I will DEFINITELY be recommending Burton Copeland LLP to any of my family/friends if they need a solicitor, especially if it is relation to a driving offence. I explained to Gwyn Lewis, who handled my case, what my financial situation was and where I was up so far with the courts... I was convinced I was going to be disqualified from driving due to how aggressively the police handled the situation at the time. I even entered a guilty plea to both charges against me. I ALMOST DIDN'T CALL A SOLICITOR!!! I knew I was poorly educated on the law and needed advice at this point and contacted several companies that offer similar services. I was quoted ridiculous prices in comparison and came across all kinds of scare tactics along the way, which just made everything feel like it was getting worse. I'm very savvy with old school tactics and time pressure techniques to 'close a deal' but that didn't change how daunting the experience was. With that being said, before I starting picking up the phone I agreed to myself to get '5 quotes'... Burton Copeland was the '5th quote' and it was so refreshing to come across a very relaxed, consultative approach to a stressful situation. To be given insight and context on other cases very similar to your own, have your expectations set from an 'best case - worst case' just eased a lot of anxiety. I appreciated Gwyn's style as he educated me as he went. I learned more in my first 15 minutes on the phone than everything else I had done so far to trying to work out what to do. We had multiple conversations about what information he needed, steps to be taken and how to be efficient so everything is dealt with as swiftly as possible. before we even discussed price... Once a surprisingly reasonsable price was agreed Gwyn proceed to: 1) Talk me through how to provide the correct evidence to have the first charge dismissed from court, and handled this on my behalf. 2) Handle a second offence on my behalf and achieve the minimal possible outcome. 3) Talk me through how I am entitled to be reimbursed for costs incurred against me (which were 5 x the amount I paid, including his legal expenses) Again, I will definitely recommend this company to friends or family, or of course, if I am ever in need of of their services again. I wouldn't even waste my time speaking to another business. Thank you to Gwyn and the team. Daniel

Where does one start when you want to share your story about a company and a man who made a massive impact on your life. Well, it has to be the beginning of the story I guess. Having been driving for nearly 40 years and not having any motoring offences blemishing my licence I made a very, very bad judgement call and committed quite a bad speeding offence and was set for prosecution by the courts, April 2021. Due to the seriousness of the offence I was facing a Ban to which means my job as a delivery driver, my sole income was at risk. Distraught with the thought I scoured the internet looking for a law firm who could represent me to which I sent out emails to various companies. The very next morning whilst at work I received a phone call in response to one of my emails from a firm called Burton-Copeland, based in Manchester. I did eventually get replies from all the other law firms but with Burton-Copeland it was instantaneous. On the other end of the phone was a calm and very resourceful man advising me of what to expect from my motoring offence. From this very first phone call I was lucky enough to be talking to a solicitor called Mr Gwyn Lewis, who is a senior partner at Burton-Copeland. Mr Lewis through out my case was always there with advice and what was happening with my case and court date. Due to Mr Lewis and his expertise I am not only grateful but I feel very lucky to have had the pleasure of dealing with this man who literally saved my job and livelihood. This was a motoring offence but I noticed that Burton-Copeland handle many types of legal situations, so if you are in need of help they should be your first port of call. Professionalism from a company I found that I could trust. Many, Many thanks Burton-Copeland and especially to Mr Gwyn Lewis – who got me a fantastic result in not receiving a ban. From one very pleased motorist David

I found myself in the unfortunate position of facing a Crown matter, despite never having been in any bother all my life. This was a very distressing time, and I didn't know what to do. I initially went with another solicitors, and was not pleased with their level of service, lack of communication, and diligence in dealing with my case. Therefore I looked online and found Burton Copeland. I decided to transfer my representation to them, and never looked back. Hannah Costley was my solicitor appointed, and she was fantastic. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, reassuring and helpful. She also made every effort to make herself available when I needed to talk with her, and get back to me promptly when I contacted her, which was a massive plus. I also was appointed Niamh Ingham as my barrister, and she too was just great. A very helpful, insightful, knowledgeable and decisive advocate. I felt in very safe hands with her representation. All in all, charges against me were dropped within about 9 days of appointing them, as the prosecution offered no evidence. This was in no small part down to the decisive actions taken by Hannah and Niamh to encourage the prosecution to take this decision, and ensuring the correct outcome was reached as quickly and efficiently as possible. So I am naturally delighted with my business with Burton Copeland, and Hannah Costley in particular. At possibly the most difficult time of my life, she made things feel so much better, and I would describe her as a credit to herself and to her profession

