Rachel Robson and Dimitri stand out for their criminal defence work and emotional support during family disputes; major charges dropped, clients kept out of jail, and long-term matters resolved favourably are common positives. The firm's strength lies in its named lawyers, quick turnarounds, and genuine check-ins, though a minority report serious failures in complex conveyancing and parenting access cases where communication broke down and fees continued without progress.
