It’s very Hollywood to say but I really was at the end of my tether and didn’t no where to turn after buying a used car that failed after 10 days of owning it. I went on google, typed in ‘used car solicitor’ and Stormcatcher was the first one to come up. Phill and Antonia have been absolutely brilliant in helping my navigate the red tape and get things on the right track. From the very fibre of my being, thank you.

Run into this guy a few years ago, defending a car dealer using a false name, etc. Tried using back street garages he also represented to get court inspections carried out. Not surprised he was trying to create fake reviews, he deleted his previous Bark reviews as they were so bad. Now he's back on Bark with only good ones!!!

DANGER: This firm is not a larger firm of lawyers as it pretends to be. Its director just pled guilty to charges of misconduct and has been publicly named & shamed by the Bar Standards Board here: as well as the Law Gazette reporting all disgraced barristers here:

Excellent advice, very reassuring. I used the free advice and sorted my problem. They weren’t at all pushy even though they made no money from the advice. I would use them in the event of further issues. Excellent attitude and service. Phil Oates

I was really disappointed, because I sent an email to the address advertised on their website and my problem was time sensitive. I gave plenty of detail as to my issue, and fter over 3 weeks I received no response at all
