I would just like to thank you again for all your support, care and your time. Without you I feel like I wouldn't be sitting at home now, I would be behind a prison wall. I can't thank you enough, you were truly amazing and kept me at ease and relaxed when some bits were really hard. I just wanted to thank you again for everything.

Thanks, you were amazing today!

I would like to just thank you for the help and support you have given ​*** during her time in the legal system. I feel that yesterday's outcome was most definitely on the better side of what it could have been, and that is most definitely down to you. Thank you once again.

I worked for Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Essex Police Forces and at the Magistrates and Crown Courts as a freelance interpreter for over 10 years. It was always a pleasure to work with Vinod Jumnoodoo who was assigned to many cases I worked on. I worked with a number of solicitors and Vinod is one of the most professional and conscientious In my opinion. What differentiates him from other solicitors is he has an amazing ability to represent his clients with a high degree of integrity and professionalism. He gives each case his utmost attention.

Through out the whole proceedings Vinod was easy to talk to , kept me up to date with everything and was in general extremely helpful and understanding, at an upsetting emotional time. Vinod supported my son at prison and in court hearings , through to sentencing with dedication and sympathy of the situation for him due to his disabilty.

Vinod! I don't know where to start with this man! Personality, legal knowledge, pure presence.. spot on. It was my first time in a police station, situation aside, I was definitely graced when I had Vin!! He wasn't just a legal aide, he was my hand to hold. It's taken me ages to do this review! But yes, please make sure you have Vinod!!

Friendly and professional solicitor. Very efficient, with great legal knowledge. Sensible advice given when asked. If needed, would use again.

Excellent service - they know what is best for you and will fight your corner.

My first and hopefully last sleep ever in a jail! Unfairly and unexpectedly arrested at the end of night out . Obviously a worrisome and unfamiliar situation to find myself in. My solicitor Vinod was kind and understanding and clear with my options and what I should expect. He made me feel listened to and like my reasons for being there and choices I had made could be explained to the powers that be with his expert help.

Vinod is a really nice chap, put my mind at ease within the first few minutes of being my free duty solicitor. He was clear and meticulous on how he was going to play it in court. Thanks to Vinod I got the shortest/ lowest punishment possible for the crime I had committed, which meant I avoided going to prison. So thank you again Vinod, true life saver.

Top Class Solicitor
Chris gave incredibly professional advice which I followed and now no further action was taken. Without his advice I don’t think this would have been the case. Hats off to Chris.

A Standout Guy
For a short period in my life I had multiple cases running simultaneously. Different firms and whole lot of alternating people. Vinod at Smart Criminial Defence is a stand out guy for the following reasons: Takes notes, Remembers your version of events down to a tee and relays it back to you, no amount of training can buy this skill, Gives great advice and explains everything well, Comes across as a gentleman and has a certain charisma about that even the opposition listen and show respect. He knows the law and didn't duck my calls when I needed him. Thank you.

Vinod is a fantastic lawyer. He really cares about his clients. Professional at all times. He supports you and makes you feel like human who made an error in judgement rather than a criminal. Would never use anyone else. The best law firm in my opinion

Chris represented me as the duty solicitor when I was arrested for a minor offence. He explained things clearly and was helpful every step of the way in guiding me through the nightmare that being taken into police custody is. He made me feel much more confident about the police interview. Eventually I was released without charge and I am grateful to Chris and Smart Criminal Defence for all their assistance. Unlike some solicitors Chris does not talk down to you and is a really friendly and professional solicitor.

I’ll definitely be contacting again if anything ever comes up in the future! Straight forward and really helped get me the help I needed. Many thanks, always.
