Warm regards and great respects
“I would like to thank you for helping me get a payout so quickly from my old employers and for doing it at such a reasonable fee”
“Rodney was amazing. He got me to write on the file in a big marker pen what I wanted. He then ticked them off one by one, and we got them all!”
“My solicitor said I should settle for £4,500. Rodney got me £17,000.”
“Oh this is Heavenly news.
And you thankyou for not crucifying me in fees you must be blessed.”
“I came to Rodney on my divorce feeling like a widow. My credit cards had been cut up and my car would not start. In six months everything was settled, and I even bought a convertible Mini to make me feel younger.”
Wow! thank you so so much to you that’s a great deal off my mind.
i cant thank you all enough for your help and hard work. what a result. many thanks shelley
I got a 28 day ban and total costs of £225 which is better than I could ever have expected as this is completely out of their guidelines
Just to say thank you. Your website is very true. There are not many in the legal trade who would have passed on details without some charge, in fact our own family solicitors which we have used for years did not want to know or give advice on this situation. So I genuinely thank you for your help.
I cannot promise you hundreds of pounds of business but my wife and I run our own business that from time to time requires legal advice which until now, has followed tradition and used the “family” solicitor ,maybe it’s time for a change.
I also wanted to say your efforts, persistence and valiant effort were so appreciated.
Thank you so much for your help, if anyone I know finds themselves in the unfortunate position I am in I will definitely recommend you.
We have been dealing with yourself and your firm for a number of years, January 1999- present, during which time as clients, have experienced a first class and speedy efficient, professional legal service, not to mention skilful and honest advice, for which we are most grateful.
Over the many years of business (about ten years, I recall) with yourself we gained total confidence in your advice and liked your ability to speedily resolve problems and disputes.
Over the years my firm has dealt with you, both as a client and as a fellow professional in practice. During my association with you, both myself and my client, have found you to provide a speedy and efficient service. Furthermore, you have shown yourself to be supportive and not easily dissuaded from the cause.
You have dealt with my legal affairs since 1978. I would like to put on record the fact that at all times you dealt with honesty, integrity and efficiency. On two particular occasions we had to go to court over matters of extreme personal importance to me. On both occasions you handled matters with delicacy and perception. More importantly, due to your professional approach, you won both cases.
You are both my personal lawyer and my company legal advisor and have been for the past ten years. During this time you advised me on at least ten occasions when we dealt with such issues as starting a new enterprise, maximising the value of our software, preventing competitors from copying our work, collecting payment from creditors, getting divorced and removing a tree which was planted directly in front of the house.
You have always provided the best possible legal advice-objective, insightful and practical- and most importantly perhaps, you have consistently told me all the relevant facts of a particular case in a single telephone conversation, other lawyers would have needed two meetings, three letters and four weeks to achieve the same objective!
I am happy to report that, because of your help, guidance and superb negotiating skills, we have never lost a case in court.
For approximately two years my firm has dealt with your practice in your capacity as legal advisor to various of our clients. Our clients felt that the service you provided was conducted in a speedy and efficient manner.
“I spoke to them at 7 p.m. We were in Court next morning at 10 a.m. and got an Injunction against my violent ex-husband at 10.30 a.m.”
This is a quick e-mail to say thank you for helping me with my case, i have received my conviction this morning and i have been given 6 points and have got to pay £130 in fines, and have not been disqualified. Fantastic.
So once again thank you for your hard work and hopefully i will not need your help again for a driving matter lol.
“I was frightened when the Benefits people came to call, but Rodney negotiated an arrangement so that I could pay them back in stages and I have no criminal record”.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your guidance and assistance. You were was absolutely brilliant!
Rodders, you are simply the best! (Not Chris Eubanks, I hasten to add) (smile)
I can assure you that you have not got rid of me, and we’ll remain in contact. We are in the process of gathering every available arsenal and we’ll be back!
Once again, thank you!”
Thanks Rodney, good luck to you, you held true to your claims of being more efficient that solicitors.
I’ve had a meeting today with PE and reached an agreement.
You’ll be delighted to know that they settled on paying me £42,500 ex gratia payment.
A great result.
Thank you very much for your help
We tried and that is the main thing, you help me a lot in this case and i am very satisfied from your side. Your advise were so help full but this time i was not lucky against TFL.I will definitely recommend your firm to my friends if they need any legal help. Thanks again to you for everything.
Good Morning Rodney

John was able to see the kids today @ the agreed venue. Next visit is 2mrow 9-12noon.
Kids were happy to see him.
Thank you for assisting to make today possible.
God bless you.
I just wanted to let you know that DWP and HMRC have agreed on me just repaying them and they will not be taking any further action. This was all down to the service you provided and I just wanted to thank you so much and the team working on my case. It is very much appreciated and I am so relieved.
I will definitely recommend you should the need arise for a friend (I have no intention in putting myself in that situation again).
Thanks for your patience in allowing me to clear my bill in instalments
This was much appreciated and made the whole saga much easier for me to survive!
I’ve had a good look at the other services you offer, and I wont hesitate in the future to get your help and of course recommend you to any friends or family who could benefit from your counsel
Thank you so much for returning the file and for your advice !!! My hearing was today and I got a fine of 350 and have to repay the money!! No ban.
Thank you so much for your help and advice through out.
“I have been very pleased with your services thus far and would recommend you to anyone without hesitation. I was under the impression that an overseas divorce was going to be a nightmare, however, you have made the process simple and very straight-forward.”
