Lawtons Criminal Defence Solicitors  Reviews 

Andy provided such reassurance and care in helping with our case. His professionalism is truly remarkable and he gave such superb advice throughout our case. I would highly recommend Andy to anyone, he is superb.

Your colleague Miss/Mrs Gilbert was very professional and kind, she gave me good advise and I was very grateful for it.
The end result was very positive, I didn't get charged, though I have to attend a couple of courses to help with my issues, I am very grateful for this, the consequences could have been more severe, I understand the seriousness of my behaviour and this cannot happen again.
Thank you, I am very sorry for my conduct on this day in question.

I am extremely grateful to Lawton’s for helping me through an exceptionally difficult time, they advised me exceptionally well, I felt comfortable and supported throughout my Journey with them. They handled it with professionalism and compassion. If you are looking for someone who can things done look no further than Lawton’s, simply magnificent.

Lauren, what I can say. She is amazing, had to attend a voluntary interview for something that had occurred in the past. She helped me so much and what to do next and ended up saving me a criminal record,
Can highly recommend Lawton’s solicitors & Lauren herself,

Excellent service from Lawton’s. I instructed Dawn McKnight for my case. She was very thorough, helpful and professional throughout. Highly recommend.

Communication was brilliant and honest advice in the best interest of the client. I changed solicitors to Lawton’s and was blown away by the stark contrast in what they provided and how they delivered in comparison to my previous Solicitors. They were brilliant from start to finish. Would recommend to any needing a Solicitor.

Lawton’s is my go to solicitor thwy always treat the cases with great care and understanding Great team from barristers to custody help

The process was made less stressful by the professionalism of the solicitor- he was knowledgeable, understanding and understood how to handle the situation.

I engaged the services of Lawtons Solicitors after facing charges of a serious nature. They represented me from just after my police interview, right through to sentencing.
Joanne Cestaro took on my case and was incredible from start to finish. She gave me solid advice and legal support throughout. Just as crucially, she was as compassionate as she was professional - I could not have got through this without the support.
She secured me the services of the excellent barrister Janice Brennan for representation in court and I got a highly favourable outcome for which I cannot express my gratitude strongly enough.
If ever you need representation by criminal solicitors, look no further than Lawtons and Joanne Cestaro.

I was accused of a very serious crime which put my life into an absolute spin for three years. Lawtons were incredible! I was first dealing with Stephen Halloran who helped me through the initial period of the charges and Stephen was great. My case was then given to Joanne Cestaro and honestly, I don't have the words to say how amazing Joanne was throughout my case. She was there every step of the way helping my family and I through a very scary and terrifying time. My barrister for the case was Clare Leslie and she was unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable! Between Joanne and Clare I couldn't have asked for a better team, thanks to them and the amazing job they did a jury unanimously found me not guilty. I am so, so grateful for the team at Lawtons and to Clare for everything they did and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Amazing team and amazing people! I am now finally able to start getting my life back on track thanks to them. Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything!

I had an incredibly distressing experience after being falsely accused of a serious offence by a colleague. Dawn McKnight at Lawtons Solicitors was quick to respond and provided calm, clear guidance from the start. Her advice was invaluable - encouraging me to provide a full and honest account, while highlighting key points to raise. Mark, who represented me at the station, was also excellent and supportive throughout. Thanks to their help, the case was resolved with no further action taken. I’m very grateful for their professionalism and support during such a difficult time.

A huge thank you to Stephen Halloran for helping and supporting me through a difficult and stressful time. Stephen made the whole process so much smoother and easier for not just me but, my family too, calming everyones concerns. When it came to the court date I was very nervous but, Stephen was quick to sort everything out and get us in and out as quick as possible with best outcome possible.
Once again, thank you so much to Stephen Halloran.

Big thank you to Andy Hobdell for his support in my recent voluntary interview and achieving the desired outcome. I was extremely nervous given I have anxiety issues, everything was explained and I felt reassured I was in capable hands. I was very impressed (and slightly in awe!) of the way Andy directed the police enquiries in the right direction and even prompted them to apologize for time taken to get the interview sorted, which I wasn't expecting! He is a true pro and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend anyone else requiring their services to seek Lawton's expert advice.

Outstanding Support and Advocacy from Keith Simmonett and Lawtons Solicitors

We were incredibly grateful to have Keith Simmonett representing our child during a very difficult and distressing time involving a false allegation. From the start, Keith was knowledgeable, approachable, and a strong advocate on our behalf. His clear communication and professional approach made all the difference, helping to resolve the matter quickly and effectively.

We also want to acknowledge the wider team at Lawtons Solicitors, who were equally professional and a pleasure to deal with. Their support helped us navigate a stressful situation with confidence and reassurance.

We cannot recommend Keith and the team at Lawtons highly enough. Thank you for everything.

I used dawn mcknight lawtons solicitors for my sentencing hearing and the solicitor was really helpful and polite and they done an amazing job and highly recommend them too people! Had a great outcome!

I want to express my heartfelt thanks to the incredible team at Lawsons for their support during one of the most difficult times in my life. I was facing serious challenges from the local authority, and as a parent of a child with additional needs, I felt overwhelmed and alone.

From the very beginning, Lawson’s truly listened and took the time to understand my situation. They approached everything with professionalism, care, and genuine compassion. They gave me a voice and stood by me when I needed it most.

A special thank you to the amazing barrister, whose wealth of knowledge and calm strength and straight forward talking brought me real reassurance. He was outstanding, as was the rest of the team. I was also supported by a range of professionals, including psychologists organised through Lawson’s, who helped build a clear and honest picture of our circumstances.

I’d especially like to thank Mariam for taking the time to truly listen. Her kindness and understanding meant more than words can say.

Their guidance helped me navigate the process and reach a positive outcome. I will always be grateful for their dedication and support. They made a huge difference for me and my family, and I can’t recommend them highly enough
