Thank you Meghan for your advice and support in putting my case forward in such a way that the magistrates took account of my condition, and as a result, gave me a manageable penalty.

I have wanted to let you know since the start how very professional and brilliant you were in representing my husband. It was me who initially rang around making enquiries with various reputable law firms for representation and it was you who stood out amongst all the solicitors I spoke to. Very professional and knowledgeable, attentive and great client relation skills. You have a very good asset there.

Thank you for all the support that you have given us. I really do appreciate it. I don't think we would be getting through this without you.

You are a fantastic. Thanks for all your hard work

From the outset, Meghan helped put me more at ease, by explaining the process in simple terms which before seemed like a very daunting task. She was calm and professional during my interview, which helped as the policeman had little understanding of how the law works in these situations. Meghan looked through my case and really helped me through the next steps towards court. I received very good advice at court. Meghan's knowledge of the law helped me achieve the result I needed to retain my license and be able to carry on with my busy life. My family, staff and I will be forever grateful.
