone Ive dealt with has been fantastic- Carroll a much appreciated friendly voice when Ive been in a police cell, there to reassure and provide the best advice. I really cant thank or recommend these people enough. Ignore the 1* reviews- they are not from clients, rather those who are salty that Kellys represented the Bristol rioters, clearly not understanding that everyone is rightly entitled to a fair trial.
