Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The team works tirelessly in order to achieve the best outcomes for their clients and are extremely responsive, both to clients and counsel, which leads to an exemplary form of support and communication in all directions. Client care is excellent.'
‘They are simply the gold standard in Birmingham when it comes to public law children work, and command respect from other firms and the judiciary alike. They have the highest standards when it comes to drafting/advocacy and they have rightly earned an excellent reputation in the region.’
‘Narinder Singh is a standout associate. His work representing children is of the highest quality, and is markedly different in its attention to detail and thoroughness than the vast majority of others. He takes time to get things right for children, and never cuts corners.'
‘I have worked with Maria Ramon who is very experienced and is an excellent lawyer. She is able to work closely with counsel she instructs to ensure the case put on behalf of the client is the best case possible.'
‘Jas Tamber is the Midlands' leading care lawyer. If it's a big case in Birmingham, he'll be on it. He mainly appears for children, but also represents parents in the most complex of cases. Charlotte Raybould is really going places and is now noted for representing children in increasingly complex cases.’
‘Jas Tamber's reputation extends nationally as a well-liked and respected children's solicitor. Jas is well known for his sound judgment and calm demeanour. Other standout members of the team are Charlotte Raybould, who works like a Trojan and undertakes a lot of advocacy on her own cases and those of her colleagues.'
