Jeremy (Scott), I just wanted to thank you for today. I think your presence with me at the police station really helped, and lead to the charges being dropped.

Thank you once again for all your help (Jeremy Scott) and support through, what was, an extremely stressful time and also for achieving such a positive outcome for myself. I honestly thought I would get 8 points and a huge fine, so that was a massive relief.

Thank you Meghan for all your help - we obviously did a good job between us to get the result. I am ever so pleased you represented me as I felt very cared for throughout the whole process - thank you once again .

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.
