if i could give Chantelle a mark out of 10 it would be a 1000.from the moment she took on my case she jumped straight in and kept me in the loop the whole way.she is very understanding is very professional goes after your best interests and came up gold for me i would recommend Chantelle to anyone cant thank you enough absolutely wonderful person and company to have on your side wish you all the best.

Chantelle stocks is absolutely amazing. She took our case on and within a week she had results. I carnt recommend this company enough Chantelle kept us in the loop every step of the way .She is a very talented at caring person .Thank you so much Chantelle you are a Angel .

Andrew Brumhill was excellent from start to conclusion. I felt that he was constantly giving me the best advice Also his help with understanding the offences and court procedures was invaluable.

Most lawyers I spoke to kept calling, flaunted pipe dreams and played on my fears, manufacturing farcical scenarios to keep me dependent. Chantelle did none of that. She told me straight away that cases like mine rarely end well. Not something anyone would want to hear. But that unvarnished honesty, paired with what I can only describe as genuine compassion, made me entrust her my case. In time, I would come to realise how painfully accurate Chantelle had been.

What becomes clear - painfully, over time - is that the modern legal system is not always designed to find truth; it is designed to process cases quickly and to maintain face, prioritising efficiency and optics over truth. It is a rigid machine where preconceived narratives often outpace nuance and evidence that should carry immense weight can be overshadowed by bureaucratic indifference. When you sit in a courtroom and watch this dynamic unfold in real time, what you once would have dismissed as fiction becomes your very own, heart-wrenching reality.

Chantelle understood this landscape. In the courtroom, she was composed and quietly strategic. When it became evident that the room was operating under a rigid, unyielding narrative, she read the environment without hesitation and adapted. It was not out of timidity but out of the kind of calculated judgment that comes from truly knowing how these institutions work. She knew that pushing harder would have exacerbated my sentence.

At my lowest point, when the sheer weight of the process felt completely overwhelming and my trauma came to be dismissed as an inconvenience in someone else's narrative - I broke down, Chantelle looked over at me, closed her eyes, and gave a slow nod - the kind a mother gives when she wants you to know she understands without saying a word. That quiet validation cut through the dehumanisation and carried me through the rest of it.

The legal process can feel incredibly indifferent and unjust at every single turn. Chantelle couldn't single-handedly dismantle a massive system and she would never insult you by pretending otherwise. But she fought for me within its constraints and never stopped seeing me as a human being rather than a case number.

The reality is that some outcomes are determined before you even walk through the door. If that is the hand you've been dealt, you would far rather have Chantelle beside you than someone who depletes your savings on false promises and leaves you blindsided. And if your circumstances are more favourable, as the weight of reviews here suggests, you will be in exceptionally good hands by hiring Chantelle.

Andrew was responsive, honest, even at an expense to himself, he gives the right information for you not in the interests of his company. A pleasure to have used the company and if needed this will be my go to solicitor.

Many thanks 👍

Hi I had Andrew Brumhill stand in last minute for me for a court case in York, I had to fly from Belfast to make it and he made everything workout the best, would highly recommend him. He was professional from start to finish 10/10

Excellent experience with this firm. Hayley and edita were kind, caring and empathetic. They worked tirelessly and dilegently, and got me trial ready in just 4 days. They looked at anything i sent them for my case no matter what it was. They never made me feel judged or like a bad person like my previous barrister did. They even got a charge dropped in 1 day of taking over my case. They were understanding of my mental illness, and treated me like a human-being, who deserved to be proven innocent unlike the previous barrister. Because of my previous counsel's lack of care and not following up my defense statement, due to cps not responding to it, edita was able to secure an acquital. The amazing work they put in, in such a short time helped too. I will be forever grateful to this firm, they saved my reputation. But more importantly, they saved my life.

From the moment she took on our case, Chantelle was professional, thorough, and genuinely invested in getting the right outcome. She communicated with us throughout, never leaving us in the dark, and always took the time to explain things clearly so we actually understood where we stood.
She worked incredibly hard, left no stone unturned, and ultimately got the case dropped.
What sets her apart isn't just her legal knowledge (which is exceptional) but the way she handles her clients. She's caring, she listens, and she makes you feel like you're in safe hands during what is a really stressful time.
Choosing Chantelle was without doubt the best decision we made. I'd recommend her to anyone facing a criminal defence matter, without hesitation.

Your member of staff was helpful diligent , but unfortunately unable to be of assistance. As the court had made many errors, but justice was out my price range

Being new to having to employ a solicitor I was like a fish out of water.
Hayley Pearson made me feel relaxed immediately, she is attentive, compassionate, friendly, knowledgeable and most of all a down to earth human being.
Hayley went above and beyond for me, if I was ever in trouble again (I don't intend to be), then I would have no hesitation in employing her again.
She is genuinely a superstar and I hope our relationship continues even now the issues I had are resolved and consigned to history. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY.

