I cannot recommend Galbraith Branley solicitors enough and no words can express how grateful we are to Mr Shah for the professional manner in which he handled our case and represented my wife in court. My wife was recently involved in what we believe is a fraudulent claim of a car incident. At the roadside, my wife was extremely distressed, and to cut a long story short, she was arrested for ‘failing to provide her personal details when asked’, and then at the station, she was asked to provide a breath sample, but unfortunately was too distressed and upset at the time to blow correctly into the machine, leading to the more serious charge of ‘failure to provide a specimen for analysis’. Having a brother who worked as a custody sergeant for many years, I KNEW the case against her would be extremely difficult to fight and win. Subsequently, having discussed with a few specialist lawyers in that field, it was apparent the costs of trying to defend would be upwards of £6,000 of which only a small amount would be reclaimable in the event of a win and the consequences of losing would be disastrous for us. We decided to instruct Galbraith Branley for two main reasons, firstly because I had total confidence with Mr Shah following my initial discussion with him about the case, and secondly because their costs to represent my wife were extremely reasonable in comparison to other solicitors. Having read the case file, Mr Shah gave us an HONEST appraisal of what he believed to be the best course of action, and that was to negotiate a plea bargain with the prosecution to ‘minimise the damage’. He could quite easily have suggested we defend the charge which would certainly have resulted in much higher legal costs to their benefit. We did investigate medical reasoning to defend, but this proved to be fruitless as our doctor ultimately could find no medical reason that would have prevented my wife from blowing correctly. So in the end, the only defence we had was her state of mind at that time, but this does not cancel out the fact that my wife had agreed to do the breath test without stating any reasons WHY she may not be able to do so when asked by the custody officer. As such, we were in total agreement with Mr Shah that a plea bargain was the best course of action in our situation. Prior to entering court for the hearing, Mr Shah had already negotiated the dropping of the initial charge of failing to provide personal details. He was then extremely professional in providing a strong case of mitigating circumstances explicating the reasons why my wife failed to provide a breath sample. This charge being considered very serious and carrying a maximum driving ban of 3 years and fine of upto £5000. The court was very sympathetic to my wife’s case, only imposing the bare minimum ban and fine which of course they are obliged to do. We are 1000% certain the outcome would have been very different had it not been for the professional manner in which Mr Shah represented my wife. Our biggest fear was the fine, which we were expecting would be at least £1000, but was only the very minimum that the courts must impose and including court costs etc was only a small fraction of what we were expecting. Needless to say, we walked out of court extremely happy with the outcome. I would have no hesitation in using Galbraith Branley Solicitors in the future, but hopefully not in the same circumstances LOL If you have read this review to the bitter end, WELL DONE, sorry it is so long, but I hope it inspires confidence to use Galbraith Branley Solicitors, and if you are represented by Mr Shah, in my opinion your case could not be in ‘better hands’.

Outstanding professionalism!!!!!!!! 5 STAR!!! I am more than delighted, that Galbraith Branley Solicitors took up My case, as I was facing to lose My 20 years here in the UK, over some case that was beyond silly and half of it was based on false allegations. As a highly skilled professional, I was never been arrested in My life, never dealt with the Police, not here in the UK and not in My native Country. ( I am a National Security vetted person, with a perfectly clear criminal record. ) Was facing to lose My freedom and criminal record cleanliness for good, plus a hefty £ fine! So, for Me, who is extremely struggling £ financially these recent times, everything was on the line. Mr Rumit Shah, from Galbraith Branley Solicitors did everything he promised to get Me out of the deep and on the second court meeting ( sentencing ) he clearly demonstrated a very high level of professionalism and eloquent speech pattern, that I was thinking that I am watching some kind of a "court room movie" ! Mr Shah should be recommended to everyone that is expecting difficulties and in a need of a crafty criminal solicitor with a very high level of professionalism. Not just that, but he had to deal with My extreme frustration and anxiety over this case, so it is indeed the mark of a TOP CLASS criminal solicitor! Respect! Very highly recommended to everyone, please look out for Mr Rumit Shah at Galbraith Branley Solicitors, the man worth every £ Pounds that you would invest into your defence! Thank you! G

