What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Professionalism combined with a personal touch is the praise that surfaces most often in feedback on this Cambridge practice. Several reviewers describe being represented by Chris Meeks, who is repeatedly commended for his diligence and empathy, and for easing clients through divorce proceedings and disputed charges. Charlotte Wilson-Holiday is frequently named for her efficient advocacy as a duty solicitor at police stations, with clients describing her as proactive and reassuring.

Simon Rice is mentioned as a long-standing contact since 2017, with customers noting his reliability and clear communication, while Luke and Jessica Dent are also praised for their professionalism and the outcomes achieved. Something that features in review after review is the quality of advice and the sense of being supported throughout, with clients appreciating being kept informed and treated with respect regardless of their financial circumstances.

Reviewers repeatedly mention pricing that proved fair, with the quoted figure and the eventual cost described as far lower than anticipated. The work covered includes divorce, police station representation and general legal matters. Much of the commentary focuses on how difficulties were resolved, including the withdrawal of unwarranted charges and the arrangement of a client's surrender into custody, which illustrates the practical support offered when clients face serious situations.

They will leave you at risk. I called monday to ask for continued representation in court. I told them can I have a different solicitor to the one I asked to leave in the interview as he kept telling me to calm down when I wasnt even raising my voice. I have been waiting since Monday and no call back like they said. I got worried as I am due in court and could be left at risk. I called them and they said because I sacked luke smith mid interview, they are refusing to help me. Why didnt you say this monday when I spoke to you about Luke and having a different solicitor? That wasn't a great move. And it leaves me vulnerable. Thanks guys. Hope luke isn't too annoyed. As this shows! Maybe he will give people the benefit of the doubt like I did the first time he told me to calm down and I apologised. After that I just said okay your done. I dont need you anymore because that was risking me reacting to him in the police interview.

Would recommend Nick Symmonds and Mark Shelly both extremely professional and very good at their job.

Outstanding! Chris Meeks met and exceeded all of my expectations with diligence, empathy and determination. His quote was a fraction of the price anticipated, as was the entire cost when the situation was resolved in my favour. His down to earth and approachable personality was of great comfort and reassurance. At a time of horrendous distress, you need a man of his calibre. Nothing is too much trouble and I hold him in high regard as a professional and a thoroughly decent human being. The offices are central, basic and reflect the fact they don't need a 'fancy facade' to be the best! I hope never to need his services again but he's first on my list for anyone needing legal expertise.

I recently had Charlotte Wilson-Holiday as the duty solicitor at a Police Station. Incredibly professional and extremely efficient. I cannot recommend this lady highly enough, she is a credit to her firm.

From the very first call, Shelley & Co have been great. My case could have been stressful, but Jessica Dent, my solicitor, handled everything with such care and professionalism. She took the time to explain each step clearly, answered all my questions, and was always there when I needed guidance or reassurance. So big thanks to her, I felt confident throughout the whole process. The entire team were friendly, efficient, and genuinely committed to helping me. I’m so grateful for all their hard work and would recommend Shelley & Co without hesitation.

I was let down by another local law firm who failed to handle my case accordingly which ultimately lead to a warrant being issued for my arrest. I panicked, I didn't know what to do or how to handle this situation but Chris helped to explain the situation to the police and arranged for me to hand myself in at the police station which took over a week to do due to custody suites being full. He pushed for the court see me the same day I handed myself in, so I didn't have to stay in a cell overnight. He then attended my court date and was able to speak with the prosecutor about my circumstances and the case which reduced the charges I was facing. He then explained my personal circumstances and the situation regarding the case itself to the magistrates (who due to Chris' efforts) then implemented a 12 month conditional discharge. Prior to Chris getting involved I was fearing a custodial sentence due to the severity of the charges I was facing. Throughout this Chris was reassuring that I was going to be fine despite my anxiety around the case. He thoroughly explained all the potential outcomes and where I would sit in the perception of the magistrates and explained it all in a way I was able to understand and process. I cannot thank Chris & Shelley & Co enough for all the effort they went through for me and the reassurance I felt knowing I was in safe hands. The relief I now feel is honestly indescribable and I couldn't be happier to put all of this behind me. Fully aware the outcome could of been 10 times worse had I not had Chris Meeks and Shelley & Co in my corner - Thanks again :)