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding legal representation provided by Gwyn Lewis, who defended me in a recent serious driving charge. Having been let down from another firm Gwyn was recommended to me at the 11th hour. From the outset, Gwyn demonstrated a high level of professionalism, legal expertise, and dedication to my case. Their meticulous attention to detail and thorough understanding of the intricacies of the law significantly contributed to the positive outcome of my case. Throughout the legal process, Gwyn exhibited excellent communication skills, keeping me well-informed and providing clear explanations of the legal proceedings in both Magistrates and Crown Court. In addition to their legal prowess, Gwyn exhibited empathy and understanding, making what could have been a stressful experience more manageable. He was approachable, responsive to my concerns, and always took the time to address any questions I had. I firmly believe that the favourable resolution of my case would not have been possible without Gwyn's expertise and tireless advocacy on my behalf. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking a highly skilled and reliable legal representative. Thank you!

I used this company for a internal Employment Misconduct Hearing, My workplace 'union' instructed them to represent me, on my behalf. Daniel Weed was my solicitor. I couldn't be more pleased and satisfied with Dan, and therefore the company as a whole. I guess from a client point of view, all I really wanted in simple terms, is to win the allegation we were fighting against. We did win, and so I guess by default it means that I would naturally be satisfied, but the service and personal touch I received from Dan highlights his professionalism and compassion regardless of the win/lose outcome. It wasn't just the 'win' that I was satisfied with. He listened when I needed him to, and made sure I listened when he needed me to, he would always be realistic when managing expectations. He would always be there when I emailed or called. He would always action what ever was on my mind and would always reply and explain/summarise the current situation. I was never left thinking that work was not going on in the back ground during quiet times and I had every faith in him from start to finish. I highly recommend Burton Copleland, and Danial Weed. Thank You to all involved. Paul.

  • Lia J

Thank you Charlotte Ellis. From the very first phone call I made to Burton Copeland (Charlotte Ellis), I could tell that they had extensive experience of dealing with cases similar to mine. Not only did we talk about what stage my proceedings were currently at, but my solicitor was able to talk me through all of the upcoming stages should my case proceed any further. This put me at ease knowing that I was dealing with someone who really knew what they were doing. Charlotte was honest and transparent with me in every aspect, which again put me at easel. Not having any form of legal background, the legal phraseology was foreign to me, however Charlotte guided me through what was required, explaining why certain statements needed phasing in a certain way, and I was comfortable accepting all advised revisions because of this. The burden of ‘doing it on my own’ was immediately lifted once I instructed Burton Copeland to act on my behalf. I am very grateful for all of Charlotte's assistance and glad I chose Burton Copeland.

  • Amy Carr

Big thank you to Erin Cowley for all of her hard work on my partners case which had the best turn out we could of had! Erin was always willing to work outside of her office hours for us and would never fail to make my partner feel like he was in the best hands as he really was, I just really cant thank Erin enough for everything, I will always remember what she had done for us and I will continue to praise her to my friends and family and most of all I highly recommend Erin! If ever I even needed a little reassurance I could call Erin and she would 100% make me feel better about any worries I had at the time, I have never worked with somebody so professional and so honest yet so friendly at the same time, I will never forget this case because it was a horrendous time for me and my partner but mostly ill never forget how much worse it may have been if we had anybody else representing us. Thanks You so much from the bottom of my heart once again!!

  • purpledeflector

If you want a genuine review for this firm, here is mine: desultory at best. Probably in cahoots with GMP is my guess, also. As a woman with a conviction for a really minor offence in the UK, I’m now struggling to find employment and have been for over a year now. This firm, from my experience, is out of touch with the harsh realities of working class life, and makes you feel foolish for being in your predicament. Also, there were many mitigating factors in my case which should have been highlighted in court. Instead, I was pressured into getting an autism diagnosis, at a time when there are incredibly long waiting lists for such. Because the possible diagnosis was so central to the case for mitigation, other issues which ought to have been raised were ignored. I have been advised by another firm that I will now need years of legal assistance to overcome the damaging effects of the case brought against me by GMP. Great.

