Testimonials

Mr Draycott was the outstanding Solicitor I had beside me when I was falsely accused of a serious crime and my whole world fell apart. From the very first meeting, I knew I had found the best Solicitor to represent me. He listened and understood me. He gave me empathy and support beyond the call of duty which enabled me to face the frightening situation that I was in.

Shaun Draycott steered us through the CCRC application that led to the 2nd appeal and was truly invaluable in the entire process, he brought total belief in Ched and dedication to the cause. His greatest strength in my opinion is the humanity he brings to the legal process, and the care and consideration he showed our vulnerable witnesses, is a prime example.

When my son faced legal proceedings, he was extremely fortunate that a professional colleague recommended the services of Shaun Draycott to him. Shaun is one of the most competent and empathetic people I have ever met! As well as being an outstanding professional with a complete understanding of legal proceedings and matters, the support that he afforded my son and his close family was simply the best in all aspects. We will always be grateful to him.

Divorcing my wife was a painful experience, but to be falsely accused of criminal assault by my (now) ex-wife made a difficult situation worse and, potentially, threatened my whole professional career. I was immensely grateful to you for understanding the impact of this on me and my family and for personally devoting your time and energy to advising and guiding me through my interview with the Police under caution. Your calm presence and deep experience were invaluable in helping me deal with a totally unfamiliar and un-nerving interview. The fact that the Police thereafter decided not to refer the matter to the Crown Prosecution Service spoke volumes. Without your professional advice, clear understanding of my concerns and sympathetic personal approach I do not believe that I would have been able to give my evidence as calmly as I did. Thank you Shaun not just from me but also my family.

For the last three years I have been living a nightmare.

It was with both joy and a great sense of relief that I was finally exonerated of any wrong-doing at Liverpool Crown Court on the 18th October 2018.

I wish to express my sincere gratitude to my legal team, Michael Neofytou and Robert Shaw of 25 Bedford Row Chambers, London together with Rob Mann of Draycott Browne solicitors, Manchester.

All three of them believed in me throughout and guided me through the most turbulent time of adversity that I have ever faced.

I would also like to thank all those friends and former constituents who stood by me during this extremely stressful time. To all of them, I am extremely grateful.

I now seek to concentrate on re-building my life.

Julie was the best solicitor I've ever had.  I would recommend her to anyone on their parole.  Thank you for getting me released.

I’d like to recommend Samantha smith as a the most down to earth solicitor, she made sure my partner was very understanding of how everything was gonna go, she also was there when & whenever was needed even with her busy schedule.

My partner has adhd and dyslexia which means he’s not the best at understanding everything but she made sure he was confident in what he was saying and got him a not guilty we was in & out!

Absolutely amazing work couldn’t recommend her enough!

Sam Smith is an incredibly dedicated solicitor who goes above and beyond for her clients.

Her commitment to achieving the best possible outcome is truly impressive. Highly recommend.

I felt supported and informed every step of the way.

Outstanding Service – Highly Recommended

I honestly can’t thank Sam Smith from Draycott Browne Solicitors enough for her incredible support and professionalism shown throughout my case. From the very beginning, she guided me through every step of the legal process, ensuring I fully understood what was happening at each stage. Her calm, knowledgeable, and reassuring approach made a difficult and stressful situation much more manageable.

Thanks to her hard work and expertise, I received the minimum possible charge, a result I truly believe wouldn’t have been achieved without her dedication. She went above and beyond, always making herself available to answer questions, offer advice, and provide support when I needed it most.

If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about their clients and delivers results, I couldn’t recommend her more. A true professional in every sense.

Provided some really helpful advice and when I asked how much I owe, the gentleman said nothing.

Thank you so much

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the support you have provided to my partner.

Your professional services have guided him through challenging times and have reminded him of his strengths and values reinforcing the person he has become. A solicitor who is fair, firm, and trustworthy. Your dedication and professionalism have made a lasting difference, and we are truly appreciative of the entire team’s efforts.

Thank you once again for your continued support and commitment.

