Disappointing Experience


I recently had the unfortunate experience of using Tuckers Solicitors for legal representation, and I must say it was utterly disappointing. From start to finish, the service provided was far below expectations.

Firstly, communication was very bad. I found it incredibly difficult to get in touch with anyone at the firm, and when I did, responses were slow and lacking in helpfulness. It felt like I was constantly chasing them for updates on my case, with little to no proactive communication from their end.

Moreover, the quality of legal advice I received was incredibly poor. It seemed as though the solicitors handling my case were not adequately knowledgeable in the relevant areas of law. Their advice was vague and often contradictory, leaving me feeling uncertain and confused about the best course of action.

To make matters worse, the fees charged were exorbitant considering the poor service provided. I expected to pay for quality legal representation, but what I got was anything but. It felt like a complete waste of money.

Overall, I would strongly advise against using Tuckers Solicitors for your legal needs. Save yourself the time, money, and frustration by seeking assistance elsewhere. There are plenty of other solicitors firms out there that actually care about their clients and provide competent service.

Go Any Where Else

This firm were supposed to represent a relative in Manchester. When the hearing was to be heard in the local magistrates court the solicitor did not turn up and it was transferred to Central Manchester Court. I arrived at the court at 9.30am and made the clerk aware that I needed to speak to the solicitor for my relative who has SEND needs. The clerk said she would pass on the message. On several occasions through out the day I repeated my request and at 2.00pm was told by the clerk he told her he had met me LIE. The case was finally heard at about 4.00. When I entered the court the solicitor turned to me and asked who I was. I told him there was a lot of background information to this case which was pertinent. He told me he had everything he needed.
The prosecution solicitor made claims that were completely fabricated and that I could have proved to the court were lies. When the so called defence solicitor tried to make an attempt of a kind of defence the information he gave to the court was incorrect eg he stated the defendant had mental health issues and a history of alcohol abuse. He suffers from ADHD.
I personally could have defended my relative better without any legal qualification.
I then wrote and sent an email to the London Office of an Official Complaint and to date have received no response.

Stay clear of this firm

Stay clear of this firm, they work hand in hand with the coppers and they will stitch you up big time, even the barristers they use havent got a clue. They say they are the leading criminal specialists, what a joke

Adrian Macho should not be trusted. DO NOT USE..

Adrian Macho should not be trusted..
Be careful about him doing deals with the prosecution without knowledge or consent of his clients.
No backbone. When found out wouldn't even apologise let alone pay for the appeal. Which had to be abandoned.

Avoid Mr Aslam

Avoid Mr Aslam, you weren't meant to be sentenced but he'll make sure you're so eased for the first time in nearly 2 years and make sure there's a 2 year weight off your shoulder that where you weren't meant to be convicted which neither the police or NCA wanted but you end up suddenly behaving properly that the prosecution who don't know you see you as convict worthy. Felt planned.

Excellent service and legal advice

Firm was recommended to me by a previous client. I was told they had an excellent reputation and it turned out to be correct. Lawyer was prepared and fully prepped for court and held my hand all the way. I was looked after and treated with respect. Would recommend the firm as professional and genuinely care about their clients.

AVOID LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!!!!

The absolute WORST legal help you could ever receive. They completely failed to help me in my case in which I was faced with egregious, historic charges from almost half a century ago, that there was ZERO evidence of and ZERO witnesses. Tuckers put across absolutely NO valid defence. I spent 6 months writing out pages and pages of information, evidence and questions to ask the person that was accusing me and my legal team did not even read it. They did not pay any attention to any of the information/evidence I provided and neither did they ask any of the question I told them to ask. I was found guilty of a crime I absolutely did not commit and sentenced to 5 years.

After I was found guilty Tuckers refused to send me the documents I needed to make an appeal. Despite numerous strenuous requests for the 'notice on appeal' they ignored all of my requests and did not send it until many months after the time frame to appeal had elapsed.

I CANNOT state enough how HORRENDOUS Tuckers are. If you want to go to prison for a crime you did not commit, then hire Tuckers.

If the rest of the company are as…

If the rest of the company are as unresponsive and unprofessional as Mr Walsh I recommend avoiding altogether.

Mr Walsh and I entered a written agreement over e-mail for representation. I spent a few days gathering necessary documentation... and then he disappeared.

I sent a series of follow up e-mails (even contacted admin team to check he still worked there). Eventually had a response to say that due to "developments" he could not take my case on.

He assured me that it was straight forward "in and out" case and would not take much work. No idea if this is common practise or not with this company. Reviews suggest it is.

Awful experience

Initial impression was good. But overall awful experience, no preparation on file i had to change solicitors part way through the case. I have given it 2 star for the initial impression.

Never ever go for this company

Never ever go for this company. I was told by them to accept the accusations in the interview as the evidence against me was strong. He didn't know what he was talking about. I was never charged and was released after hours. Kevin M his name is and this happenedin Stoke-on-Trent police station. Avoid this guy.

Avoid at all costs

Avoid at all costs. They will offer you a very poor service and even worsen your case. Many people are victim of their bad service. One of their clients was even advised to plead guilty and finally went alone in the case and has been found not guilty. They definitely do Public Fund Misuse. Never go to them if you are awarded legal aid as it is the biggest firm in UK taking on legal aid applications so they definitely mistreat their customers. My current solicitor Nimesh Kotecha is not reachable and very unprofessional. He even sent me by text “Ok Brother” . It’s quite shocking to see how this firm is taking advantage of taxpayers money.