  • James Richardson

Initially provided with re-assurance that my case would be handled professionally. Absolutely not what happened, being a young motorist that was caught speeding and sought legal help, I wished to plead guilty in absence and mitigate the offence. Initially everything was on track and I was re-assured that I would get the help I required. However, I received a letter from the court threatening that a warrant for my arrest would be issued if I did not attend my hearing on account of a not-guilty plea! Further to that, Burton Copelands professionalism was dropped and no further help was given, it was apparent that I paid the money and that's all that mattered to them. In the end I received my legal assistance from a well established firm and got the outcome I desired. Be aware, if you are young and require legal motoring assistance I would advise you to look elsewhere. You don't get what you don't pay for.

  • nichi mullen

This was a motoring case, Dangerous Driving, absolutely amazing result once again, couldn't have got a better outcome. Highly recommend Burton and Copeland to anybody, absolute dedication and professionalism. I wasn't aware Burton and Copeland dealt with motoring offences so was change of solicitors after being let down by another solicitor in Magistrates who failed us, Damian Wall took on the case with just weeks to prepare for Crown court hearing, very thorough and had the case prepared with no avenues unturned. Damian Wall was our solicitor and Claire was our Barrister in Crown court. we used Damian in 1999 in a case and he was amazing then, Outcome, NFA. would recommend Burton and Copeland to anybody needing a solicitor. we got the least we could get and was amazed at only a 12 month ban and tag. This was a serious case. Thank you, yous really are amazing at what you do.

  • Tareq Chowdhury

Mr Lewis came like an angel at my worst times. I'd 2 cases where Mr Lewis was helping me. 1st case was dropped at the initial stage (i wasn't the driver). 2nd one was dismissed after the hearing. I'll remember his help for a long time. Very professional. His words will put you at ease from the very first conversation you'll have with him. His secretary Lisa is another person I will always admire. Very hard working, often working very late. They will reply to any queries you'll have in timely manner. Mr Nick was another man at the firm, very helpful. Both Mr Lewis and Mr Nick both are true gentlemen. I'll recommend them to all my colleagues at my taxi farm when they are in need. Mr Lewis, Don't wanna be in a position where I'll need you again, but if I do, I'll sprint back to you without hesitation . Again, A big THANKS from me for your help .

  • Julie Acton

We used Gwyn Lewis to represent our Son in Court for an alleged speeding offence which would have lost him his licence. His advice and expertise came highly recommended , and his representation was first class in every way resulting in the case dismissed from Court . This was down to Gwyn’s expertise and skills . It was clear the Magistrate and Crown Prosecution had a lot of respect for Gwyn’s expertise and professionalism. Adding to this - Gwyn has a great personality to help you feel at ease, and allow him to lead the process of representation.He goes out of his way to ensure you are kept updated and reassured at every step of the way . Important to mention too is Lisa Nevitt who was excellent in keeping us up to date with correspondence at all stages , friendly and very supportive. Thank you Gwyn and Lisa

  • Lofty

Edit: It has been brought to my attention that the number of people who feel that they have been grossly mistreated by this company is a growing number. If anyone has ANY complaint against this company, please share it here. Protecting and hiding police misconduct is a common theme I am hearing about them. Advised me to plead guilty to something I didn't do. Burton Copeland had to withdraw from representing me due to 'professional embarassment.' Wasted 1 year of my time by ignoring everything I told them and ignored all my requests for evidence that cleared my name. I cannot stress enough how much damage this caused me personally. If you are falsely accused of something and your case is complex, please DO NOT use Burton Copeland. For Burton Copeland, my name is Paul Lofthouse. I

  • MARK JOHNSON

I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone requiring legal representation. I was fortunate to have Mr Daniel weed as my solicitor and I found him to be friendly, patient, knowledgeable and professional at all times. He always got back to me quickly , to keep me updated, answer any queries or simply to offer much needed reassurance during what has been a very frightening and stressful time in my life. My case was won as the prosecution offered no evidence however Dan ensured that my defense was well prepared and left no stone unturned. I also met with Nick Terry who was also very helpful, kind and professional. They also employed the services of an excellent barrister Ciaran Rankin who very knowledgeable, friendly and reassuring . I felt in safe hands throughout.

  • Norman Farouk

I was very impressed with dealing with Charlotte Ellis. Before speaking to her, I had spoken to a dozen lawyers and somehow the penny was not dropping in the sense that either there answers were vague or they were rushing through things. Upon speaking to Charlotte I immediately realised how thorough she was. She had lot of clarity in her expression which made me understand things almost instantly. She was very spot on, always available and holding your hand like a child and taking you through the complex legal jargon. For people who know me know that I am not a person who is impressed easily, but I was very happy with Charlotte and would highly recommend her to anyone. She is definitely an asset to Burton Copeland.

