I was recently instructed in a substantial private client fraud case by JD Spicer Zeb. Their conduct and preparation of the case was exemplary and we achieved a substantial victory for the client at the end of two years of hard work. I cannot praise the senior partner, Philip Spicer, who had conduct of the case enough; he took personal charge of the case and left no stone unturned in pursuit of the right result for the client.

I have been instructed by JD Spicer Zeb for many years, covering the most serious of criminal allegations, often with a national profile. They have consistently demonstrated to me the perfect aptitude for cases at this level, which includes a diligence and tenacity to get the best for their clients, coupled with the skill and sensitivity required from the very earliest stages of a case.

Once again I appreciate your time and work to bring this situation to a close. Thank you very much and my best wishes to you and the law firm after handling my cases successfully.

I have worked with JD Spicer Zeb over a course of years, being instructed by them in some very high profile cases including serious fraud, phone-hacking, drugs cases and murder. The firm is excellent and I never hesitate to say so. They provide an attentive and professional service, are dedicated to their client’s cause and, in the senior associates and partners of the firm, they retain a wealth of know-how and experience. I often refer work to them and am never let down. They are expert in their field.

I faced a serious Murder charge and if convicted I would have received a life sentence. I was innocent of the charge and JD Spicer Zeb ensured that I had the best representation and QC for my case. Andrew Stewart and Malik Aldeiri, who also represented me at my trial, visited me in custody on numerous occasions at HMP Belmarsh. I was acquitted at the Old Bailey and I am eternally grateful to the JD SPICER ZEB Team. The outcome would have been different had I not had the best team.
