Client Testimonials
TESTIMONIAL: Thank you so much. No5 Chambers are my first choice for any new cases that come through we instruct more Counsel from No5 than anywhere else. This is because the staff and barristers are great, reliable and always provide a consistent excellent service 2nd to none.
TESTIMONIAL: I am overwhelmingly impressed by the way the case was put together. A masterpiece of a skeleton argument something I have been waiting almost my entire lifetime to date to see from a Counsel instructed on a Direct Access basis. I cannot show my gratitude enough and a simple THANK YOU would seem vein enough not to convey the feeling that I feel having read it all.
TESTIMONIAL: Our clients felt that the outcome was a very positive one and that its the right way forward at this time. They wish to convey their sincere and heartfelt thanks to No5 Chambers, whom they feel executed proceedings expertly, with grace and care. They felt that your approach to the situation and indeed Miss A was highly instrumental in bringing about a good outcome for us all. This was, they thought exceptional given that the counsel was briefed late in the day.
TESTIMONIAL: Just wanted to say a huge thank you for your efforts on this case. I have only just managed to speak to L and heard more about the case. She was delighted and very impressed with all you did. I would also like to thank you for your support and attention to details throughout, which paid off in the end!
TESTIMONIAL: I have reviewed the Skeleton. All I can say is excellent as always. I have passed it around my team and advised them as to the difference in calibre of counsel between No5 and other chambers, the exact reason why we only instruct No5. Thank you ever so much for stepping into the breach on this I’m eternally grateful.
