Fabulous service from Kings View…

Fabulous service from Kings View Chambers and Catherine Stock. Absolutely amazing service, such attention to detail and compassion was received. I felt supported round the clock, reassured throughout and always put in the picture. Catherine works with passion, diligence and dedication. I felt in good hands. Although I pray I never need to use them again, it has been my honour to come across such a wonderful team of passionate professionals. Thank you for being there when people had given up on me. LJ

Excellent, thank you.

Both Stephen and Catherine from the outset have been approachable, knowledgable and are without question extremely competent professionals and experts in their field.
They were very clear about my legal position, gave me reasonable expectations and discussed with me in depth about their plans with the likely process, managing my case and possible outcomes very thoroughly.
Following my first conference with Stephen and Catherine, I felt supported and very safe in their capable hands which is exactly what you want and need when you are going through a difficult time.
I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of my case and I am really pleased and am very grateful to Stephen and Catherine for all their help and support.
I couldn’t recommend Kings View Chambers enough for anyone who finds themselves in a position where you may require legal support with regards to your professional registration. Thank you so much, LC

Full lisence to practise granted

I had very serious problems with the GMC and lost all hope after three refusals for full lisence to practise. My fitness to practise was impaired and I kept receiving refusals that my insight was superficial and have not fully remediated upon my act. I lost all hope and went into severe depression because I thought I would never be able to meet the insight and remediation that was required from me till I was introduced to Catherine Stock from kingsview chambers. She guided me thoroughly on how to write a solid statement that embraced insight and remediation which I presented to the GMC. She painstakingly reviewed all my character references and today I successfully gained full lisence to practise in the UK. I would recommend her services to any Dr with fitness to practise issues and also facing difficulties in getting GMC registration

Kings View Chambers AS

Kings View Chambers, and their lawyers Ms Stock and Mr McCaffrey, were simply excellent.
From start to finish, they showed compassion, empathy and extremely professional diligence in my case. They were meticulous and extremely well prepared. This shone through when we received the verdict better than we were had even hoped for.
I cannot commend their service enough.
Thanks for everything.

Kings View Chambers and Catherine Stock…

Kings View Chambers and Catherine Stock were amazing - having never dealt with solicitors before we were at a complete loss as to how to proceed and finding representation was daunting. I did a lot of research before deciding on Kings View Chambers and I am very glad I chose them. Catherine was professional and very thorough throughout. She was also very caring and reassuring at a very difficult time. We were well prepared and every step was explained in detail. Catherine and Stephen are both very experienced in dealing with tribunals and work extremely hard for their clients.
In all honesty - I do not think we could have chosen anyone better she is the most professional yet caring person I have ever dealt with. I cannot thank her enough for what she has done, the result was more than we had hoped for and allows a wonderful young doctor to continue their career.

Thank you ever so much .NZ

Describing Stephen McCaffrey in one sentence would be difficult. He is a very altruistic and sympathetic man. He did nothing but ease me through my journey. His sense of humour never failed to put me at ease in the worst times of my life. He worked with precision, laser focus and accuracy beyond belief. His goal was to find my justice and he did exactly that. His efforts were presented effectively through his writing and his oral arguments. He carried himself in a self assured manner, and was able to use his emotions to display how he felt about the events occurring. His method of presenting was concise and valuable. His ability to provide emotional support was as quick as a blink of an eye. He went through extreme efforts to acknowledge my concerns and to provide solutions as soon as possible.

How was his role effective in my case, you ask? Well, I felt like I was walking through a raging fire, with my eyes closed and only his voice to guide me. In simpler terms, if it weren’t for him I wouldn’t have made it out of my hardships. He continually reminded me that I was not facing my issues alone and that my treatment was unfair and it would not last forever. Furthermore, I think I have found a Barrister who I could possibly depend on for life.

I would highly recommend him to anyone who is facing any sort of issue as he is truly the one who has given me my life back and make it a simple process to do so.

Excellent service and knowledge with Experience

Excellent service and knowledge with experience have made Kings view outstanding.I am a doctor and In my case the first point of interaction was the barrister Katherine stock.My case was very complicated with more than 10 allegations.it included dishonesty and probity along with a driving offence for which I was convicted by court.Although there were few my instructions, she made the case very sensibly; when I was expecting a suspension,my case ended with a warning only which saved my future.I am so happy.Keep it up.

