Experienced, Understanding & Compassionate
I felt very comfortable with Reeds from the very first phone call. They were efficient, understanding & compassionate. I felt very confident in their hands - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them as a firm and both Mohammad Hussain and Clare Gallo who were excellent! Everything was explained very clearly, helping me to feel more at ease having found myself in a situation I never expected to be in and which I found very upsetting.
Defence
I needed a solicitor to build a case for me quickly then deliver it in court on my behalf. I was taken aback at how fast Clare Galo did this for me and how professionally she delivered my defence in court. Clare Galo was clear, precise and thorough to get everything across to the Judge which resulted in an outcome I could only have hoped for in the movies. My briefing beforehand was not rushed and every detail was not left out as well as a very understanding approach to my explanation and requests of what I was hoping and instructing this solicitor to try and do for me. I could not recommend enough this Professional to represent anyone in court, I'm very grateful this firm had this solicitor working for them and Clare Galo even checked back with me to go over details as she built a case in record time.
I had an excellent experience with Reeds Solicitors
I had an excellent experience with Reeds Solicitors, especially thanks to Nathan Seymour-Hyde and Brianna Parsons. Nathan was professional, clear, and supportive throughout, while Brianna ensured everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. Together, they made a difficult process far more manageable. Highly recommended
For a number of years Tom Brymer…
For a number of years Tom Brymer (Partner), assisted by Annie Sinclair of Reeds Solicitors LLP, have acted for our family. Their professionalism and sincerity are commendable, and we are thankful for the exceptional legal service and a staunch advocacy for and on behalf of our family.
The outcome has given member of our family the opportunity to move on with his life from such a difficult period – without your help this would have been impossible. On behalf of us all, we cannot thank you enough for your support and guidance; so grateful where thank you seems so inadequate, our thanks is heartfelt.
If you need a compassionate, professional, and thorough team of attorneys by your side, do not hesitate to contact Reed Solicitors.
I cannot recommend Reeds enough.
I cannot recommend Reeds enough.
Initially Scott handled my case and at a later stage Zoe took over handling it, and both of them were always approachable and professional helping me through such a stressful time in my life.
We got the outcome we were after and I'd never of been able to go through this without their aid.
Excellent service - Highly recommended
Swift, professional, efficient service provided in difficult and stressful circumstances. Zoe went the extra mile for us and took the time to explain everything clearly and in a caring way.
The process was smooth from beginning to end.
I would not hesitate to recommend Reeds.
Exemplary, Outstanding Work Throughout
Stuart was exemplary - everything you could hope for in a solicitor. He was forensic, cutting through the noise and seeing clearly exactly what mattered. And of course, he was excellent at what you would expect - preparing briefs, weighing arguments, drafting correspondence. But what sets him apart is his genuine compassion. Going through such a confusing and difficult process, Stuart is the steady and empathetic hand that guided me through. He could instantly put my restless, overanxious mind at ease, going above and beyond in being there personally - after hours, on phone calls - providing my family and I reassurance while never compromising on honesty or clarity. He took my opinions seriously, and we felt like a team. He saw my case through to a very favourable conclusion, kept me grounded when I myself was full of doubt, and enabled me to move on with, and thrive in, my life - with my case firmly in the past. I could not recommend him strongly enough, nor be more grateful.
Truly Exceptional Throughout
I was wrongfully accused of multiple serious crimes in 2023. After extensive research, my family and I chose Reeds Oxford for legal assistance. From my initial bail period through subsequent arrests, the charging process, and my eventual trial, I was represented by their dedicated team. I am now fully acquitted of all charges and living my life as a free person—something that would not have been
possible without Reeds' unwavering support.
My case was large and had a tight deadline, so I worked with many different members of their team. Every single one of them was impressive, consistently demonstrating incredible attention to detail, a relentless work ethic, and a determined focus. They were professional yet compassionate, non-judgmental, and excellent listeners. Most importantly, they gave me hope without ever giving me false expectations. Throughout the entire process, I felt I had the best possible legal defense team imaginable. I always felt like a priority, continually supported, believed, and protected.
Reeds also organized an absolutely brilliant counsel team—a barrister and junior barrister—who were just as dedicated, detail-oriented, and understanding. Reeds openly communicated with my family and me, presenting multiple options. We ultimately trusted their recommendation, which was a wise decision. I truly do not believe a better counsel existed for my case.
As the trial approached, the Reeds team meticulously prepared my case. They clearly explained every detail of the process and answered all my questions. Every piece of potential evidence I submitted was reviewed, and its usefulness was explained. Reeds also organized meetings with
the barrister duo to ensure I was always fully informed about the proceedings and behind-the-scenes decisions.
The nature of the charges required me to discuss difficult and often embarrassing truths from my past. The Reeds team and the counsel they found were always compassionate, understanding, and non-judgmental, offering a human approach alongside solid professional advice. This was invaluable. Accusations like these can carry a heavy weight of undeserved shame and a fear of not being believed. At times, Reeds was the only group outside my family and close friends truly on my side. Their vast knowledge and experience helped me understand how the justice system works and how to cope with the immense pressure.
