Testimonials

Hear what our clients say

“They had limited time to prepare for court (mainly my fault due to asking for help so late), but it seemed they strived under pressure, and they did a sterling job. Not only did they argue convincingly on my behalf, but they also managed to get my fine reduced from £650 to £80 plus standard court fees which was an amazing success. Yes, I grant you they aren’t the cheapest, but worth every penny – they did a fine job on the day.”

CP

“I was recently represented by Mr Reilly from EKR Associates at Oxford Magistrates Court.

Upon arrival I was swiftly assured that chances of a custodial sentence were minimal, and we could deal with the case promptly.

Mr Reilly was knowledgeable and proactive in his approach in the courtroom and really took care of me as a client, ensuring a favourable outcome for all involved. Overall, he is a true professional and a thoroughly nice gentleman. Thanks, Eiran.”

DT

“I used Eiran Reilly of EKR Law to get me out of a sticky speeding problem where I was guaranteed a driving ban.

Working with Eiran and talking through everything he got me off with no ban.

I am very grateful. I will definitely be using him again and recommending him to everybody”