I cannot speak highly enough of Draycott Browne. They represented me in an exceptionally long and complicated criminal case, and from my very first contact, I was impressed by their unwavering professionalism and dedication.

Throughout the entire process, which spanned several years, I was treated with the utmost courtesy, patience, sympathy, and understanding. What truly sets them apart is their holistic approach; they provided invaluable support not just to me, but also to my family, during an incredibly stressful time.

Draycott Brown assembled a formidable legal team whose expertise was evident at every stage. While the final outcome of the case was not what I had initially hoped for, I am absolutely certain that they achieved the best possible result given the difficult circumstances. Their strategic guidance and relentless effort minimised further distress and secured a position that allows me to move forward.

I would recommend Draycott Brown without reservation to anyone facing complex litigation. They are more than just brilliant lawyers; they are compassionate advisors who fight tirelessly for their clients.

My brother just came out of court today.
Sam Smith was very professional and our outcome was brilliant.
Draycott Browne Solicitors have a great team.

Represented by Sam Smith today. Not guilty verdict after trial. Very happy. She is brilliant.

Massive Thank You!

I want to say a massive thank you and well done to my solicitor, Sam Smith, for winning my court case. What an amazing woman! I couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor — she filled me with so much confidence and supported me throughout the entire process and on the day of the trial.

Both Sam and the company were outstanding, and I would highly recommend them for any future cases. Thank you again for everything — I’ll definitely be passing on your details to friends and family!

Couldn’t recommend Draycott Browne enough. Caitlin was amazing from start to finish, she was professional, polite and made me feel at ease in one of the hardest times.

If I ever had a question or needed advice she would always email back or call me back if needed.

Caitlin explained everything in depth from start to finish.

Thanks to Caitlin I have my life back, I’ll never be able to thank her enough.

I know I made the right choice when looking for a solicitor and if anyone finds themselves in a horrible situation I can only assure you to put your trust in them.

Michelle who I briefly dealt with was also great and again professional and polite and always on the end of a phone if I needed any help.

I would highly recommend Draycott Browne Solicitors.

I want to thank Lorna Wincote for representing myself,

Lorna gave me reassurance from the start of this difficult journey, I will be forever grateful for her support and dedication from start to end with a fantastic outcome .

Yesterday, Sam Smith represented me at my trial. After just the 1st out of 4 witnesses it was over. Sam had the witnesses false statements wrapped and exposed. She was confident, well prepared and took no shit, she was impressive to watch. I wouldn't have anyone else represent me ever again (hopefully won't need to). Both my charges were returned NOT GUILTY!!!!

Sam went above and beyond even after the hearing giving advice and a conclusion report for me to use to get my life back on track. As you can tell she is HIGHLY recommended by me

Represented by Samantha Smith.

Dictacted the perfect outcome and represented strong!

Would recommend anytime.

Thank you Sam

Sam Smith was truly amazing, made an application for no evidence.

Thanks for the not guilty.

Sam Smith was truly amazing with my trial to day got me a not guilty she smashed it out the park with my case thank you so much she’s the best and I always use Sam.

I can’t thank Sam Smith enough for the support and representation she gave me. From the very beginning she was clear, professional and genuinely reassuring during a very stressful time.

My case was not straightforward, but Sam handled everything with confidence and kept me fully informed throughout. She took the time to understand my situation and presented my case in the best possible way in court.

Thanks to her work, I received a far better outcome than I was expecting — a 1 year disqualification and a fine, with no community service or suspended sentence.

I would highly recommend Sam to anyone dealing with a motoring or criminal matter. She is knowledgeable, approachable and truly fights for the best result for her clients.

Recently represented by Samantha Smith in magistrates court. Honestly Sam is amazing at what she does and was seriously invested in my case... through her expertise she managed to get half of my charges dropped entirely and the other I was found not guilty for.

Sam know's her law and court room's extremely well so if you are assigned her as a solicitor your in good hands.

I cannot thank Samantha Smith enough.

Absolute over the moon with the outcome of today.

Absolute best Solicitor I've ever had.

She was confident and I got the best outcome ever. Which I wanted. It means so much to me.
