Avoid if you can. Our experience was a complete headache and a mess. The office could provide virtually no information, calls and emails went unanswered, and promises to call back were repeatedly not kept. Our hearing was at 10:45am, yet we only managed to establish contact with the solicitor around 4pm after spending hours trying to find out what was happening. Ernest Aduwa was extremely aggressive over the phone, raising his voice and shouting when I asked for an explanation. Nobody should be treated this way when simply trying to get information about their legal representation. Completely unacceptable and unprofessional experience.

had a very disappointing experience with Stoko’s customer service. I contacted them multiple times regarding my order, and they repeatedly stated that they could not locate it, despite having already discussed an exchange and return with me.

The product I received was too small. When I asked to exchange it, I was told the correct size was out of stock, so I requested a return instead. I was promised several times that a return label would be sent within 24 hours, but I never received one. I followed up multiple times and eventually stopped receiving responses altogether.

At this point, I have been unable to return the product or receive proper assistance. The lack of follow-through and communication has been extremely frustrating. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend this company.

Helen While of Stokoe Solicitors (Manchester Offices) acted against me in the Court room 25 March 2022 at Manchester Magistrates Court.

She was witnessed in the Courtroom deliberating on my behalf, giving a speech that outright attacked my character. Not a single word that could be considered beneficial to my defence was seen to be uttered by the Stokoe Solicitor representative at the March 2022 hearing.

Miss White is understood to have colluded with a Probation Officer based at the the Manchester Magistrates' Probation Office known as Miss A Dean, who is believed to be connected to a number of GMP Officers that have driven a personal vendetta against me after i was accused of Stalking one of the Officers daughters, this accusation was hidden from and i was made a target.

I received my first and only ever custodial sentence through Miss Whites treacherous acting at the hearing that took place at Manchester and Salford Magistrates Court 25th March 2022.

I was later targetted in the Jail and attempted to be labelled a 'stalker' when an inmate connected to one of the Officers' Daughter's began peddling false accusations about me on the jail wing and again failed to disclose these accusations, preventing me from Defending myself.

Whilst serving the immediate custodial sentence, i received documents from Stokoe Solicitors regarding the 25 March 2022 hearing. These documents included a Post Sentence Report that itemised each of the convictions I had been found guilty of.

It was immediately recognised that a number of convictions were on the list that should not have been there amongst which were charges of Dangerous Driving, which i had not committed, been charged with nor entered any plea to.

I had the original printed copy of Miss White's Post Sentence Report. I knew it contained false information. This on top of the disservice id witnessed, left me with absolutely no doubt whatsoever that i had been betrayed by Miss White.

In July 2022 I contacted Miss White requesting all the Documents relating to my case, specifically the Post Sentence Report.

Miss White was extremely evasive in her responses. A request for the Post Sentence Report was repeatedly made. Whilst badgering Miss White for a copy of the Post Sentence Report, she was good enough to send me Miss A Deans Pre Sentence Report (Probation), which was revealing.

Her unwillingness to send this particular document was a strong indicator that Miss White had something to hide.

After my final demand "are you or are you not going to send me this particular document issued on this particular day authored by you Miss White... ?"

There was a 15 minute gap between the next response. In that moment, Miss White had a decision to make;

"Did i or did i not have the original copy of the Post Sentence Report printed and sent to me whilst incarcerated at Forest Bank Jail 6 months earlier?"

Miss White had 2 options;

1. send me the original document that contains false charges and another record of her error ontop of that witnessed in the court room 25 March 2022.
2. gamble that i did not have the original copy of the Post Sentence Report - and send me a doctored copy that hides a hard record of her error.

I eventually receive a copy of the Post Sentence Report from Miss White.

Miss White took the second option.

It was later recognised through cross-referencing of the two sets of documents supplied by Miss White, the first received whilst serving my first custodial sentence following her disservice and the copy sent after badgering her her for a copy - these WERE NOT the same documents.

Miss White had tampered with the second copy of the Post Sentence Report she sent to me.

I immediately raised this with Mike Sophocleous at Stokoe Solicitors around April 2023. My complaint was again, dismissed.

I raised the whole matter concerning Stokoe Solicitors with the Legal Ombudsman, my complaint was dismissed. Two days after receiving a letter from the Legal Ombudsman that i found near impossible to draw a conclusion from, i was then targetted by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Greater Manchester Police - Kate Green who attempted to set me up a t a Self Employment session arranged through the Jobcenter. A week later my Mother was visited by 4 Officers from the Town Hall Extension, a few days later my Home address was unlawfully forced by Officers from the Town Half Extension who came without a Warrant of Entry and broke my door down to arrest me for Harassment after i posted a sticker in Manchester City Center that said "Police Corruption - Help", which i did not receive a response to but DID receive a charge of 'Criminal Damage' for.

I am witness and victim to this companies failures.
I live in the legacy of their mistakes.

Do not trust this company.
Do not trust Helen White.
Do not trust Mike Sophocleous.

Rubin is incredibly familiar with the intricacies of criminal law. I felt my case was very complex in terms of the amount of evidence he needed to review and navigate, but he reassured me to keep providing as much as I could and it was his job to pick out what was required. He did this with finesse that I can’t contemplate but came out clearly in every hearing. The hearings were a masterclass in legal jostling, with every single intricate part of my case handled and argued with passion and clear legal prowess.



Ruben was committed to my case from the start and supported me in every way with clear lay person explanations when I was concerned about detail and general emotional support when I was struggling with the issues in front of me. He prepared for the trial with my Barrister with a commitment that made it clear that he is a true advocate for justice and a great communicator. The acquittal Rubin achieved for me was life changing for me and my family and I thank you and your team for your support.
Forever grateful

Rubin was recommended to us by our friends. Our family never had any dealings with solicitors before. So really we didn't know what to expect. Before speaking to Rubin, I have been in contact with other solicitors, and wasn't sure about any of them. Soon I spoken to Rubin I knew that I can trust him 100%. Highly recommend Rubin to any who needs help!!

Through experience, I would sincerely and highly recommend Rubin Italia. His communication is first class, he manages to communicate in a timely and effective manner. His thought process, speech and expertise are superior, witnessing his skills in court or other places as a client is reassuring to see. He knows the right thing to say, in the right way and at the right time.
If one is fortunate enough to have Rubin on your side, you can sleep well knowing you are in hands of someone who will achieve the best outcome possible, goes the extra mile and is a professional at the top of his field with years of valuable experience. The combination of all the above makes him a real force to be reckoned with and one could not hope for a better solicitor.
