Definitely, you will never walk alone

Oh what can I say about Mr Stephen McCaffrey and his team at Kings View Chambers. His support, expertise, guidance, confidence-boosting, prep work and overall management of my case were beyond expectations.
I was not optimistic about the case, I felt that it is a lost case that we couldn't do much about and especially just before the start of the trial I lost my confidence and was very nervous. Mr McCaffrey was there to prove me wrong. He turned everything around in a victorious , panegyric manner. I was stunned. My confidence skyrocketed and I think I did my part fairly good which is crucial as well. I am very privileged to have witnessed this man in action.
My issue is resolved, and now my life is changing forever.
You will not do better by looking elsewhere. About Kings View Chambers Barristers, they are a league of their own. About Mr Stephen McCaffrey, he should be our next Prime Minister.

Kings view Chambers Solicitors.

I am writing this review on my personal impression of Kingsview Chambers Solicitors.
It gives me great pleasure and in fact no words to express my gratitude to Catherine Stock and Stephen when I hired them to sort my problem. CS particularly was ruthless and straight forward in telling me that I should expect the worst case scenario from GMC. She never gave me any hope. That is when I knew I was in good hands. She was blunt in everything, cost, outcome what I should expect etc. Then when I prepared my response, she kept returning it back asking me to better my response. After few attempts, she prepared the best response and submitted it to GMC. I was in a state of shock when GMC closed my case with advice only. The whole workplace was wondering whats happened to me as I was jumping around in Joy and Relief.
Look no further, trust me.
If anyone is in trouble with regulatory law, contact KVC immediately. They are expensive, but will let you know in advance.
I know we are human and do make mistakes. But that one mistake can ruin your entire life. Hence, hire best in the business to represent yourself in any regulatory board.
Immensely grateful to KVC.
I can not thank them enough.

The go-to Barristers for UK healthcare professionals facing a disciplinary or regulatory hearing

Faced with a difficult disciplinary hearing with my NHS Trust, I instructed Ms Catherine Stock (CS) and Mr Stephen McCaffrey (SM) of Kings View Chambers to help me with my case. From the very outset, they were attentive, helpful and reassuring. CS and SM have razor-sharp legal brains, worked as a team, and provided me with a clear and concise strategy to approach the hearing. They helped me to construct a robust defence of my position. In the end, the outcome was much better than expected. Receiving a warning was in some ways a relief, considering that worse outcomes (suspension, dismissal, referral to GMC) were also possible. I am eternally grateful to CS and SM for the services provided. I have no hesitation in recommending CS and SM of King's View Chambers to any healthcare professional facing disciplinary action or a hearing with their regulator.

Excellent service

There are no words to describe how grateful I am to Catherine and Stephen for helping me with my case. I had over 20 lawyers in the past and Catherine and Stephen are the best of all without question.
I had extremely complex case that included multiple allegations. At the start it almost felt like there was no way to fix this. I contacted various companies to get legal help. However in every law firm that I contacted I was informed that the case was complex and the way out nearly impossible. I was also invoiced large amount of money for legal services by each firm.
I am glad I never stopped looking and I came across these most intelligent, professional, clever people who were also supportive in every possible way.
They took structured approach to my case and they offered a few consultation sessions after which they built my witness statement step by step, in a very clear and structured way.
The hearing was very stressful and lasted longer than 20 days. Not only I was well represented by Stephen and Catherine, they also emotionally supported me, they prepared me and my witness for cross-examination well, they kept me informed of the case at every step of the hearing. They also raised concerns about the way the GMC handled my case, to which the GMC had nothing to respond to.
In addition, they were very generous with their services and they charged me at lower rate compared to every other law firm I contacted before approaching them. They are the best lawyers who work hard and know the legal system inside out.
I cannot imagine how I could clear my name without Catherine and Stephen. I am forever grateful to them for their help and I would certainly contact them if I need any more help in the future. I would strongly recommend them to my friends and colleagues.

Stop and look no further than here

You may be currently trawling sites for professional regulatory Barristers. I encourage you all to look no further. Barristers Ms Catherine Stock and Mr Stephen McCaffrey are no less than excellent. My interim conditions of practice were revoked with immediate effect at Case Examiner stage. I fully empathise with your journey and recognise how distressing long and lonely it can be. Both Catherine and Stephen are honest open and transparent from the initial telephone contact. Even to contact a Barrister was alien and somewhat frightening. You will receive total professionalism, concern for you as a person, combined with meticulous presentation of your case at each stage. I wish again to thank you both Catherine Stephen and Sarah also for assistance. Please contact this Chambers now and you will receive a call to discuss within a short turnaround. Any recommendation and advice I can provide to any professional Health or Social Care colleague would be to immediately remove your Trade Union contributions you may already have learned this the hard way. Exceptional thanks once again.