One specific experience stands out. While I was on bail, the police provided us with new disclosure that, from my perspective, seemed
powerful and left me feeling without hope. I was dejected and sitting in despair after a long day at work when my phone rang. It was my
solicitor, Stuart Mathews. He knew I would have seen the new evidence and simply called to see how I was doing. I hadn't requested the call,
and there were no legal matters to deal with at the time; he simply wanted to check on me and give me an opportunity to express any concerns. After our conversation, my mind was at ease, and my hope was restored. Nothing about the evidence had fundamentally changed, but his call demonstrated that I was believed, I was supported, and that I
had experts working tirelessly to ensure the truth prevailed. This wasn’t the only time this happened, but it highlights how crucial their support was. Without it, I’m not sure I would have been able to
cope with the brutal process of the justice system.
For me, what was most impressive was not their professionalism, attention to detail, round-the-clock fast communication, exceptional experience, or relentless work ethic. It was how they managed all of that while remaining entirely human, caring, and empathetic to the terrifying and overwhelming situation my family and I faced.
If you are in what seems like an impossible legal situation, I assure you it is not impossible and it is not without hope. If you have Reeds Oxford fighting your corner, you will have the best possible legal
support throughout the entire process.
Excellent Legal team
I was at a massive low before making contact with Reeds due to poor advice elsewhere. From the moment I contacted Reeds I felt I was heard and the team were going to fight their hardest for the best possible outcome for me. The barristers and solicitors were plain speaking and worked diligently on my instructions.
Number 1 solicitor (Zoe heron)
Well what can i say, reeds are amazing, I highly recommended them. I had Zoe heron represented me and wow she did amazing work for me. Going private was the best option for me and the outcome was amazing was found not guilty of the offence, if you can afford to do so I would say it’s the best option, you get there full expertise. From day one Zoe supported me and helped me get thru some very dark days and she never judged me once. She took my case on and from the first day I was totally honest with her and truthful in everything she asked of me and she was honest with me and told me what the outcomes may be, and also outlined what each cost was before anything was done. There prices were very affordable and I was on a monthly plan as court can be very expensive but please ask what they can do for you if you decide to go private. Thankyou again to reeds and a very big Thankyou to Zoe for what she has done for me.
Really great Service
Really great Service. Very professional and made all the steps very clear.
Professional
Zoe was calm, professional and understanding. She dealt with our matter quickly and efficiently. I would recommend her services to anyone
Clare Gallo of Reeds LLP
Clare Galo was prompt in reaching out to contact us, already had in depth knowledge and was candid about the approach and potential outcomes. As clients we felt prepared and safe when Clare and Reeds overall were involved. Thank you Clare for your professionalism, empathy and clear attention to detail

I recently had a stressful issue with a train company regarding my valid ticket, and I was very fortunate to have Jenny Kabala at Reeds handle my case. From the beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely reassuring. She carefully reviewed all the details, communicated with the train company on my behalf, and successfully resolved the matter.
Jenny’s expertise made a difficult situation much easier to handle. I truly appreciated her dedication, clear communication, and strong advocacy throughout the process. I highly recommend Jenny to anyone in need of legal assistance — she is an outstanding lawyer who truly cares about her clients!

An Exceptional Lawyer – Truly One of a Kind
I’ve had the privilege of being represented by Harvey Fox for the past 3.5 years, and I can say without hesitation that he is, without a doubt, the best in the business. His legal expertise is second to none – razor-sharp, deeply knowledgeable, and always one step ahead. He has navigated every complex turn in my case with total command and confidence. He never offers false promises or tells you what you want to hear, he simply works through your case methodically and lays everything out for you exactly as it is.
What truly sets Harvey apart however is not just the precision of his legal advice – it’s his extraordinary care for his clients. He doesn’t just act for you; he stands with you. He invests time, energy, and heart into every detail, making sure you feel supported, informed, and genuinely cared for every step of the way. The lengths he goes to on behalf of his clients are simply beyond what I ever expected. Facing criminal accusations is one of the loneliest places to be but not once In the process did I ever feel alone with Harvey by my side.
Harvey combines professionalism with empathy in a way that is incredibly rare in this field. You don’t just get a lawyer – you get a true advocate who treats your case as if it were his own. For anyone seeking not just legal excellence but also unmatched client care, I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are entering in to a criminal investigation then there is absolutely no one better than Harvey Fox that you could put your faith in.
Great
Nathan and Brianna were a fab team. Helped me out super efficiently and I was very grateful to Brianna for her stellar communication and reassurance. A little on the expensive side but you pay for quality
Tom Brymer is a Legend
We met Tom Brymer today as the court-appointed solicitor for our upcoming trial, and we were genuinely impressed. Although it was our first meeting, he was immediately very helpful, informative, and professional. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all our questions patiently, and made sure we understood the legal process ahead.
It’s clear that he is highly dedicated and a master in his craft, even in this early stage. His calm and confident manner gave us reassurance during a stressful time, and we feel fortunate to have his support.
Based on our initial experience, we highly recommend him to anyone needing strong and knowledgeable legal representation and most importantly we won the case.
Very proffesional and helpful
Thank you for all help. Specificly I would like to reccomend Clare Galo. She was very proffesional and empathetic. Also it's worth to mentioned huge dedication of David Butcher. It was a pleasure.
My first experience facing a criminal conviction.
I have never had to instruct a solicitor before, and I hope to never again. However, Jenny Kabala was the best solicitor I could have asked for. From start to finish the service from everyone I encountered was professional and prompt. Jenny was reassuring and transparent which was really helpful. She explained everything to me so that I could understand and make informed decisions. Importantly as well, there are no hidden fees! What you pay for is what you get, regardless of what needs to happen the cost is fixed. I completely recommend Reeds to anyone who need professional criminal defence solicitors
