Stephanie Heijdra is amazing!!
She knows the law like the back of her hand, really helped me today to get the results I wanted, really attentive with her clients, couldn’t have asked for a better barrister. Would highly recommend, thanks again 🙏🙏

I dont believe many of the reviews on here are accurate, but the actual barrister's themselves are very very good.
My issue is how Clerksroom deal with each case.
The cost of each hearing differs each time, which isnt helpful for planning, but I would recommend that you request a breakdown of the invoice to be paid. This is where they make their money. If you speak to the barristers, you realise that they dont see most of what you actually pay Clerksroom. Why isnt the Clerksroom service a set fee?
Why are they charging a fee again, when you use the same barrister who knows the case, for the next hearing and then their fees have gone up again?

Dont be fooled by the initial charm. That willingness to help you and even offer a lower fee for that first hearing. When the case goes into the nitty gritty, they will show their true colours, and sadly this is when they pounce on the weak and vulnerable, leading to people being forced into paying extreme fees, which quite frankly, dont add up, when the work they have done is no different to the previous case.

They merely 'book' someone for you. Thats it. So this should be a set fee, with the barrister receiving the remainder of what is to be agreed as a fixed price (be prepared for additional costs if the case is more complex than they expected).

All in all, woudl i recommend them. No. But anyone going through a court proceeding is governed by their financial status and ability to fund legal help. Clerksroom sadly are a business, out to make money, and this is evident when they begin to raise their fee, despite them doing less and less as a case progresses from hearing to hearing.
Ask your barrister. Ask for a breakdown of what you are paying each time. You will be shocked.............

EUGENE IS AMAZING.. incredibly knowledgeable and quite charming.. great sense of humour .. lovely lovely man but above all an absolute force.. you need him on your side.. ❤️ Thank you Eugene, you were invaluable to us..

Excellent service with outstanding barristers. I would highly recommend Stephanie Heijdra, she is very professional and experienced

I contacted Clerksroom Direct Barristers. Was put in touch with a Rebecca Hodgins for a injunction. This is the lady if you want a good Barrister. Excellent from start to finish, straight to the point,easy to work with. Very impressive and highly recommended. Even escorted me and sister to my car from courtroom. Fantastic Lady and much appreciated Rebecca. Jane Hayward.

Was last minute call, they provided me with professional Barrister who helped sort out my issue. Thanks, much appreciated.

I have had the pleasure of working on matters with Barrister Nadeem Aslam Khan with understanding for sensitivity and honour and respect. He has been steadfast in the face of adversity and behaviour known as SLAPP with/for other harassments and maintained his honour and integrity of Bar Council Standards. He’s assessed the matters accurately and efficiently in my best interest and treated me as family. I’m proud that Barristers like Nadeem Aslam Khan exist in the United Kingdom.

I contacted Clerksroom Direct with less than 2 weeks to go before a final court hearing outlining what specific expertise I was looking for. I was really concerned that the timescale was so tight there would be no quality barrister available. I needn't have worried.

Rory responded promptly and reassured me Clerksroom Direct would be able to help. He came back a few hours later recommending Stephanie Heijdra. She was totally professional and spent nearly two and a half hours going through my daughter’s case with us. Her questions were pertinent and got to the nub of each problem. Her eye for detail was laser sharp.

Stephanie has a gift for ‘reading’ people accurately which came into play in court. My daughter and I were delighted with the outcome which seemed little short of a miracle, given the starting point.

I would recommend Clerksroom Direct for their prompt and professional service. They absolutely matched what I was looking for with their barrister recommendation. Clarification was given quickly when I had a question. Everything went through smoothly.

Highly recommended service.

A Barrister that gets it!
Lucky to have met Stephanie Heijdra. Very unbiased in her work, and brings that winning energy!!

Our barrister Majeks Walker was superb, clear and concise in presenting our case with all of the necessary information to hand to back up his statements I would thoroughly recommend his services.

I wish there were more stars to rate Dee as my Barrister.
Caring, understanding, compassionate are 3 of the many qualities Dee has outside of the usual qualities a barrister would have.
As a barrister, Dee was knowledgeable, efficient, her attention to detail was outstanding, going above and beyond for me, with her advice and help.
Within the court setting Dee put me at ease, made sure I was going in to the hearing with a good understanding of all potential outcomes, there was also a plan in place for each eventuality.
There are no words to explain how Dee helped me, and what I would have done without her help. If you're looking for a Barrister to go beyond your expectations, Dee is the one!

Contacting Clerksroom Direct in assistance with my child arrangement order was the best move I made.
Being assigned Nadeem Aslam as my Barrister made the difference to having a successful case and final hearing in court.
I have never been through a court process like this. With so much at stake regarding my son and given some of the allegations it was very stressful time which Nadeem put a blanket of calmness over instantly. His professionalism along with personal experience really made a huge difference in how we moved forward. Nadeem secured what I wanted from court and more. Going above abd beyond from day one of speaking up to and after the final court hearing.
It is a day and moment I shall never forget. I cannot show him enough gratitude aa deserves.