Success in HCPC Fitness to Practice Case.

I am immensely grateful to Catherine for her professional services in guiding and supporting my case, having secured the best possible outcome for me, with ‘no case to answer’ at the Investigating Committee Panel of the HCPC Fitness to Practice process. Catherine was efficient and clear from the outset, transparently explaining everything. At a time when I was very stressed and somewhat overwhelmed by the whole process, she was kind and compassionate in her approach and sensitive to my situation. Catherine delivered an honest and realistic appraisal of my case. She provided a reassuring ability to assimilate the facts of a complex situation and to incisively pinpoint the key issues that I needed to address. When I was lost in the details, her ability to patiently guide me enabled me to find focus and to hone my arguments: She helped me to find structure when I was overwhelmed and to ultimately produce a clear and compelling written submission for the panel. Catherine was robust and professional in communicating with my regulator on my behalf. She was prompt and efficient in answering my questions. She was clear and upfront with her fees and generous in her provision of services, even when my submission process was extended. I have no hesitation in highly recommending her services and professionalism. Thank you so much Catherine and all at Kings View!

In honour of Ms Catherine Stock - Some words of appreciation is not enough to say thanks

Its my honour and it gives me tremendous pleasure to say a few words about Ms Catherine Stock - The joint head of Chambers @ Kings view Chamnbers. I was first introduced to Mr Stephen and Ms Catherine Stock (CS) by one of my colleague in relation to my GMC fitness to practice investigation that lead me to have a Medical Practitioners Tribunal Hearing. My case was then being lead on by Ms CS.

During preparation of my case, CS from the very beginning challenged me and guided me to the perfection during each and every step. She had excellent critical thinking skills and she dedicated herself with serious thoughts and considerations in relation to my case preparation. It was emotionally a very difficult time for me to go through with the MPTS hearing and getting prepared for my case hearing but she was always there with me at every step both as a friend, as a colleague and as a very professional person in her field. She used to guide me and correct my statements multiple times without getting cross about it.

Prior to the hearing itself, Ms CS was always honest with me about the expectations and the most likely possible outcomes of the hearing. I was initially really very nervous to face the members of the Panel but she prepared me so well in the 2 pre-hearing conferences that I felt very comfortable facing the panel members and the GMC barrister who really tried to give me a tough time. If it was not for Ms CS, I would have never been able to present my case so well.

During the 4 days hearing in itself, the way Ms CS presented my case and the legal and ethical arguments she raised was beyond any doubt very professional and showed her outstanding communication skills. During the hearing CS was always available for my help and support and before and after the end of every session she used to support me and help me to with any of my queries or questions. It was indeed based on her excellent presentation of my case that I got the best possible outcome of my case

These words of appreciation is indeed a very small way of saying thanks as a token of her efforts and dedication towards my case in general and supporting me both emotionally and professionally before, dusring and after the case hearing.

A VERY BIG THANKS TO MS CATHERINE STOCK (and indeed Mr Stephen McCaffery and Ms Sarah Rayner). Wish you all the best and very many thanks again.

Cannot recommend enough

Mr McCaffrey and his team are excellent in all that they do, from determining your chances of success to staying in communication with you. Throughout the legal process, the team have advised me on my legal proceedings, communicated information well in advance and have overall been extremely effective in helping to resolve my case.

I would not hesitate in the slightest to recommend Mr McCaffrey and his team, they are truly excellent at what they do!

Excellent, frank & fair lawyers.

Mr McCaffrey gave me the soundest and most forthright advice that I could have asked for.
He is a man of sharp wits who knows both his law and the legal system in and out.
As a testament to his decent and fair character, he offered to (and did) refund me a large portion of fees paid in advance, prior to my appeal, when it became obvious that the appeal was not worth pursuing.
Can highly recommend both Mr McCaffrey and Kings View Chambers, and I shall definitely be instructing them in the future, should the occasion arise.

Outstanding Service

I worked with Catherine throughout my investigation and she was very supportive. She was always available for questions and she helped me to compile a robust defence. She had a wealth of knowledge on the matter and she understood the complexity of my situation. She was kind and supportive and I am so grateful for her assistance. I would recommend her to anyone who is undergoing a professional investigation.
Thank you Catherine.

