Used the firm after I was let down by my previous solicitors. At short notice they represented me and advised me to go guilty early on which meant I avoided going to prison. Very professional friendly staff who always returned my calls and kept me upto date with my case.

I can’t express my thanks and gratitude in words for everyone at Alexander Cousins who secured my acquittal. The judge prosecution and police did not succeed as their lies were exposed during trial. The solicitors did everything and left no stone unturned. They even travelled abroad to take statement's and financial documents which proved my case. I will always be indebted to Alexander Cousins.

This firm helped me through the most difficult time in my life. They helped me secure my reputation and liberty. I can recommend Rumana Burhan and Sarah Meechan who both prepared my case meticulously and believed in my innocence. If you need a hard working honest solicitors then look no further and use this firm.

Thought I would never use a criminal defence solicitor in my life and after hearing so many stories about how they treat you I was very sceptical and nervous. Mr Shaid Iqbal was recommended to me by a relative. He was very professional courteous and polite. He did the job for me at the police station and went out of his way to get my belongings and motor vehicle released. I would recommend Alexander Cousins to anyone who needs criminal litigation advice.

I used the firm after recommendation from a relative. I have to say the firm helped me in giving the right advice early on. I received full credit for my early guilty plea and this saved me from ending up in prison. The barrister was really good he fought for me in court unlike so many others I had used in the past who were only interested in earning money from my case. I wont be using anyone else in the future!

I had dealings with Shaid Iqbal from this firm who represented me recently on a mortgage fraud case. I have never written reviews for any business before, but I felt I should recommend him to others, who find themselves entangled into similar situation. He really prepared my case immaculately, his instruction of a mortgage expert and experienced barrister meant I was finally acquitted by a jury, the nightmare of 4 years has finally ended. I have no hesitation in recommending this firm.
