False Allegations

When I got arrested over completely false accusations, I was desperate and started digging through every law firm I could find. I only looked at ones with almost zero negative reviews on TrustPilot, basically no criticisms. That’s how I came across SJB Legal.

The moment I saw the reviews on the TrustPilot page, I was blown away. It was nothing but 5-star reviews throughout. I remember thinking, “Who on earth is this Stephen Bunker guy?”

I reached out, had a consultation, and right away he told me it would be sorted. Honestly, it took about three weeks — maybe a little more— and that was it.

The outcome?. No Further Action.

No wonder, he is a Professor of NFA. The man really does seem to wave a magic wand. He doesn’t care what the disclosure says — he just gets it done.

I’d recommend SJB Legal and Stephen Bunker in a heartbeat. No hesitation whatsoever.

Outstanding service

I can honestly say that SKB Legal is absolutely outstanding with their service and achieving results. I would like to thank Stephen Bunker for being an excellent solicitor. And also would like to thank him for his excellent recommendation for my two barriers Denis Barry and Sasha Wass KC. I could not ask for a better team that got the results that was needed. I would definitely recommend them with 100% confidence. They are very responsive and supportive, I was always kept informed and was coached very well in parts that I did not understand. Thank you very much for all of your help and support

Excellent service

Stephen is a very kind, patient and knowledgeable solicitor. Even though I have mental health issues he thoroughly explained and took his time to reassure. A very professional approach.

Amazing service

We’ve been in contact with Stephen since early 2023, following some allegations and a voluntary interview. From the outset, we’ve been very impressed with his services. He consistently goes the extra mile and provides a level of support that is hard to find.

At the time, we were under a great deal of stress and reached out to several legal representatives. Stephen stood out immediately for his clear, straightforward explanations, calm manner, and practical approach to the case. He helped us understand that there was a plausible defence, even when things felt uncertain.

His service has been easy to work with — he’s been responsive, even during unsociable hours, and has kept in regular contact to provide updates and reassurance throughout. Although this case has been unusual and has lasted longer than expected, Stephen has remained steady and proactive in his efforts to see it through to resolution.

We’re very grateful for his support and diligence throughout this process. I would confidently recommend his services to anyone needing legal guidance during difficult times — he’s reliable, committed, and one of the best professionals we’ve worked with.

No further action

Mr Bunker came through for me last minute as I called him in the morning of my voluntary interview he talked me through the process and kept me very calm. After the interview Mr Bunker kept me updated at all times. No further action was declared and I’m happy that Mr Bunker was the man for the job

I cannot recommend Stephen Bunker highly enough. From the very beginning, he was professional, responsive, and genuinely supportive throughout a very difficult time. His expertise and calm, reassuring manner made a stressful situation far more manageable. He kept me fully informed at every stage of the process, explained everything clearly, and ensured that my rights were protected throughout.

Thanks to Stephen’s diligent work, my case was resolved with a No Further Action decision, and I always felt confident that I was in safe and capable hands. His dedication, attention to detail, and compassionate approach truly set him apart.

I contacted stephen in April 2024 after being arrested on multiple very severe allegations. He explained everything to me and took on my case. Over the course of the next year he kept me updated and thankfully it ended with a NFA result which is fantastic and I'm so relieved with. Thanks again for everything Stephen

Great Service

Stephen was fantastic throughout. I was wrongly accused and Stephen helped me through the entire ordeal, eventually resulting in a NFA. Stephen was available 24/7 and chased up loose ends for me. I would highly recommend Stephen for a thoroughly professional and personal service.

Outstanding service

Stephen goes beyond what was expected. He helped to quell all my stress and eloquently explained to me what was going to be done and what was already done, he was there 24/7 to aid with any query in which I had and got back to me as soon as he could. Even when I first sent in an online query regarding acquiring the firms services I got a call within 24 hours and he made sure that he was able to go into the station himself with me when I was due to. Luckily my investigation ended in a no further action I don’t think I could have handled it without his guidance and support during the process

Voluntary Police Interview.

Mr Bunker was a true gentleman as soon as I contacted him. I couldn’t have asked for a better legal service and having him at the end of the phone and beside me during a Voluntary Police Interview made me feel at ease after receiving a call from the Police asking me to attend the above interview. Naturally, I was extremely shocked and worried about this but never fear when Mr Bunker is here! I can’t recommend him enough and his knowledge and dedication to his work deserves the upmost credit. I can’t stress enough the importance of having a legal representative in a Voluntary Police Interview and Mr Bunker was there to make sure we achieved the “no further action” goal!

A number of Serious and False Accusations

I received a phone call from the police last year regarding a number of serious and false accusations. While researching online to find a suitable lawyer, Mr. Bunker's profile came to my attention, and he did not disappoint. He was attentive, true to his word, and laid down the facts for me. Although the case took longer than expected, Mr. Bunker was with me every step of the way, providing regular updates and his personal thoughts on what he believed the outcome would be. Needless to say, he was not wrong, and the best possible outcome was achieved: 'NFA' (No Further Action). Thanks for all your help and for helping me to live again.

Serious and false sexual accusation

Some extremely serious and false sexual allegations were made against a family member which led to us contacting SJB Legal. Mr Bunker provided free consultation over the phone prior to taking on the case and all advice was clear with prompt responses to any questions. This provided very good support, reassurance and confidence during a highly worrying time.
Mr Bunker was at all times patient, clear and professional and dealt with us in the best way possible resulting in no further action being taken with the case.

I would highly recommend Mr Bunker's services if you ever find yourself in this frightening situation.
