Client Testimonials
- Extremely professional and effective representation. Deng and Ash provided outstanding support.read moreread lessA10/08/2026I honestly couldn’t recommend Joe Correy highly enough.I was facing some very serious charges, including affray, damaging property, resisting police and assaulting a police officer. From the very beginning, Joe was absolutely amazing. He was organised, effective and efficient, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of.Joe did a huge amount of groundwork behind the scenes, stayed on top of all the paperwork, followed up phone calls and always kept me informed. He was also constantly checking in to see how everything was going, which made a stressful situation a lot easier to deal with.Unfortunately, Joe was unable to personally appear for me on the day of my court hearing because he had another matter in court. However, that didn’t stop him from making sure I was properly represented. When I asked about having a barrister, Joe arranged for his good friend and barrister, Michael Pickin, to represent me.What impressed me even more was that Joe also went the extra mile and arranged for another solicitor to attend court alongside Michael at no extra cost to me. I genuinely couldn’t have asked for anything more.Michael was fantastic, and having both a barrister and solicitor there made me feel confident that I was in very good hands.Joe and Michael made an excellent team, and I’m extremely grateful for everything they did for me.