If you have a child arrangement order/dispute. 100% go through Nadeem Aslam. He really is a great guy.

Now I can enjoy building a relationship up with my son...

Nadeem aslam - represented me in court. As I struggle with anxiety, and as we met in person he gave me full confidence and made me at ease with the whole situation, and I’m continuing to use him for further matters. My family was with me as well and they couldn’t speak highly enough of him. I would highly recommend him.

Outstanding service from Nick Wright!
An amazing barrister, great knowledge, challenging and absolutely the right person to have by your side.
You would not want to go up against Nick, he is thorough, detailed and knows the system very well.

Nick - a big thank you for being amazing! What a great result today even when initially things didn't look great for us! Justice was served... honesty won!

Hopefully I never need to use your services again, but if I do, I would 1000% come to you.

Now! I don’t ever write reviews, nor do I like to bad mouth people, or hurt peoples feelings! That is not my intention when writing this review.

But I feel that I should give people the heads up, who may also be in a very similar situation, im not saying that this will be the case may be in all situations but after a very distressing couple of years, I had decided that my only option left to resolve my family issues, was to have to attend court. After my first hearing & representing myself, I decided for the my Final hearing, that I would instruct a barrister, because I didn’t have a solicitor I instructed a barrister. What I did not know, was this was going to be a complete waste of money. To break this down, without rambling on and going into to much detail.

In 2021 my ex-partner took both my children from me, (because I had a new partner) Police wouldn’t do anything. After a few months my eldest came back to me, & he kept my youngest son. But he would only let him come to me once a week & every other wkend. I tried mediation, that didn’t work, as my ex-partner would not agree.
I tried speaking with him, everything. So all that was left was to attend court to be able to get something in place where I could spend more time with my son. Went to court in June this year, & I represented myself. The next hearing was this August.

I contacted clerksroom direct, and was allocated a Barrister. Who I was told he would be in touch, to arrange a convenient time to telephone me, which he did not. He telephoned me at 7:00pm the evening before. He was on the call all of 3 minutes. 😳😲 when we arrived at court & met with him the next morning.
It was as though he had not read through my statement or my respondent’s statement what so ever! He had no idea about any form of psychology abuse or manipulation or anything of the other that me & my children have been put though. Which if he had read my statements then he would have been aware of.

It was as though all he had read was the statement that CAFFCASS had wrote. As that’s all he seemed interested in,
as he said that this is not about you, or what you want. It’s about the children.
Yes, fair enough I agree to some extent. But at the end of the day. They are our children & we should have equal rights to spend equal time with them.
The Barrister even said to me, “I don’t know what we are even doing here! You’re wasting your money!!” He even said that, his own words. He didn’t seem to want to fight for anything else that I wanted. He didn’t seem interested in the case at all.

The issues wasn’t just about time spend with children I wanted to raise other issues up. Which was not even going to get looked at or argued by him, he didn’t want any to entertain any of it, he just wanted to free up court time & get off early.

What a waste of £1,800. I am Really disappointed in the service that I received. This was mine & my children’s future. These Barristers need to take things more seriously. At least put abit more effort in and try.

Deirdre Smythe was recently instructed to represent me in family court. She showed both empathy and confidence throughout the build up of proceedings, taking time to listen & understand past experiences. Without her help in creating the bundle for court & her expertise in court orders, we would not have secured this outcome for our family. She was confident & concise in the court room & a real help to all involved.
Dee, I cannot thank you enough.

Sam Morgan from Clerksroom Direct assigned us barrister Marc Brittain - Marc was very professional, always available, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. We would definitely recommend Marc Brittain from Clerksroom Direct to anyone who needs a Barrister.

Thank you Sam and Marc!

Sam, the barrister's clerk was incredibly helpful and responded very quickly to our enquiry. Would definitely recommend using this service rather than the traditional route of employing a solicitor to act as advocate.

Ultra-responsive and helpful throughout, highly recommended.

Clerksroom Direct were unable to find choice of a barrister to honestly advise on a neighbour dispute property damage claim, re: merits on whether to Appeal, though found one, but I feel did not give proper advice on my options, act in my interest as a client with limited affordability & disability, but more in procuring business. It materialises I was advised to appeal and apply to the Court for an Oral Hearing unnecessarily. I complained to Clerksroom Direct, but their resolution fell short of expectations. I sought another barrister from CD to represent for the Oral Hearing, but Clerksroom Direct were unable to find any barrister even though they claim they have "1000+ barristers." I am overall really disappointed with not only their overall service, but the introduction of a barrister - the only one available amongst many who has wasted a year of my time, not to mention futile legal expense, frustration, mental and physical stress of handling it all on my own. It was only later in the year I realised of the poor services received.