I can’t recommend Adley Gray - particularly Hayley - enough. From the arrest to the sentencing, they were on top of everything, kept us reassured. Any uncertainty on our part was met with clarity, confidence and dedication on their side.
Ultimately we were aiming for a suspended sentence, which was achieved due to the work put in by the team at Adley Gray.
Excellent service!

I reached out to Chantelle Stocks while my brother was in custody, and from the very beginning she was incredibly supportive, professional, and reassuring. She stayed consistent throughout the entire process, kept us updated, and genuinely fought to get the best possible outcome for him.

What stood out the most was her honesty and dedication, she never gave false hope, always explained everything clearly, and truly cared about helping us. During such a stressful time, having someone reliable and understanding made all the difference.

I can honestly say Chantelle is one of the best solicitors out there, and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing legal support. Thank you again for everything you did for my brother and our family.

If I could give a 10 star review, I would! Outstanding firm, with a great team! A particular note for Hayley Pearson, who has been a vital support in our case. Her attention to details, knowledge and genuine care is unparalleled! I am forever grateful to Mrs Pearson and Adley Gray for the excellent level exertise, and care!

Andrew Brumhill was impeccable from start to finish, he has a high standard of professionalism and knowledge, coupled with empathy and kindness…from our first conversation to the last, I knew I was in the best of hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to instruct him again and highly recommend.

Hayley Pearson

Incredible! From her exemplary professionalism, maintaining high standards throughout the process to her kindness and compassion, which was much needed never having found ourselves in a position like this before.

Hayley held our hands throughout the process with her expert guidance reassuring us each step of the way, putting us at ease and keeping us calm in what was a very stressful situation.

Hayley has an impressive depth and breadth of knowledge that resulted in a very favourable outcome for us.

We cannot recommend Hayley highly enough and as an added bonus she is genuinely one of the nicest people you could meet.

Hayley Pearson acted as my solicitor and I cannot praise her higher or recommend her enough. Throughout my case, Hayley kept me informed (and saved my sanity), was attentive to the case and was utterly professional. I would recommend Hayley if you have legal issues as she is incredibly savvy and very good at what she does. Heaven forbid, I need this sort of representation again, but Hayley would be my go to.

I was recommended Adley Gray through a friend. I found them most informative and they were very interested in helping me overcome a complex issue. I was very pleased that I was treated as a person rather than just a job. I'll be using this firm again if required and would highly recommend them to anyone else.

I decided to work with Adley Gray after contacting several other tier 1 firms, spending 10 minutes to discuss my case before brishing me off and it was one of the best decisions ever made.

I was sadly arrested and accused for a number of false allegations which resulted in my whole world being ripped apart, I felt hopeless, lost, confused and was in a very dark and emotional place, however after sending an e-mail to Adley Gray one evening the very next morning before business hours commenced I was contacted and greeted by a lovely individual called Hayley Pearson.

Hayley is the true definition of professionalism, she has a warm and welcoming tone, friendly, confident and quite frankly is the type of Solicitor you would want in your corner to defend you to the high standards as she knows her chosen field inside out, listens deeply to your concerns and because of this I do believe that there are a lot of Solicitors out there who should use Hayley as an example.

Another unique point is that Hayley is also an advocate for Mental health, having been a victim of the justice system anyone would know that being arrested is horrible and the impact it can have, sadly a lot of organisations do not take Mental Health seriously nor do I believe the Legal system does sometimes but Hayley really helps and fights for those who are suffering and really does help and knows rather than just saying the things we all like to hear when we are experiencing difficulties.

Hayley went above and beyond for me, she took the time out to even answer e-mails and calls even during "out of office" hours, provided me with the reassurance and despite myself being in a really dark and emotional place Hayley was the reason I held on to the 4 letter word of HOPE.

I honestly cannot thank Hayley eneough for her commitment, dedication, professionalism and her natural ability to take ownership and help others, it is refreshing to hear that there are still good people in this world, ones that care and because of Hayley I am able to start taking control of my life again after experiencing a horrific moment in my life.

If ANYONE is looking for legal support or advice regardless of how big or small I strongly strongly recommend Hayley Pearson and Adley Gray as Hayley is a very rare person to find in this life who based on my experience with her she will do everything to fight to balance the scales, have your voice heard and to highlight the importance that at the end of the day there is ALWAYS two sides to a story.

Thank you Hayley and the team at Adley Gray, I will miss our e-mail exchanges but thank you for literally saving my life.

We are incredibly grateful for the support and dedication shown by Andrew throughout my husband’s case. It was a very stressful and emotional time for our family, but from the very beginning, he made us feel reassured and supported.

Andrew was always professional, patient, and easy to communicate with, taking the time to explain everything clearly and keep us updated at every stage. No question ever felt like too much, and his calm and confident approach really helped ease our worries.

What stood out the most was Andrew’s genuine care and commitment. You could tell he truly wanted the best outcome for us, and he worked tirelessly to achieve it.