Amazing.

Both Stephen and Catherine are excellent to work with.

They cover everything with the diligence that it takes to understand the case and come up with a strategy to win.

Extremely competent professionals but also very nice people which means working with them is very easy.

They put you at ease every step of the way and I would highly recommend them at any point.

A big thank you to them both!!

Fantastic Service

I can’t recommend Stephen McCaffrey highly enough
I very rarely give recommendations but I wanted to highlight Stephen McCaffrey, his team and the excellent work that I received.

As a client from the very start Stephen was an absolute professional, intuitive and diligent, he liaised with myself on numerous occasions regarding the case, the preparation prior to the hearing was meticulous and from what could’ve been an incredibly stressful and daunting time for myself it was a smooth and comfortable process.

Stephen not only managed the case at the hearing but also managed us as clients ensuring we knew exactly what processes were occurring, dealing with our anxiety and stress.

The outcome was fantastic and I put that down to Stephen and his skilled team.

Thankyou, and for any healthcare professional needing advise or assistance I can’t recommend him highly enough.

KIngsview Chambers won my TFL appeal

After being 'unfairly' rejected for a taxi licence from TFL I contacted Kings View Chambers for advice.

From the very first telephone conversation with Sarah Ryan I was immediately put at ease and was advised on my legal options and consequently appealed TFL's decision.

Kings View Chambers provided me with support, concise plans and very clear guidance throughout the whole process leading up to my court appeal date and hearing.

On my court appeal hearing barrister Ayanna Nelson represented me and done an absolutely brilliant job

Thanks to their help and team work I won my appeal in court and am now looking forward to starting my new job as a taxi driver in London. They saved my career!

I can't thank them for getting me the best result and I would recommend this firm to anyone.

These are amazingly helpful, and greatly knowledgeable barristers, and the people you want in your corner.

A Rare Quality of Support

Honesty. Integrity. Transparency and Partnership with you in a time of great need is what Kings View Chambers Catherine Stock & Steven McCaffery extended towards me as a professional nurse. My opinions were valued, my concerns were explored and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained in detail. Kings View Chambers, in short notice, went above and beyond to ensure the best of outcomes. I learnt how to respond rather than react. Their ability to understand my professional situation with limited time was exceptional and their response time was immediate. Their dedication to my case made me feel valued and gave me the confidence to stand for myself and uphold my integrity without any union support. It is my pleasure to recommend Steven McCaffery & Catherine Stock to Nursing Professionals in need of legal advice and support on duty when issues arise in clinical practice. Never hesitate on the name Kings View Chambers. You cannot put a price tag on this level of care and support for your professional integrity. Priceless! Gratitude is a Must. Thank you

Catherine Stock absolutely great!

I would just like to express my sincere thanks to Catherine Stock who was absolutely amazing on how she handled my NMC case for Restoration to Nursing. I was at a very low point regarding trying to return to my nursing career after some years of pretty much despairing Mrs Stock explained clearly what my options were and the best course of action to take. She handles my case with the utmost professionalism and I felt at ease all the way through the process.
I am most grateful for her help and support has made a massive difference to my future. Being able to resume my nursing career meant so much to me and this wouldn't of been possible without Mrs Stock!
I would recommend to anyone who maybe in a similar situation to contact Catherine Stock as you will not be disappointed with her honesty,openness & professionalism at all times. Thank You again. GG

Excellant Service

I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to Kings View Chambers for their excellent skills and efforts in making my case a success. From the initial telephone call with Sarah Ryan, I immediately felt at ease and knew that I had made the right choice in referring my case to them. Using a barrister was a first time experience for us and we very nervous. Sarah reassured us that we were in good hands and that we could now relax and let them take over. Stephen McCaffrey represented us in Court and without a shadow of a doubt was very logical and professional in the way he represented our case before the magistrates. Stephen knew how to utilise his legal background and present the case in the most efficient way to get the outcome that we desired. King View Chambers really do earn my greatest recommendations. Thank you Sarah and Stephen.