  • Daniel Dawson

From my initial Consultation phone call I felt like this was the solicitors for me. When meeting Gwyn Lewis in our first meeting I was made to feel extremely at ease. His advise and his outlook on my case was very genuine and I felt like he actually cared. I felt very confident Leading up to my court case I was in regular contact with Gywn Lewis and his team which I felt was great of service. We obviously won and might I add Gwyns final Closure on the case was like poetry . Thank you Gwyn Lewis and the team at Burton Copeland. I would Highly recommend this solicitors and even my friends and family who attended my case commented " if i was ever due to be in court", I would be asking for Gwyns Number. thanks again

  • s khan

I would like to leave a review for my solicitor Gwyn Lewis, Mr Lewis was professional kind and compassionate through out my case and kept me informed of everything through out the whole ordeal. Mr Lewis really helped to put me at ease and was so thorough, his wealth of experience in motoring matters is most definitely apparent and I would recommend him to anybody. Mr Lewis found a legal loophole which prevented me receiving points on my license today. I was acquitted of all charges despite driving over the speed limit. I would recommend him to anybody that may require an experienced, well spoken and extremely knowledgeable solicitor. I cannot recommend him enough, so thankful he was my solicitor today.

  • Brian Burns

I would just like to thank Yvonne and all of her team at Burton Copeland. From the moment we meet Yvonne and we explained our difficult case we knew instantly she was the instant choice, with detailed and careful selection of our barrister Katherine and the care, understanding and empathy for our Daughter we will be eternally grateful to both of them and the final outcome we achieved , They fully explained each situation and potential pitfalls for us to consider and kept us fully updated all the time Yvonne really did go that extra mile and support she has given to the family has been immense to say the least I would highly recommend Burton Copeland as your first choice when considering a solicitor.

  • Dave McDonald

My wife and I used Burton Copeland solicitors a few months ago. We had the pleasure of Gwyn Lewis and Jonathon Wall. Both exceptional men who know the in's and out of the job. We were blown away at court with the result, due to the exceptional knowledge of Mr McMahon who again was outstanding. I cannot thank you enough. My wife was quite low with the work situation and then the court appearance but after this she has a new lease of life and I do not really think you understand the impact your kindness, honest approach and availability to put her mind at rest has had on her life. thank you and best wishes for the future. I will of course not hesitate in forwarding your details to any needy colleague!

  • Megaret Tannett

Gwyn Lewis was an absolute god send helping me deal with my failure to furnish offence and speeding ticket that lost me my licence. He was kind and really listened to my situation. His advice was honest and accurate and because of his help I was able to achieve the best possible outcome for my case. I was refunded hundreds of pounds of fines and his advice allowed me to present my self in court in a way that allowed me to avoid the points that would have meant I lost my licence. His advice helped a lot so I could understand what I needed to do to fix things and I am very grateful for his help! I would highly recommend this firm and Gwyn to anybody who needs this kind of help. He was brilliant.

  • Tim Hotham

I have used the services of Burton Copeland (far too) many times. They were never judgemental, always on my side and won some seemingly unwinnable case. Gwyn Lewis became a mentor figure to me and with his help (along with others) I have not needed them for quite a few years. They have still taken calls and questions as they’ve arisen and stepped in on Monday to win again, this time for my sister. Susan Dooley put forward a case that had the judges change their minds and return my sisters license 5! years early. I can not recommend them highly enough. From Lisa in accounts to the Senior Partners, they are all approachable, pragmatic and magicians in court. I would never go anywhere else. Tim

  • S T

I was previously represented by another solicitors firm who provided me with poor advice and also told me to lie. I was then recommended Burton Copeland by a family member. From the very first phone call all the way through to the very end of the process, the professionalism and level of expertise was incredible. To say Matloob Ahmed knew his stuff would be an understatement. He was extremely thorough and helped ease my fears during my most difficult moments. The result was exactly what I wanted and I could not be happier. If you are in need of diligent, professional and expert solicitors, Burton Copeland should be your first call! Thanks to Matloob and the team, I would highly recommend!!

