“I thought my career was over but Marie, Victoria and Wendy turned it all around and managed to resolve the issue. Thank you so much for everything you've done. You will never be forgotten.”
“A few months ago I found myself in the rather unenviable position of facing very serious charges, being due in Court the next day, and having no response whatsoever from the solicitor who was supposed to be dealing with the case.
In some desperation, I tried to find alternative representation. As soon as I spoke with Richard Etherington I felt the first hope for some while. He was energised and committed, promising me that the case would have his full attention, and he would actually be available whenever I needed to contact him.
The case was pushed back for a few weeks on the request of local barrister he worked with the next morning - again, at extremely short notice.
He acted fast and decisively. This was not an easy case at all, and Richard is quite uncompromising - no soft reassurances or laid back attitude here. He took it very seriously, and made jolly sure I took it seriously too - leaving no doubt about the requirements that were on me in order to avoid jail. There was a lot of work on all sides and very little time.
Richard was good to his word - giving the case all the intense attention it required, and he was indeed available whenever I needed him. He was kind enough to speak to my partner too, and never gave the impression he wanted to rush off a call, or to terminate a conversation until I confirmed that he had indeed answered all my questions for the moment, on every occasion.
He recommended a barrister who turned out to be excellent, and the case was well prepared, sincerely argued and cleverly made. The outcome was favourable, and I am exceedingly thankful to Richard Etherington and his team, and the barrister who actually represented me at Court.”
“In October 2019 I was arrested for the possession of an indecent image, and three extreme pornographic images exchanged by others in a two “lads” WhatsApp group (one if 15, and the other with 65 members). After initially receiving bad advice from a duty solicitor. We contacted Richard Nelson LLP where Mr Richard Etherington was assigned to the case.
From the outset, Richard was extremely helpful, supportive and acted in my best interests. He acted quickly by preparing statements to provide to the CPS, and made representations at every possible stage. Upon being re-interviewed, having Richard as my counsel was a great relief, and really supportive.
Throughout the whole process, Richard went above and beyond to support me through such difficult times. He had no hesitation in taking my calls, responding to my emails at any time of the day. Richard extended his support to my Mother, which was of great value and comfort to myself and family.
Quite simply put, I do not believe that I would be here today if it wasn’t for Richard’s support. During the last 9 months I have struggled with my mental health, and being able to talk to Richard about fears, concerns and outcomes really helped me get through the dark times. Having his belief in me was a great comfort. Richard did everything in his power to help.
Richard is an incredible asset to Richard Nelson LLP, and any clients who Richard represent are incredibly lucky to have him. I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Mr Richard Etherington for all his support.”
“Richard Etherington could not have been more helpful and explained everything in an easy to understand manner. He acquired me the outcome that he felt would be appropriate and has explained everything about my case simply and professionally.”
“Excellent service from Jacqui Nelson and Richard Etherington. Knowledgeable and supportive throughout an 18 month process, listening to our questions and really working hard on getting the best result. This included reaching out to other specialist legal providers where they needed help in some detail.”
“At a time I was feeling isolated from my normal life for the first time in my life I was in an alien world. The criminal world. I felt awful and had to deal with this alone. But after speaking to Richard Etherington and agreeing to support me. I had the support and friendly voice I needed to get me through this legal battle. He has been fabulous from the outset.”
