‘Correna Platt is one of the top criminal appeal lawyers in the country.’
‘Stephensons has long been a firm where client care and dedication to the client's case is foremost and central to the ethos of the case. Their attention to detail is excellent and the client care and detail of instructions prior to counsel becoming involved is exceptional. Their diversity policy is not only on paper nor simply an aspiration, they have recently fully implemented it in the staff they employ and the opportunities given to the staff.’