  • Paul Murphy

Burton Copeland are an excellent professional firm of solicitors that I highly recommend. The collectively knowledge and advice received from the firm throughout them acting for me has made a real difference to my circumstances. I feel they are happy to go above and beyond for their clients to ensure they deliver a high level of customer service. Specifically I have been represented by Charlotte Ellis and by Daniel Weed and I would recommend them each to anyone requiring the services of a solicitor. The professional yet personable approach is very welcome when discussing matters that can be considered delicate.

  • Russ Williams

Gwyn Lewis one of the team from Burton Copeland represented me in relation to an alleged offence of driving without due care and attention. Gwyn gave me sound advice and guided me through the whole process. I did not have to book any time off works Gwyn represented me and got the prosecution to review the original charge, as a result I received 4 points for speeding instead of the 9 points the prosecution wanted to give me and a considerably smaller fine. I hope I never need to employ a solicitor for this purpose again but if I do I will be calling Burton Copeland and will request Gwn's services.

  • Nicole Cunningham

My partner had a very serious driving case being dealt with. Gwyn Lewis was his barrister. From the first phone call to Gwyn, he was helpful and transparent, not at 1 point did he tell us just what we wanted to hear, no matter how disappointing. He got the best possible result we could of got. (The judge even told my partner to THANK him!) Once again I cannot thank him enough. We can now get on with life! Side note. I've dealt with Nick on a less serious case previously and the same thing, very professional. Got the job done. Not a bad word to say about the firm on a whole!!

  • family account

Many thanks to Yvonne Garside for representing our son. She was excellent at explaining our son's specific additional needs to the police and persuading them to adapt their normal procedure to accommodate what he could manage. On the day of the police interview, she showed a huge amount of patience, perseverance and endurance to achieve the signing of a prepared statement and to communicate regularly with the police officer, which led to a police caution at the police station. We are most grateful for Yvonne's empathy in a highly stressful situation.

  • rizwan ahmad

I found myself in a very awkward situation due to a mistake and misunderstanding about my car insurance, I was supported by Mr. Gwyn Lewis, I am happy I choose Burton Copeland,as I felt that Gwyn's assessment of my situation and likely out come was great as I wanted. Also he was focused on keeping on my legal cost to a minimum, as well as getting me the best possible result, which he achieved. I am very happy to recommend Gwyn Lewis and Burton Copeland, being very professional and compassionate Solicitors Firm. Highly Highly Highly Recommended

  • Scott Paul Hubbard

Great staff that give you the best information you need when you need it and will even tell you if you are going to do something that you really shouldn't do up until now I have been happy thanks Samantha and everyone else I would probably have been found guilty if I had gone to any other solicitor but I'm more than happy with the job they have done for myself and not that I am planning to get into trouble again but I will not use any other solicitor but them Thank you so much for your help and advice and support and I wish you all the best

  • Jonathan Young

Having found myself in an unexpected position (driving related) and having never had to deal with the law before, I am super grateful that I was referred by a friend to Burton Copeland and to Gwyn. After a weekend of googling terrible outcomes, it was very reassuring to speak to Gwyn who was very clear, understood my position very clearly, and provided real clarity as to my options. I felt I got top class advice, this is priceless, and as good a result as possible. Nick Terry, represented me in court, and did a cracking job. Thanks.

  • Rpvf fro.

Claire Tapper was incredible, her support, humour and no nonsense approach were exactly what I needed to get through a very dark time. Claire was always at the end of the phone whenever I needed advise. Together with her no nonsense approach and hilarious sense of humour, she pulled me through! Claire arranged for Barrister Rachel Shenton to represent me in court, Rachel was also amazing! Together they were a formidable team! Thank you so much ladies! I would highly recommend Burtoncopeland to represent anyone with legal dilemmas.

  • Ian Oogly

What can I say except a big thank you from all our family. Yvonne Garside and her team at Burton Copeland were exceptional and resulted in us having a 100% perfect verdict. I can't recommend her enough! Nothing was too much trouble, she was always there for us, easy to talk to, knew her 'stuff' and the attention to detail was second to none. Yvonne helped us out in our time of need and felt like she was part of the family by the end of our journey. I highly recommend Yvonne and her hard working team. Thank you once again Yvonne.

  • Spicey Fish

I am a Police Officer with nearly 20 years service who was involved in a serious RTC whilst on duty. Subsequent investigation involved the possibility of both criminal allegations and an internal disciplinary hearing. From start to finish I was dealt with in the most professional manner by Mr Lewis, far more than I would have expected. Both his legal knowledge and bed side manner were outstanding, and I would not hesitate in recommending this company to anyone in the future. Thank you for protecting my career and sanity.

