“Chantelle is very experienced in “cold-case appeals” particularly in serious sexual allegations. She has the unusual ability to combine a clinical attention to detail with heartfelt empathy towards her clients and their families in the most difficult of cases. She is an extremely dedicated solicitor and a great team player to be instructed by on any case”

Chantelle has particular expertise in cases of sexual assault, rape, murder, bribery and corruption as well as fraud, money laundering and defending those accused of international criminal drugs conspiracies. She excels in the art of client care (for it really is an art) and will go above and beyond for those she represents. Her clients will return to her for guidance and support long after their successful outcomes. She would be my first point of contact for anyone needing criminal legal advice, representation, or a referral. I cannot recommend Chantelle highly enough in terms of her legal acumen, vast professional network, practical skills and unparalleled commitment and work ethic. I have known and worked alongside Chantelle for many years and will continue to recommend her for many more years to come.”

“As a barrister, Chantelle is exactly the kind of solicitor I love to work with. She is not only proactive and meticulous in her approach to preparing the case, but she develops a relationship of trust with the client, enabling the most effective environment to work a case in what is often a very challenging time for them. Chantelle genuinely cares about the work she does and fights each case with passion. During the life of a case, I am in constant communication with her, ensuring we are always one step ahead and ready for anything that comes.”

“As a criminal defence barrister, I breathe a sigh of relief when I work with Chantelle on a case. She is proactive, has a good eye for detail and truly cares about getting the best result for the client. I can’t recommend her highly enough”.

“I have worked with Chantelle Wijetunga many times on various criminal cases. She always puts her heart and soul into representing her clients and providing the highest quality service. Her client care is second to none. She is an excellent lawyer and nothing is too much trouble. She is hard working, focused, forthright and determined.

“Lawyers are like Doctors, -nobody ever wants one or thinks they need one until something goes wrong.. When things went wrong for me I was lucky enough to be introduced to Chantelle and throughout the whole process she went above and beyond the norm. She was there at silly hours to give info and advice and was and is totally amazing and dedicated to helping whatever the situation. I hope I never need a lawyer again but if I do there is only one person to call. Thank you for your amazing skills and determination in all aspects of my case”

“We turned to Chantelle at a very difficult time; a family member had made false allegations against my husband and having been very badly failed by our trial legal team were having to try to appeal the conviction. Right from the start it was clear that Chantelle was a very different type of solicitor to what we had experienced thus far. She kept us fully involved in all aspects of the case, going far above and beyond what was expected of her time and time again. She is very knowledgeable, and really digs down into the important details of a case. She is also incredibly kind and supportive, which you really need when you find yourself in a situation where you need a criminal defence solicitor. I cannot recommend her highly enough, only wish we had found her sooner!”

“I really couldn’t put into words how thankful I am for everything you have done for me. You went above and beyond to what you needed to do. You helped me through the process not only with your great legal advice bit on a much more personal level. You helped me with issues I was having within myself and your calm nature helped me stay calm. I really don’t think I could of made it through this process without you. I feel that without your support and guidance I wouldn’t be in a position where I would be so optimistic about life.”

“It is easy to write with emotion, when thinking about a time of darkness, that now seems so far away. Around 8 years ago I walked into Chantelle’s office as a broken young man, trying to walk an unknown path. I was arrested and charged with Conspiracy to supply wholesale amounts of Cocaine. Chantelle’s is an excellent solicitor, with the determination and ability to fully prepare you for trial. My trial was six weeks and highly-complex with multiple defendants. She was always sharp with our legal arguments and knew my case inside out. Chantelle held my hand on this tough journey, she kept me focused and most importantly positive. Make the call and get the support you need.”

“Few lines seem so inadequate to express my appreciation for Chantelle’s effort on my behalf. I am truly grateful to her for helping me to no less than get my life back, she did an amazing job and considering what seemed to me like an uphill battle for my confiscation order, she stood up for me. I am not sure if she fully understands the impact of her actions but I have moved forward and have peace in my life, for this I will always be grateful. Hopefully I will not see her again in a professional context!! A big thank you!”

“I was represented by Chantelle, and the service I received was highly professional, and personal nothing was too much trouble or any problem for her and was treated with up most importance to her. A very competent and professional lady, who I would highly recommend to anyone. I cannot speak highly enough of this lady’s service and professionality”.

“I have to stay from the start of Chantelle representing me she has been amazing. In such worrying unknown times, I felt personally that she was fighting for my life. Keeping me and my family updated, explaining everything in detail and above doing it in a caring way. She was professional and passionate for the best outcome for me. During these upsetting times I can honestly say it was an absolute pleasure to be able to turn to Chantelle. I would recommend her with great satisfaction as she was recommended to me. I will be forever

“I was arrested in 2013 on a conspiracy case involving many defendants, I instructed a law firm where I had personal friends. The guy I always used had become unwell and sent along Chantelle at first I thought I am not sure if I am happy with this but after my first conference in prison with her I knew she was exactly what I needed. Chantelle visited whenever I asked to discuss the case and sorted my counsel. The first couldn’t do my trial so we used a second for a hearing and she wasn’t happy with him and immediately replaced him with a women who scared me at first but turned out to be a real winner. My all-female team were unstoppable! After a 12-week trial I had a hung jury, Chantelle arranged a new bail hearing which was successful after 7 months on remand. We prepared for a second trial where I was found unanimously not guilty! I can’t thank her enough for the work and effort she put in to my case. She (and the counsel who she saw fit to instruct) were also fantastic. She gives 110% to her clients and I can’t speak highly enough of her”.

“Chantelle is genuinely one of the kindest most caring people I have ever met, and I can honestly say it was a pleasure and a blessing to of had her represent me throughout my case. She was a flawless legal representative and she treated me like family rather than just her client. She fought for me as if I were her child and I will always have the utmost gratitude and love for her. I was charged with a serious Murder went through a 12-week trial. Even years later me and Chantelle keep in contact and to this day she still supports me which means so much. I have recommended Chantelle to friends and would recommend her to anyone in need of a first-class lawyer!”