MR Stephen mccaffey and Sarah from the team has been very supportive and guiding to me during the process. They have made tfl grant me pco license and over turned tfl original decision of refusing me a license due to my dbs. They have kept me well informed and fully suopported me during the entire process. I would recommond this firm to anyone. These are the people you want in your corner.

Appeal against refusal of licence

So I contacted Mr Mcaffrey after a recommendation from a friend of mine . He was very knowledgable of TFL practices and after speaking to him regarding some background he advised me that I had a good chance of winning on appeal. I followed all the Instructions he gave me and he gathered all the documents and lodged the appeal . I left him to it but he regularly contacted me when there was new movement or he needed to clarify something . Unfortunately Mr Mcaffrey was unable to represent me on the day but informed me the day before and arranged a very experienced barrister to represent me instead . TFL had a very slick barrister representing them but I was very impressed with the representation I received and the strategy used to win my appeal ! We had very fair judges on the day and even if we had lost I would have been grateful to Mr Mcaffrey because I know he and the replacement barrister did the best they could . Anyhow we won and I am very grateful to Mr Mcaffrey and his team for a great result .

Pure fraud

KingsView Chambers headed by Stephen McCaffery is a misleading company. They are fraudulent and their sole intention is get the clients’ money and leave them dry with no help! They are deceitful and make false promises.
After paying their fees, I realised that they were never going to help me so ended up going with another barrister to fight my case. For your own sanity and if you want to win your case STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!

FAKE REVIEW - Sadly this is a malicious review using a false account and it has been reported. The gentleman, who has never been a client of ours, has been indulged by the County Court sitting at the High Court in London and, following an overwhelming ruling against him, proceeded to attempt to appeal on the grounds that the Judge must have been corrupt for not ruling in his favour. That Judge had found his allegations to be without any merit, his evidence to have been dishonest/false and found him to have impersonated someone else throughout. The Judge took the unusual step in small claims of ordering him to pay maximum costs to us. The Court ruled they would not entertain any further appeal, as did the appeal court, and thus the gentleman has resorted to actions of this type. Whilst we understand and indeed empathise with the difficulties this gentleman has, we would simply urge any interested party to consider the more pertinent reviews of our genuine clients both on Google and TrustPilot. Thank you.

Honeslty,If I could go lower than 1 star I would give -5 stars to Kingview Chambers.This company only reply on empty promises in order to take money out of you.I do not agree to any of these positive review here and I am sure all these feedback here in trustpilot are all fake.He made me believe him that he is genuine and honest with his fake promises and lies.Soon as I made the payment through bank transfer,He stop corresponding with me apart from one text message once in while.I tried to meet him to discuss the case but wasn't willing to meet me saying he is busy with other clients.At the end I realised he has done no work or whatsoever,his only purpose was to take my money and that is it.AS result ,i lost the case in the court because he had no preparation on hearing day.I strongly advice you guys to stay away from this company unless you are willing to put your money in waste.

be awere be aware of cheat and lies

be awere of this croks. fake reviews. i used the company for licensing reviews. stephne MaCaferry give me wrong advice and hope in order to use him. once i made the intail payment he ignored my calls and with just text messages he was telling he is busy working on my case and he will be fully papered for the hearing.now and again I was receiving text informing of completion of the preparation. he never done anything at all and on the hearing date he send somone else for 40% of the money I paid him and that barister had no idea about my case what so, ever.i lost my case due to lack of prapration. Stephen MaCcfey (kings view) is working from his home in Edinburgh and claim he is london based baristers firm however, both address is are only postal address to mislead the client. he takes job in London and sell your case for 40% of the money you paid him. he will send someone else day before the hearing with no knowlege about your case. becasue he knows you will never see him he will lie as much as makes you happy. in client care letter he state that in some cases he may not be availible but, he will send somone from his team, this is just so, he can cover his back. he also state in his term that face to face meeting cost extra this is only because he do not have office in any of the addresses he use in his letters. to mislead petentail client he use two addresses one is in central london and the second one Edenborough city centre which makes the client belive if the company can offord office in such expensive area they most be company with well reputation and good barrister. only team of two lier caterin and stephone MaCcferry. if you want to hear lie go for it.
