Andrew Brumhill - highly recommend

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

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

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.

Hayley Pearson

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.

Trusted advice when it mattered most! Andrew Brumhill

We have been with Andrew Brumhill as our family solicitor for many years, and we truly can’t recommend him enough.
Over the years, Andrew has always been professional, honest, and very supportive. He has a great way of explaining things clearly, which really helps during stressful times.

Recently, Andrew helped us with a Crown Court case, and his advice and support were excellent. He guided us through everything step by step, making sure we understood what was happening and what our options were. His calm and steady approach made a difficult situation much easier to deal with.
Thanks to Andrew’s experience and hard work, we got the best possible outcome, and we are very grateful for everything he has done for us.

He is not only a very knowledgeable solicitor but also someone who genuinely cares about his clients. We would highly recommend Andrew Brumhill to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy solicitor.

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.

Thanks to Andrew and his teams hard work and expertise, we got the result we were hoping for, and it has made such a positive difference to our lives.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing a trustworthy, dedicated, and compassionate solicitor. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for our family

Exceptional solicitor!

I’m really grateful for all the help Andrew gave me with my case. I hired him to deal with my exceptional circumstances case, which was quite complex, and he handled everything so well and made the whole process feel a lot less stressful.

What I appreciated the most was that he was always available whenever I needed to talk or had questions. He explained things clearly and made sure I understood everything.

You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients and wants the best outcome. I couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor. Thank you again, Andrew.

I have to say my experience with Andrew…

I have to say my experience with Andrew Brumhill was poor.I served 30yrs as Uniform Police Officer so am used to trials etc.Luckily I chose a top rated Barrister who I admire greatly and he conducted my case in Magistrates Court and I was found not guilty.It.was.glaringly obvious that the witnesses were lying and I was telling the truth.I was not confident for Mr Brumhill to handle my case and I fear the out come would have been different If he had.defended in Court.In the many months.he took over my case he never.called face to face meeting amd to this.day I have never met him face to face.I was awarded Court costs and he then in forms me his.firm would charge me as much as.I would obtain.Scandalous.They certainly have no problem racking up their bill.Under no circumstances.would I deal with Adley Grey again.

Hi All,

Hi All,

I want to leave an open and honest review. I reached out to several companies regarding a legal matter but the way this firm dealt with it, especially one lawyer in particular with the initials of AB for privacy reasons I wont share his entire name.

He was very informative, responsive and helpful. He helped me through the entire process whilst taking my mind of the issue at large.

The firm guided me at every step and brought a level of composure and professionalism that made the entire process seamless.

I couldn't recommend this firm enough in terms of the service, expertise and communication highly enough.

I will certainly be using them again for any future legal issues if any were to arise.

Yet again, thank you very much for the help you brought to only myself but my family aswell.

Thanks,

MB

Fantastic Service.

This was the first time that I have ever needed a solicitor, and I was looking around for the best law firm to represent me. I called Adley Gray and they were fantastic from the first minute.

Andrew Brumhill called me back within 20 minutes and gave me reassurance from moment one that I was in good hands.

As the process progressed, Andrew was constantly in touch, advising on my options and reassuring me that he would aim for the best outcome possible. Andrew went out of his way to ensure that I was kept in the loop and was honest in his appaisal of the situation. He was also very transparent up front with regards to costs and fee’s.

Andrew didn’t just sit back and wait for the court date, he was proactive in ensuring that when the day came, that I would be shown in the best light possible using his years of experience with these things. He also prepared me for court perfectly and represented me brilliantly on the day.

I doubt I’ll ever require a criminal defence solicitor again, but if I do, I’ll certainly make Adley Gray and in particular Andrew Brumhill my first call.

Fantastic experience!

Andrew Brumhill is the asset of this Law Firm.

I cannot recommend this law firm highly enough, and in particular Andrew Brumhill, who represented me during one of the most stressful periods of my life.

From the very beginning, Andrew acted with exceptional care, integrity, and professionalism. When I found myself being falsely accused, his first and foremost concern was not just the legal strategy, but calming me down and helping me regain clarity and confidence. He truly listened, showed genuine care, and made me feel heard at every step of the process.

What stood out most was how far he went beyond what was expected. Andrew took the time to speak with my family personally, reassuring them and giving them peace of mind that everything was going to be okay. That level of compassion and humanity is rare and meant more to us than words can express.

Andrew never sugar-coated the situation. Instead, he relied on his 25 years of experience across all areas of law, giving me honest, measured, and realistic advice throughout. His confidence was so grounded that he even made me a £1 bet that my case would be dropped before Christmas, and it was, five days before.

If you are looking for a solicitor who combines deep legal expertise with genuine empathy and integrity, Andrew Brumhill is exactly that. I will forever be grateful for his support and guidance.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience! Haley who personally handled my case was incredibly helpful, honest, and detailed every step of the way. From the moment I started, I felt welcomed and completely comfortable—never judged, just genuinely supported. She took the time to really listen and made sure I understood everything, which made a huge difference. Best of all, she actually helped me achieve my goal! I’m so grateful for her dedication and would 100% recommend.

Andrew was a very nice gentleman,we went through what we needed to before the interview he made me feel less nervous the only reason there isn't 5stars is because it's very expensive for a man who is on universal credit.
