The Barrister Group Arvostelua 

Available at extremely short notice, easy to make contact and excellent result, thank you.

Instructed Mr Taj Uddin. He pointed out the weaknesses in my case and how this will be used by the opposition. Explained how to overcome these weaknesses at the hearing. He fought my corner strenuously. Very happy with the result of the hearing. I intend to use his professional service in the near future. Sadiye from Stuart and Co Solicitors

Robert Jones has proved himself an expert in a number of litigious matters for my firm, assisting with tactics and advocating superbly at various hearings. He is an invaluable asset for our clients.

Arthur Blake’s knowledge, wit, patience (with me), and most especially his advice and guidance to lead the way through a very messy set of events, and turn a sorry matter into a sharply focussed assessment and letter, was truly eye-opening for me.

The result of Arthur’s work has been invaluable to me - a Justice Review was averted - the institution who had served me very badly (by glossing over a formal complaint) capitulated and agreed to look at the matter again. Thank you to Arthur and all at Clerksroom.

Monica has drafted a number of particulars for me. Without fail she will turn the work around extremely quickly, produce professional advices and is always willing to go the extra mile. Thank you!

My academic appeal was handled by Jenan.. It was frustrating time for me, but with Jenan assistance things were a little bit at ease, and she always made sure to provide best service possible to get me a positive outcome... would definitely recommend if you're looking for someone to trust on your appeal.

Great Service from the clerks and excellent work by Ms Boothroyd who picked up the papers and really understood them quickly and was very helpful in her inquiries before dealing with the hearing.

Great service provided by both Hayley at Clerks room and Counsel Sarah Green. Professional and knowledgeable. Always excellent response times. Many thanks. Blythe Liggins

Great service provided by both Clerks room and Counsel Tina Kumar-Jacob. Professional, knowledgeable and excellent response times. Many thanks. (Escalate Disputes)

Joanne Phillipson was amazing, she went above and beyond for my case. The level of detail and cross examining was brilliant. I have instructed numerous legal advisors in my family case, and I have to say they have been appalling. Joanne on the other hand is someone you want and need in your corner. She fought hard in my case, i honestly thought I was fighting a losing battle. Thank you for your amazing service.

Great prompt and professional service by Clerksroom Barristers and Mediators generally. Barrister Ian Skeate is knowledgeable, experienced, thorough, kind, reasonable, most professional and goes the extra mile always. Thanks. Mr. Hubert Borges-Da-Silva (Fisher Day Solicitors).

Very good legal service provided by Clerksroom Team and as well as the instructed Counsel, Mr Salman Shah

I instructed James Stonehouse to represent a protected party for me. James was very patient with my client and his family in explaining the approval hearing process to them, and settlement was approved without a hitch.
Would use again

Sunny Virk did a great job at Trial representing the Defendant and was successful in dealing with a last minute application. He is very quick thinking and presents the client's case in the best light. He has the ability to read the Judges well. He is very commercial in his thinking and achieved the best outcome commercially for the client. Would recommend.

Will Jemmison from Clerksroom was extremely helpful and accommodated our client at the very last minute. The service we received on the day was excellent. Counsel Samantha Phumaphi was exceptionally good and we look forward to working with her again soon. Thanks

This review has been posted by the son of the person who hired Paul O’Callaghan.

For a full detailed review of my experience with Paul O’Callaghan, google his name within the next 48 hours, and you will find a post detailing everything. (Not allowed to post links in the trust pilot review).

Updates will be posted to the reddit thread. Follow my page!!

I wanted to share my experience with barrister Paul O'Callaghan, who offered to draft grounds of appeal for me for a fee of £2,820. However, when he delivered the document, I found it to be very generic and not in compliance with the relevant practice direction for the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT). Moreover, he failed to provide any explanation for why the appeal was so short and generic. In fact, he purposely omitted quotes from the EAT practice direction in his email, which made it seem like he had done more work than he had. This is explained in detail on the reddit thread.

When I pointed out the errors in the appeal and asked for improvements, it became clear through our back-and-forth communication that he did not have the ability to improve upon it. As a result, I had to write and submit the appeal myself.

After this experience, I wrote to Paul to request a refund and explained my reasons for doing so. He offered a partial refund of £540, which I refused. Instead, I told him that I would leave a review of my experience with him online. Paul O’Callaghan threatened legal action if I were to post a negative review of him. I advised him that the review I post will be completely truthful and can be corroborated by emails and the work he produced, so I have nothing to worry about.

I have submitted a complaint to Clerks-room regarding Paul O'Callaghan, having already complained directly to Paul and he failed to be honest regarding his failings for the services he did not provided. My post will have a live update, of everything that occurs.

Family Clerks go above and beyond their roles attending to enquiries. We confidently instructed Pauline Lewis in Financial Remedy Proceedings. Pauline was attentive to detail and without a shadow of a doubt her experience shone through her advocacy skills at the Final Hearing.

Gerry Heap prepared a written Advice on liability and quantum which very much helped getting a tricky case settled. He was was on hand to speak about the case both before and after his Advice and was, as always, very attentive and clear.

Before the hearing we communicated with Counsel and she was very helpful and concise when replying to our client's queries and concerns. Our client also informed us that the Counsel was brilliant and very professional at the hearing and put him at ease by explaining her strategy and the possible outcome of the case in simple terms before the Hearing commenced. The service and prompt communication provided by the clerks at Chambers was also great.

Clerksroom was able to get me a very proficient barrister in record time named Mr Tahir Ashraf , even though, the instruction came too close to the hearing date.

Tahir is a knowledgeable counsel who is quite broad in his understanding of the law, practice procedure and open to exploring new thinking in litigation. In addition, Tahir takes passion in his work and was able to rustle up a fantastic legal position within minutes that got my client out of a legal pickle. He is also nice and put a human face to the tedious work of a barrister.

I highly recommend him and will be instructing him in future brief
