George invariably strives to obtain the best results for his clients, covering both legally aided and privately funded cases.
Client Comments
- “The services provided by Hodge Jones & Allen are very much appreciated when it is common practice these days for the perpetrators of offences to make false and malicious allegations against their victims, In this case the complainant made a false allegation of common assault whilst she herself being a landlady (according to her) had in my view committed offences of harassment and illegal eviction under the Protection from Eviction and Harassment Act of 1977 for which there is plenty of evidence. However police still consider it to be a civil matter. Hodge Jones & Allen are providing a fabulous and essential service in regard to such matters.”
- “He was extremely supportive and informative in a legal situation that I thought was potentially very serious.”
- “One of the Best companies for legal advice and legal representative with an outstanding outcome. Easy to work with them and very professional and knoledgeable lawyers.”
- “We were then appointed George Steel, as our solicitor, who did a brilliant job at putting our son at ease and also during the interview as we had the best outcome we could have wished for: No Further Action.”