  • M J

Do not trust this company. Edit for reply: Cannot go into more detail unfortunately, but here is a list of things to consider for improvement; Don't pass clients between 3+ different solicitors. Be respectful during correspondence, not rude and aggressive when people don't understand the procedure. Give an honest prediction for outcomes, and if you don't know, just say you don't know. Don't lie and low-ball the expectations. It was a genuine shambles dealing with this company, during an already difficult time in life.

  • M B

Gwyn Lewis was recommended to me to act for my son. His guidance, honesty & professional warm manner made a terrible situation for our family easier. Phone calls to Gwyn were always responded to even if just to say "I'm with a client, will call you back", which always happened. My thanks also to Lisa Nevitt for putting me at ease in the initial stages with her kindness, explanations and responding to my endless emails. Big thank you to you all, now that we have reached an outcome I thought would never happen.

  • Carl Hallbrook

I can only state how impressed I was with Burton Copeland, Celia Thorpe was the solicitor assigned to support me, she is knowledgeable and experienced in her field, her advice has always been exemplary, she goes the extra mile to support her clients. She looked at the possibilities of how she could support me rather than sticking to any limitations. I would highly recommend her and the company, and whilst I hope I don't need her support again, if I do Celia and Burton Copeland would be my first port of call.

  • Mark H

Without a doubt, Gwyn Lewis is your man, if you are looking to (g)win! He is an expert par excellence at the law, analytical and articulate 44and has a fantastic sixth sense to second guess the way the prosecution and the judge will think. This puts him ahead every single time. He will also not waste your money and will forgo the opportunity to earn a fee, if he believes it is not in your best interest. And if he's in court/ unavailable, you can rely on Lisa to liaise with him and keep you in the loop.

  • Bonnie Rowle

Matloob Ahmed was the Litigator that dealt with the case. I had such a positive experienced with him, he was always in communication with me and made me feel at ease. He is an extremely knowledgeable and professional in his dealings. The outcome of the case was the absolute best it could have been and after a long, stressful and scary 10 months I can finally put this horrible situation to bed and move forward. Thank you Matloob wishing you a happy and successful career at Burton Copeland. Best wishes

  • Tom Berry

I have just today finished by experience with Gwyn Lewis and could not be more pleased. From the very beginning he was extremely approachable and professional in the way he handled my case from start to finish. I've received the best outcome possible thanks to his expertise. I couldn't recommend Gwyn enough to anyone else looking for representation. Not just Gwyn, but the whole team at Burton Copeland were also fantastic in communicating with me and handling my case. I can't thank them enough!

  • Emma Walker

Gwyn Lewis is an extremely skilled solicitor, with the ability to listen, communicate and relate to others on a personal and professional basis. He was a calming influence on my mum on one of the most difficult days of her life. He is a genuinely kind man who cared enough to check on my mum after we had arrived home after the court hearing. We as a family are extremely grateful for all his hard work in ensuring that the sentence mum received was the most appropriate in the circumstances.

  • Krystian Bukowiak

Ms Samantha Corcoran was the solicitor that dealt with my case. I had such a positive experienced with her, she was always in communication with me and made me feel at ease. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional in her dealings. The outcome of my case was the absolute best it could have been and after a long, stressful 7 months I can finally move forward. Thank you Samantha for everything and I wish you a happy and successful career at Burton Copeland. Best wishes Krystian.

  • Jordan beak

Thank you to Gwyn at Burton Copeland after many attempts to deal with another company that continually let me down I contacted Burton Copland and spoke with Gwyn who took on my case. At all times Gwyn was professional, prompt and thorough with dealing with my case. A week before bail run out I received notification that there was no further actions after reviewing the evidence. I believe this is due to the police finally being pushed to Investigate properly by Gwyn. Thanks again.

  • K Hudson

I recently used Burton Copeland for an allegation against my son. This was an extremely upsetting and difficult time for us as family and we were fortunate enough to receive help and advice from Rob Moussalli. I cannot thank him enough for his support and professionalism throughout the time we needed assistance. There is not enough praise I can give him that would do justice to how much he helped us. You are an amazing solicitor Rob and a lovely man thank you again !

