Clients say:

“Oliver is an optimist. He is someone you want in your corner and you will never walk alone
in proceedings if Oliver is on your case. I am a firm believer in God and I truly believe the biggest blessing I got was having Oliver,
he’s an angel to me. I felt like I was broken but Oliver put me back together with all the tools
he had available to him. ” – Anon 2024

“We are so grateful to have him as our solicitor. He gave us hope when we thought everything
was lost, helped us to fight for our rights in court and kept our little one into our care when
the Local Authority had decided to put my newborn into foster placement straight after
birth.” – Anon 2024

“He has been the difference which has enabled me to finally have a life again, and to be safe

and secure at last. He has taken every possible step to ensure my wellbeing and relieve me of

so much stress. He’s been the nicest person to talk to and he shows genuine concern about

people” Anon 2021

“I don’t know what I would do without someone like you, you’re like an angel sent from heaven!! Hope this doesn’t sound silly to you but I appreciate it so much!” – Anon 2018

Colleagues say:

“I manage MCT, a charity led by and for Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities.  Our clients are generally victims of serious abuse
and/or have profound communication issues, disabilities and mental health needs. In this context, Oliver’s rarity shines through. No matter the complexity of the case, or of the client’s
needs, you can absolutely trust Oliver to provide outstanding representation and relax in that the client
could not be in better hands.” – Samuel Bowden, Director of the Margaret Clitherow Trust 2024

“Together with his understanding of the law, his professionalism and his genuine commitment

to fairness and legal aid work, Oliver is a young lawyer with great promise and, in my view,

one to watch.” – Ms. Ann May 33 Bedford Row Chambers 2021
