Lawtons Solicitors

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr Paul Dillon of Lawtons Solicitors for the outstanding way he handled and prepared the defence of my Crown Court case.

From the outset, Mr Dillon was calm, measured, and exceptionally thorough. He took the time to explain each stage of the process clearly, which made an extremely stressful situation far more manageable.

His preparation was meticulous, strategic, and clearly well thought through — nothing was left to chance. His communication with me was speedy and consistent, at all times too.

I was also impressed by his judgment in selecting the right barrister for my case. The choice proved to be absolutely correct, and it was evident that careful consideration had gone into assembling the strongest possible team. That decision alone demonstrated both experience and insight.

Throughout the entire process, I felt properly advised, fully supported, and confidently represented. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Dillon and Lawtons Solicitors to anyone requiring high-quality criminal defence representation.

I instructed Joanne during a particularly stressful and uncertain period and could not have asked for better representation.

From the outset, she was calm, professional, responsive and clearly very experienced. She quickly identified the key issues in the case, provided straightforward advice, and inspired confidence throughout the process.

What impressed me most was her proactive approach. I am firmly of the view that her involvement made a significant difference to the outcome, and it seemed no coincidence that matters were resolved shortly after she became involved. She was persistent in obtaining updates, challenged where appropriate, and ensured the case received proper scrutiny.

Communication was excellent throughout. Joanne was always approachable, explained matters clearly, and was available whenever guidance was needed. The case ultimately concluded with no further action being taken, and I am extremely grateful for her support and professionalism throughout.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Joanne to anyone requiring expert criminal defence representation and would gladly instruct her again in the future.

I cannot speak highly enough of the service I received from my solicitor, Dawn McKnight. From the very first conversation, she listened to me without judgement and approached my situation with a calm, pragmatic professionalism that immediately reassured me.

Her advice was always clear, practical, and grounded in genuine care for my wellbeing. During my time on remand, Dawn’s support never wavered. She remained a steady and reliable point of contact, ensuring I understood every step of the process and never felt abandoned or overlooked.

She took the lead in coordinating my case, making sure I had the most qualified and effective representation possible for my hearing. Thanks to Dawn and her dedicated team, I achieved the best possible outcome given my guilty plea. Their preparation, expertise, and commitment made a profound difference, and I will always be grateful for the way they handled my case with dignity and professionalism.

I would recommend Dawn without hesitation to anyone in need of a solicitor who truly goes above and beyond.

A huge thank you to Stephen Halloran for helping and supporting me through a difficult and stressful time. Stephen made the whole process so much smoother and easier for not just me but, my family too, calming everyone's concerns. When it came to the court date I was very nervous but, Stephen was quick to sort everything out and get us in and out as quick as possible with best outcome possible.

Lawtons, and in particular Nick Titchener was extremely helpful and influential in my case. Nick demonstrated intelligence, knowledge and most importantly provided an excellent strategy in getting the desired outcome. He’s efficient, direct and has the experience and know-how to handle any situation. Would highly recommend!