  • R M

Thank you to Burton Copeland, specifically Gwyn Lewis with the help of Lisa. Having previously dealt with a different solicitor, who let me down in several ways leaving me in a really difficult spot, Gwyn was more than happy, and capable of saving the day. Gwyn was always there to answer any questions we had and dealt with everything throughout with a touch of class. I would absolutely recommend Gwyn and am so grateful for what Burton Copeland have done for me.

  • Doonyia Ismail

Amazing, professional and great legal service provided from Burton Copeland in particular our solicitor Gwyn Lewis. Mr Lewis deserves all the praise- honest, friendly and worth every penny of his work. So much effort put into our case and every last detail is thought through. Staff very friendly and easy to communicate with. If you want the best legal service in Manchester then look no further, Mr Lewis & Burton Copeland will always have your back

  • N Ghosh

I would like to thank Burton Copeland, and Mr Gwyn Lewis in particular, for helping me defend myself in court with my speeding case. I was caught at 105mph on a 70mph motorway, but was spared a driving ban after Mr Lewis helped me to build my case for exceptional hardship. Without this, I would have likely have faced a ban of up to 6 months. A friendly and professional legal firm that I would highly recommend to anyone in need. Thanks again for your help.

  • Xavier Porta

I am writing a report about solicitor Charlotte Ellis. She has been my solicitor over the last year. I have found Charlotte very professional and effective while doing her work. She has been always helpful and her advice greatly valuable. I only have words of gratitude towards Charlotte Ellis. She has been very supportive during all the time I have needed her services. I would not hesitate to recommend Charlotte, to someone looking for a good solicitor.

  • Mohammed Habib

The service I received was excellent. I needed an appeal to be prepared at very short notice. Charlotte Ellis was extremely professional and knowledgeable. I want to thank her for all her hard work and for going well beyond her remit. She has been incredibly efficient and reliable and provided excellent value for money. Can Comfortably say I would not have had my appeal accepted without her efforts. It has been a pleasure to work with you.

  • Mahamud Arteh

I'm grateful for the help that I got from Yvonne Garside, a solicitor working at Burton Copeland. She provided me with good information, and helped me to get my point across to the courts and probation, which was too difficult for me to do on my own. Since she took over my case early this year, I have narrowly avoided being misrepresented in Court twice, which could have cost me my freedom. I wish her and Burton Copeland all the best!

  • Adil

Matloob Ahmed is the best Solicitor I have ever worked with. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand. He was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings & because of his excellence, we achieved the outcome we wanted If anyone is looking for an extremely knowledgeable Solicitor at a great price, then ask for Matloob! He is a credit to the firm.

  • Maureen Taylor

Louise Straw of Burton Copeland was brilliant at preparing the case and offering tremendous support to the family. She was confident with great knowledge and insight to the harrowing experiences of defendants and their families. Support and compassion helped with the whole process. Kim Holden is also highly experienced in her field - offering guidance through the minefield of litigation. Many many thanks.

  • Jade Kan

I have had an amazing experience with Burton & Copeland with special thanks to Matloob. He was extremely supportive, understanding & compassionate during my case, providing support even out of hours. Matt made a concerted effort to make sure I was at ease at all times & broke down every step of the case to me in a way that I could easily understand. He is an incredible solicitor & I would 100% recommend!

  • Joshua Luff

I would firstly like thank Gwyn and burton Copeland for my resent legal case. Gwyn was extremely supportive and professional through out my case he was very easy to talk to and was always at the end of a phone if I needed to ask any questions. Which the made a very stressful time seem a lot easier. I hope I don’t need him again but if I did I wouldn’t hesitate ! Thank you so much for all you have done

  • Toby Harrison

This review is from Jan Leake but I am sure Toby Harrison would endorse everything I say. Living abroad I have worked with this firm via email and telephone. Nonetheless I have felt totally supported throughout a very difficult year. My solicitor, Louise Straw, has always been there for me immediately, when needing reassurance or advice. I cannot thank her enough for her sound council at all times.

  • michael frost

I was fortunate enough to be represented by Gwyn Lewis in Bristol recently. I am in no doubt that i would not be Driving today (24/05/22) if it was not for his encyclopedic legal knowledge, and courtroom presence. hopefully i wont need him again!, but would recommend him and his firm to anyone who requires expert legal counsel. Thank you Gwyn, you are a Gentleman of the "old School" Mike Frost.

