Testimonials

“Stephen was invaluable in helping me through a difficult time. After my hackney taxi license was revoked by the council following a police allegation, I did not know what to do as I suddenly become unemployed. I also did not know how to appeal the council’s decision. A friend of mine recommended Stephen to me. Stephen explained the appealing process and made it so easy. He answered all my questions and responded promptly to my text messages and emails.

“I would like to take the opportunity to thank all ‘Kings View Chambers’ team for supporting me throughout my NMC registration. I would like to say that Barrister Catherine Stock has been a huge support, efficient and remained professional at all times. Catherine has illustrated that she is extremely experienced and knowledgeable within her field, she is empathetic and understand her client. I would recommend Catherine and her team to friends, family and nursing colleagues.”

“Ms Stock from Kings View Chambers provided a very professional service all the way through the preparation of my case and during the tribunal, with a lot of dedication and has also been thorough. She understood well what my expectations were and at the same time was honest with realistic goals. I think we prepared our case well and her performance at the tribunal was very professional and strong. Highly recommended.”
