Feedback

I just wanted to let you know how the Barrister (Steven Langton) was. He called me on Sunday night and spent a good 3 hours advising me how court would be and then going through my case notes. This was invaluable time and very well spent. He was brilliant on the day really calming presence.

I had the pleasure of having Mr. Steven Langton represent me in court. He made the effort of calling me the night before the hearing. I had originally missed his call and despite me returning his call at a late hour, he spoke to me at length without any rush to help clarify all my questions. He was extremely professional and his manner of speaking was crystal clear with beautiful simplicity. During the hearing I was so impressed with Mr Langton's cross examination and felt extremely privileged that he was representing me. He then took the extra effort to call me back after the hearing to ensure I understood what had unfolded. If I ever had to recommend a barrister I would have the utmost confidence in recommending Mr. Langton. I felt that he outlined the case in a superb manner getting me a favourable outcome. However, it was the fact that he listened to me, acknowledged my opinions and voiced them clearly on my behalf that has allowed me to gain closure with regards to the incident I faced.

Steven was brilliant in how he conducted himself from the first time we spoke the evening prior to the hearing. He was very courteous, and made sure to make as much time for myself as possible, even out of typical working hours. He explained everything clearly and ran through possibilities - as he called it ‘giving me some homework’ for the evening before, which proved very helpful in the hearing itself. During the hearing he appeared much stronger than the opponents council, yet was incredibly confident and composed. The hearing came to 7 hours in total, and it was a tough battle. The opponents made some seemingly convincing arguments, so to ever still highlight how good of a job Steven did. I owe a lot to Steven and his expertise. He helped me finally bring a 2 year battle to justice, and for that i couldn’t recommend him enough.
