Lewes District Council
'We have instructed Spencer Howard, solicitors, to prosecute and advise on a number of planning, environmental and housing benefit fraud matters. These have been dealt with in an extremely proficient manner and the liaison between client departments, the Legal Section and Spencer Howard has been excellent. The very good results in the Magistrates Court are a testament to Mr Orridge's professionalism and expertise.' Ralph Harris, Senior Legal Assistant

Eastbourne Borough Council
Richard Orridge has provided advocacy services in respect of complex prosecutions. All have had successful conclusions, with defendants being convicted. Some defendants have pursued appeals at the Crown Court, where their convictions and sentences have been upheld. As a result of these cases, I have complete trust in Richard Orridge and would recommend him. He is able to cope with complex cases, involving several defendants, with multiple offences and to put forward the key issues in a clear way, whilst successfully cross-examining witnesses. As a witness, I found him to inspire confidence and every case that I worked with Richard, had a successful conclusion. - Mike Warren, Environmental Health Officer, E.B.C. (and former Director of Environmental Health, Hove Borough Council)

'As someone with no experience of the legal system, I found your plain English advice and regular case updates extremely reassuring. The result of my hearing was the best I could have hoped for in the circumstances, and was in no small measure due to your negotiating and advocacy skills.' Mr Andy Haffenden
