  • I had the opportunity to engage with Stary Norton during a very difficult time. Sam Norton and his partner Andrew Halphen provided not just vast experience of the legal system but managed to bring perspective through a consultative approach to navigate the process ahead of me while being patient with me, explaining each step of the way and legal jargon where needed. At all times, Sam communicated clearly throughout the process together and provided confidence to me that I had chosen the right firm to represent me.

  • Brilliant service. My solicitor achieved a result for me that I didn’t think was possible. The entire law firm was available to assist, including senior partners, who shared their insight and experience. My solicitor worked hard and quickly. She knew exactly what to do, she always told me every possible outcome for every possible decision. She also supported how I wanted to approach my charge. There was no way I could have achieved the result alone that me and my solicitor achieved together. I strongly recommend Stary Norton Halphen for anyone who is facing the criminal legal system. They will help you.

  • Couldn’t be happier with the experience I had with Stary Norton Halphen. The professionalism and approach was outstanding throughout the whole process. The correspondence was comprehensive, timely and easy to understand. The advocacy from Louise Conwell and Jim McGarvie were second to none and I can’t recommend more highly their services!
