"Having googled for a solicitor who had expertise in the area of my alleged offence I found your firm and I have to say it I am so glad I contacted you. From the first phone call the attitude from your office was positive and informative. Once I instructed your firm officially I immediately felt that my case was at last being handled by someone who actually had an interest and knowledge and wanted to provide an exceptional service. All in all a positive experience. My thanks to all who had dealings with my case and especially to Louise Prout for the expediency with which she dealt with the case saving me many sleepless nights."

We took on a last minute case yesterday for a chap at risk of a totting ban.

The trial was listed for 2pm today and we were up against it. We made an urgent application for an adjournment - the court refused.

It was an allegation of contravening a red traffic light. Two officers in a car some 100 meters behind out client claimed they had seen the offence.

Our client denied the offence and had entered a not guilty plea. We fully prepared the trial and briefed our Barrister to attend. We had an abuse of process argument to thrown into the mix on the basis that a video allegedly recording the incident had been destroyed by the police.

Our Barrister attended court, explained the defence/abuse of process argument and our client's instructions. The CPS agreed to offer no evidence and withdraw the case - Great victory - Defendant's costs order granted - All in the space of less than 24 hours !!

Whilst we are happy to take instructions at the last minute - please try and get in touch as early as possible - its not good for our hearts!
