Ian represented me in such a traumatic time when I lost both my parents in what was a horrific false accusation. He explained the corroboration law very well and the likely outcomes. He showed passion, integrity and a strong desire to attain an acquittal. His attention to detail and cross examination skills led to him raising 4 areas of reasonable doubt which led to a fair and just verdict. I would not hesitate to recommend Ian’s expertise and would advise anyone not to go elsewhere should you find yourself in trouble. I will forever be grateful to Ian for his compassion and salient attention to detail.

I have only good words to say about Ian. My family required legal aid through the most distressing time He never judged, not one bit and was readily available to answer any of our questions/concerns. He is such a lovely man and we highly recommend Ian if you are ever in an unfortunate position to require legal help.

Ian Woodward-Nutt was recommended to me by a highly accredited Aberdeen Solicitor. I am so grateful and thankful that Ian was available to represent me, in one of the most destressing times of my life. Ian is compassionate, patient, and honest. Ian’s professionalism and knowledge in criminal law is outstanding. I was kept well informed and Ian’s promptness of correspondence was so reassuring. Thankfully I was admonished, I truly believe that things could have been so different had I not had Ian defending me. If you’re looking for a solicitor who genuinely cares and want’s what is best for you, look no further! I can get on with my life and will put this all behind me. However, I will not forget what Ian has done for me, I will be forever grateful. Thank you, Ian.

My family found ourselves in a situation where we needed help and we found Ian Woodward-Nutt. Ian was the calm head we needed and he took us through every step, explained everything calmly and clearly and led us through the whole process. Without Ian's guidance, experience and understanding of the law we may have not got the right outcome. We cannot recommend Ian enough and we will be forever grateful to him. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you need expert legal advice from a calm head, Ian is the person to go to. Thank you Ian, you are a superstar