Rodney
You sound to me like one of the few really decent people left.
When this is all over I will add a link to my web site.
If it is not all over I will come to you and sit down and talk fees etc.
I have just seen my wife’s Form H – I could not believe my eyes! So far she has been charged £5,510!!!!!!!! I thought for a while that maybe the the decimal point must have shifted!. Suffice to say your fees seem very reasonable!
This is to confirm that I have now received the certificate of dissolution.
I am so grateful to you for the work that you have done over the last few months – the service that you have offered has been absolutely first rate, and, I know that if I ever need a lawyer again your firm will be my first port of call!
I have already recommended you to a friend, who is in a similar situation. He should be in touch with you in the coming months.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work on my case, your advice, help and support was much appreciated with the added bonus of your effect on the opposition.
I will also be recommending you at all appropriate opportunities.
“Thank you for everything you have done for me. Your excellent and highly professional performance in front of GMC yesterday really saved my license. And that has been fully appreciated by both my wife and me.
And yes, I will contact you in future since I intend to come to this beautiful country and open up my GP office. I will then need advice from a lawyer and I will contact you. Please take care of you and your health so that we can collaborate in future as well.”
That was a brilliant questionaire you sent to the other side Rodney.Well done.
Thank you for everything.
You are amazing, Nikki thinks you’re great.
Rodney…counsel was fantastic! All in all….counsel could not have done anymore….he fought like a “lion!” Once again…thank you from the bottom of our hearts! You are the best!
Thanking you!
“OH MY GOD. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH
I have had a shit day just thought I was having to sit down to do paperwork.
My dog gave birth to 8 pups last night had no sleep and just come in from horses to find one dead!! Straight away thought that was an omen into what was happening with this case.
THANK YOU THANK YOU. YOU ARE A GENIUS :- )
Will ring mum now and take the paperwork up for signing in the morning.”.
“When I was charged, my solicitors said I would have to plead guilty and get a criminal record. Rodney, ground them down and in the end they dropped the case”.
“Sorry I did not contact you yesterday , I was extremely exhausted. I am very happy with the outcome and Thomas was very good . He is excellent barrister . Thank you very much for everything.”
“Rodney You are amazingly efficient”.
“Rodney has been divorced himself and has five children. I could really tell he is fighting for me.
He even gave me a book “For the Sake of the Children” from Families Need Fathers. He really cared.”
“I came to Rodney through Families Need Fathers. It was a long, hard battle, but I now see my children every weekend, which has changed my life”.
“I could actually understand the agreement they drafted for me”

He does indeed deal with company litigation disputes. I would recommend that you contact him now and talk with him about your case and enquire about his fees. Perhaps you know some other people in need of a good and affordable legal defense and could recommend Rodney to them as well.
“They were with me every step of the way”
“They are old fashioned/God fearing/hardworking/Fulham proletariat and they have a view about the Establishment and the law which might not be dissimilar to yours.
If anything I think they rather like you even more now if that’s possible!”.
“Thanks to you, I have been given this, instead of prosecution.
I accepted formal caution today and the case is closed.
Thank you again for your efforts to do this all for me.”
“No stuffed shirts this lot. They made me laugh and cheered me up for the first time in ages, and got me much more than my previous- stuffed shirt-solicitor had told me to expect”.
“Dear Rodders, Just a quick email to thank you for the chat the other day even though I didn’t pay you for this, but you still gave me the inspiration and strength to battle on. I managed to salvage a bad situation from this and a Cheque is on the way for £6000 got it up from £5000. A Big Thanks Goes out to the Rottweiler Love the Video Your are a Real Character”
“Can’t believe it’s over. That lady you sent me and sorry her name escapes me now is lovely and a credit. I’m not saying that cos I walked away. She was so calming we had so many stop starts with all my paperwork being at the wrong court and them not listing me. But she got me through it. Please thank her again for me. She had to rush off back to london. I hope I never need your services again! But if I should I would always use you. Thank you again.”
“He came to see the property, got me £2000 off the price, fixed my mortgage, and got me in for Christmas”.
“Good news Rodney, The GMC phoned me today to tell me I’ve been granted my provisional license!
Thanks for your and the girls’ help.”
“Get them on your side. Heaven help you if they are against you”
“I hope you don’t look back on the GMC hearing in Manchester with anything other than satisfaction: with all the concerns about your lay client I think you achieved a cracking result.”
“I have been running my own business for 20 years and have never met a solicitor who had a clue how small businesses work- then I came across Rodney. I now use him for all my legal work.”
“This mean basically that I pay her 177k once the house is sold plus child support as per the Child support guidelines.
And this is a clean break – once and for all?
Hip hip hooray and well done Rodney.”
” your the best, and i have no stress now.”
‘As an aside, notwithstanding my view of your tactics as despicable, I did find them refreshingly ruthless and very effective. once this is settled and conflicts removed, you will certainly get my call the next time i am in a dispute.’
“Rodney,
Just a quick note to say I really appreciate your help during this most difficult time.
We have known each other for a long time, and I can see you have gone the extra mile on this one. Thank you.”
“What a day! But success nevertheless ,even the barrister thought was a 50:50 chance.
Great team work Rodney,
Speak tomorrow
Cheers”
“Hi Rodney
Hope you’re well. I just thought I’d let you know that I received a letter from the Council to say that they are not taking the matter any further. I do however obviously have to pay the money back.
Thank you so much for your help with this!..”
“OH MY GOD. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH”