It was an excellent choice to work with…

It was an excellent choice to work with both of them(Stephen and Catherine) . They accepted my case in a difficult situation with a time pressure limit. They reassured me from the first session that they were confident to win it. I was under the impression from the previous barrister that my case will be lost. I would most likely end being suspended for at least a year. They managed to study it in a short period of time. They were able to change the outcome and won the case for me. They proved to me beyond any doubt that they were very professional with long years of experience.

To make everyone aware

To make everyone aware, do not pay any fees to this firm because they will let you down and will not meet the promises they made before they received your money. I am reporting them for deceived and misconduct since this is not acceptable and is fraud. Terrible service , lost thousands of pounds thanks to Mr Stephen mcaffery , would 100% not recommend and they just interest’s Monday specifically Stephen Mcaffery.
Please do you not westing your time and your money with them.

NMC defence - Fitness to Practice

I cannot thank Catherine enough for her support with my NMC case - Fitness to practice Panel hearing.

At the panel hearing Catherine exonerated the charges against me and cleared my name, resulting in being able to move forward and continue my career untarnished.

When your read the NMC annual report fitness to practice 2020/2021, only 3% of cases are facts not proved and 8% FtP found not impaired!

When the odds were stacked against me, Catherine allowed me still have hope and to remain positive. Catherine demonstrated this when the panel found no misconduct and no impairment in my practice as a nurse.

Catherine - Kings View Chambers is a fantastic, honest and realist barrister. Catherine has been open, honest and transparent with me from the offset with my case and also the fees should I wish to be presented by her. I truly wish I had found King’s View Chambers right from the beginning of my referral, as I wouldn’t have ended up at a panel hearing if I had Catherine as my legal representative.

If I could could give any nurse or professional a piece of advise when you read this review. Yes the fees may seem a lot and it may make you think, that’s a lot of money to spend. However, I would remind you, how work you have worked to get your professional qualification. Therefore invest in yourself now in a time of need, it really is worth the investment. REMEMBER this is your professional career at stake!

When I received my referral from the NMC. I did what most nurse would do, which was to go to the RCN for support and guidance.

Unfortunately the RCN let me down as a RCN member in a time of need. When I went to them for help at the beginning of my NMC case, I was mislead and misrepresented by non legal RCN employers, resulting in my case going through to the highest process of fitness to practice panel hearing.

Save your RCN membership money and go to King’s View Chamber! It will be the best money you will ever spend in defending yourself, they are the best barristers in the business for healthcare professionals.

Awsome work by Catherine Stock and her team

Catherine stock
Barrister, Joint Head of Chambers
I am writing overwhelmed with gratitude. Catherine and her team were absolutely amazing, very professional and sensitive to my needs. They helped to deal with the immense pressure. I am not familiar with certain aspects of the law let alone some legal terms. Catherine was always communicating on every aspect of the case and giving clear explanation where there was need for clarity. Her standards are very high and she treated my case with great consideration and due diligence. From the beginning she kept re-assuring me because I was so nervous and anxious about the case. The whole legal process is something that’s out of my depth. I really needed someone to rely on. Catherine and her team went above and beyond getting me to be able to practice. They did put 100% and would recommend them to any healthcare professional who would find themselves in a difficult situation. Catherine and her team are true to their word and I am so glad that they go achieved a better result than I expected.

Best law firm for Taxi Licensing

I found King's View Chambers on Google. From start to finish Stephen McCaffrey and his team have gone above and beyond on fighting to get my Private Hire Licence back. I'm happy to say I have got my licence back and i didn't even need to go court. The fees and everything else was explained to me and I must say the price I paid was well worth it. Thank you again and I would highly recommend them.

My sincere thanks to Stephen McCaffrey…

My sincere thanks to Stephen McCaffrey and Catherine Stock of Kings View Chambers who acted on my behalf in relation to a vexatious complaint made to the GMC.

The matter had already been ongoing for a year and I was stressed and worried , but from the day I instructed Stephen and Catherine I felt reassured by their professional and knowledgeable approach. They very quickly grasped the details of the case, of which there were many, and confidently explained the approach we would take . My questions were always answered simply and honestly and I was kept abreast of all developments.

As a result of their experience Stephen and Catherine were able to bring the matter to a close without it going to a hearing . I cannot thank them enough and would not hesitate to recommend them to others who might be unfortunate enough to find themselves in a similar situation.