Having never found myself in trouble with the law before, the day of my arrest felt like the worst day of my life. One man made the day bearable, my lawyer Anthony Branley. Anthony was sent to meet me at the police station by my employers so to an extent our relationship was entirely random, but I thank my lucky stars because, in my opinion, he's the best lawyer going. That day was the beginning of a relationship lasting four years and throughout that ordeal Anthony kept me calm and helped me to defend myself against six serious charges, all of which I was subsequently acquitted of. His knowledge of the law is second to none and at no point did he let my head go down. Rather his positivity kept me going through some of my darkest days. He doesn't know this, but I actually looked forward to seeing him during the preparation of my case because he gave me the self belief to keep fighting. He found me the best QC in London, Nigel Rumfitt, to represent me in court, who was ably assisted by Mr Branley's colleague Ross Johnson. The three of them were a formidable team to whom I will always be grateful. I should also mention the rest of the Galbraith Branley team who were always friendly and courteous during my many visits to the office. I cannot recommend this firm highly enough. If there were six stars I'd have given them.

  • Sandy Jay

My granddaughter have had the privilege of L McDougall and another senior colleague represent her on a few court cases. Solicitors from Galbraith Branley are trained to a very high standard and know case law, unknown to others, which became apparent in court, when debating legal professional on points of law in court. This firm have shown total dedication and due care to take instruction from their client, to ensure they are represented with full agreement. My granddaughter most recent case, was high stakes therefore quite traumatic. Mrs Mcdougall pulled out all the stops to ensure the case was thrown out – which it was. In summery – Through it all, our experiences and the level service provided by the firm was Premier League. Finally, we were honoured to have Mrs McDougall represent us, “she is a force not to be reckoned with”. Quote taken for a counterpart who said it whilst we were at court when he spoke to us, I’ll never forget that quote. We cannot thank Mrs McDougall enough for what she has done for my granddaughter and family. I so happy Galbraith Branley was recommended to me. J & S Johnson

When you have you back against the wall and the sky is about to fall on your head, I was abandoned by solicitor (provided by the police) at court who decided to not show, i was ready to plead guilty after the horrible arrest and 3 day detention i was put through, then Mr Shah came to my rescue just before the hearing and told me to put my trust in him which i did and persuaded me to plead not guilty after using his expertise to find a viable defence. Mr Johnson and Mr Shah really can make miracles happen, very helping honest and ethical, the type of defense professionals that are not in it for the money, they are in this line of work to sincerely help people and they really are top of the class at what they do, very smart articulate individuals who think outside the box and will win your case if not have the charges dropped all together. Thank you so much for what you have done for me and i am forever in your debt. Yours sincerely, A free man, with no criminal record thanks to the above.

  • Anthony Halford

I am extremely happy to provide a review for Rumit who I believe is exceptional in their line of work. For context, I had been charged with Drink-driving and was facing a long driving ban, plus a hefty fine. Rumit impressed me with 1. His knowledge in criminal law 2. His ability within court to challenge the prosecution in their statement 3. Questioning the fine in which the Judge had got wrong. Without his challenge, my fine would have been £500 more than what it is. Hiring Rumit was the best decision I had made as it reassured me that my case was in good hands. From the attention to detail, to the professionalism & expertise he showed before, during & after the court hearing, I could not have been more happy with my choice. If you are looking for someone to represent you, who is knowledgeable, responsive, and committed to their client, I would highly recommend Rumit.

  • Krzys Magiera

Hello. Very nice and so helpful team. Receptionists know what they doing and all my meetings was very well managed. I have meet Mr. Rumit who explained to me everything I needed to know and how much costs will be as I was in big trouble. Was very happy with the price. This practice changed my knowledge about that lawyers just want to get how much they can. Honestly thanks to all team and Zoe who was looking after me in court I realised how much they was helping me. I was expecting more cost coming when this team informed me that my case is finally finished what really took the heavy stone from my heart. I will extremely recommend Galbraith Branley Solicitors to help all of you who need support in any cases. Thanks Zoe! Krzysztof Magiera.

  • A S

Just had a call from a lady and she sounded like someone forced her to call me and she really could not be bothered to speak to me. I asked her couple of questions and she wasn’t happy about me asking anything. I really can not cannot imagine anyone of lacking encouragement handling my case. I rather pay the double and go somewhere else. I also had to ask her couple of times to send me an email with the quote Which I still have not received. I contacted this firm because I saw all the good reviews and testimonials on their website but I guess they must be either very old or fake. Only plus point I would say is that it was cheaper then some other places I called up but as i said i rather pay more and be more confident about my case.

