Both offices serve clients throughout London, Hertfordshire, and nationwide for serious cases.

Question 8

What makes CG Law Defence different from other firms?

Accepted Answer

Our solicitors handle only 10-15 select cases at a time (not 50-100 like many firms), ensuring individual attention. We have no billing targets, allowing us to focus on results not hours. We're award-winning (Best London Lawyers 2025), have 25+ years combined experience, and provide 24/7 access to experienced partners, not junior staff. We also succeed in preventing charges in approximately 30% of our cases through early intervention.