  • Andrew Sherlock

I cannot recommend these guys enough. I can't thank Hannah enough, After going through one of the scariest and most stressful times of my life she was there whenever I had a question, kept me updated me on everything, and I never felt forgotten.

  • Duncan Seddon

The service that I received from Burton Copeland LLP was excellent. It was a difficult time for our family although the appointed solicitor, Damian Wall, really did help diminish the pressures that come with such a traumatic life event. He along with the recommended barrister offered excellent support professionally and emotionally and I would highly recommend this company to you.

  • Matt Fleming

Gwyn Lewis represented me in a very complex and distressing case and I cannot rate his compassion, professionalism and the quite spectacular knowledge he holds any higher. His colleagues also demonstrated equal professionalism at all levels throughout the organisation. In addition to Gywn I'd like to say thanks to Louise Straw, Elizabeth Ridgway & Lisa Nevitt. Highly recommended.

Gwyn Lewis represented us and he got a quite amazing result given the circumstances. The ban range was 18 to 24 months and he got it down to 16 months. The fine was a fraction of what would usually be levied and even the court costs were lower than would usually be expected. A fantastic result. It was a pleasure to deal with Burton Copeland. Gwyn is very impressive!!

Highly reputable firm lives up to its reputation. Thank you

  • Dean Holmes

I went to Gwyn Burton’s solicitor, after bad experience with a previous solicitor. Gwyn took control of the case, their fees were half of the previous Solictor and the end result was all charges were dropped against me. I couldn’t of been happier and I would highly recommend them. Charge was failing to give breath specimen at police station. Fantastic firm.

  • Arthy Rich

I was fortunate to have Callum McNulty as my solicitor and I can't say 'Thank You' enough for how well he represented me as a client. From the very start, he was easy to talk to and also a great listener too. You know? having him close to me was like having a guardian angel. I highly recommend his services. He's a great guy! Great company. Amazing people.

  • Geraint Jones

I can't recommend Burton Copeland LLP enough. My driving court case had been adjourned many times in the last 2 years, but Gwyn Lewis and his team kept me updated and informed all the way through this and forever the professional.

Gwyn Lewis is seriously good at what he does, achieved a just outcome for me and I have no reservation recommending him to others facing similar cases. I cannot express my gratitude enough.

  • The WrongFuelMan

My extended thanks got out to Gwyn and his team for advising and aiding me through a difficult and complex motoring issue over the last 9 months. The process wasn't enjoyable or easy to live with but the result of the hearing was favourably the right one. Sincere thanks for your services and professionalism. All the best WrongFuelMan

Louise dealt with a case for my partner and I. She could not have been more supportive and reassuring throughout the entire process. During an incredibly stressful time in our lives, she really took care of us. We will never forget the care provided and the excellent service of overall company to pass us over to her care. Thank you.

  • Maria Barrett

Our Burton Copeland solicitor Suzanne Dooley was an excellent advocate. She was clear and insightful, keeping us abreast of proceedings and answering our questions as they arose.

  • Wale Akinlua

I had my case handled by one of the solicitors in the firm Charlotte, who was very professional and took her time to get the entire details of my story and back and forth to review if she got the story right. I was very impressed with the attention to details paid to the case. she was brilliant with me. thumbs up

  • Shirley Donaldson

I can’t recommend Jonathan Wall, the solicitor involved in my son’s case enough.

I can thankfully say that we had a positive outcome due to Jonathan’s expertise.

Always very easily accessible and responsive, even after hours. Completely committed to the cause, would highly recommend.

Burton Copeland saw me through a case recently with absolute ease. Before taking to them I was nervous and un-able to make any ground on my own. After just one call I was put at ease, not only by their evident competence but also by their genuinely personal and friendly approach. Thanks a million.

  • Danielle Eccles

Kirsty was excellent in my case. Not only was she empathic and considerate she was professional at all times. I came out with the best outcome possible (believe me) and she was undoubtedly a crucial part of the defence. I would 100% reccomend Kirsty. Thank you so much

Don't want to do the work. Tried to make clients do their work. Rude and fake reviews below. More will come to light with these paid for reviews. Louise is a disgrace to the industry which is already underfunded and under performing because of people like her.

  • Vicky Manning

We can not thank Rob Moussalli enough for all his help and advice. Very professional and realistic. Made me feel very comfortable, easy to approach and talk to. A great asset to the company who works around the clock. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. x