  • Zeeshan Ali

If you ever find yourself in a situation where you are to be dealt with by courts of law and you’re not sure who the right people are to represent you then look no further. With Galbraith Branley solicitors you are in extremely professional and capable hands. From start to end they treated my case with amazing affection and organisation making me feel a bit more at ease with all the court proceedings taking place right up until the end where I was lucky enough to walk out of court and go back home to my family. A massive thank you to Lauren, Humza and all others at Galbraith Branley for your excellent efforts and amazing methods. Couldn’t have done it without you :)

In a Modern-day slavery case, Royce Menase was not only extremely knowledgeable, but she was highly sensitive to the fact that it was proving to be a traumatic experience for all involved. Royce would 'check in' with us and make sure we knew what was happening at all times. GALBRAITH BRANLEY SOLICITORS are the best firm I have ever worked with. From our first meeting, everything was explained to me in terms I could easily understand and Royce was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. Her legal representation restored my faith in the justice system. If you're seeking legal help as a client, call GALBRAITH BRANLEY SOLICITORS today.

  • Thiago Lezcano

Very professional, I would like to thank Dave Holland and especially Lauren McDougall . I was facing a long sentence with harsh repercussions.

Lauren took control of the situation and the way my defence was delivered and the positive outcome of my case is testament in it self to her aprouch and professionalism provided.Words aren’t enough to describe how greatful I am and I would highly recommend them . Prior to approaching them I had two bad experiences with other firms so it was refreshing a to have worked with Galbraith Branley .Thank you for your time and efforts .

  • che llo

I found this company via a google search as i needed assistance in a court case. I found them to be exceptionally professional and knowledgable for the issues i had. They dealt with them in court with a professional manor and attended extremely prepared. Whilst you'd expect this of a trained company in their field of work, its surprising how many company just slip the net where professionalism comes into play. These guys did not fail, excellent work and will use them again Marsel

  • Sylvia Coleman

I contacted Galbraith Branley for help with a colleague and immediately we received the very best of guidance and assistance. We were seeing them late in the day but they jumped all over the case and we immediately felt completely reassured that between Anthony, Rumit and Ross, we simply couldn’t have been in better hands. They were also reassuring but still honest and straightforward and never patronising in any way. A true pleasure to deal with and thoroughly recommended.

  • imaduit123

  • paul gersh

Galbraith Branley have represented our son as a client for several years & we have found that they have always dealt with his situation professionally and compassionately, providing his parents also with timely and accurate updates. Due in no small part to the skilful representation by James Appleton, this has now resulted in the best possible outcome for our son and we could not recommend Galbraith Branley highly enough.

  • Looch K

  • Irina Behnert

I gave instructions to Rumit Shah from Galbraith Branley to clarify some complicated matters, the result of fake accusations against us. He showed high professionalism and discretion in dealing with this case, he offered full support to navigate out of this strange situation. In addition, Mr Shah has a reliable, quick and very efficient assistant /Lewis Brathwaite. Wishing him to become a good solicitor one day.

  • Zahir Sediqi

I would like to convey my deepest gratitude for the hard-work and dedication given to achieve the success I got from my court case.

  • Ann Marie Woodhall

They are understanding, kind and at the same time professional and know the law. Many years ago I asked a CPS lawyer who he thought was the best company to deal with a criminal matter and he said one of the best he had come across was Galbraith & Branley. 10 years later having to call on their help again I can honestly say in my eyes they are still the best ! Big thanks to Lauren once again.

  • Jessica Hockings

Working with Silvia has been a pleasure , my case was complex and the whole way through she provided reassurance every step of the way she went above and beyond for the best out come and the support recieved was exceptional, if it’s ever needed again I’ll definitely be going back to her !

  • SallyNeko

Worst firm of Solicitors and Anthony Branley is the worst principal ever, no wonder the firm separated and moved to smaller premises. They messed up my case and failed to provide proper service. Do not make a mistake to use this firm for any family matters. They are very unprofessional too. The star is only their because you cannot comment without it.

  • Nathan Grant

Couldn’t be more thankful for the help that Louis Keyworth has given me through an extremely difficult time where I initially felt powerless and unsure when dealing with court proceedings. He’s been brilliant throughout, keeping me up to date and providing invaluable advice by phone and email. Would highly recommend this solicitors no faults at all.

  • Amanda-Leigh Yates
