In May 2017 I got arrested for drug driving after providing a positive drug swab at the side of the road for cannabis. I really didn’t think at the time that I would be over the limit as I really hadn’t consumed much of it . When I was arrested I was taken to the local police station where a blood sample was taken and then had the long wait of 4 weeks for the results to come back. This was definitely the worst time of my life, lots of things were going through my head e.g. that if i was convicted i would lose my job, that I would never be able to travel to certain countries again. I honestly thought at the age of 19 and previously never been in any sort of trouble before my life was over.
When I plucked up the courage to tell my family the next day they did a lot of research to find the best solicitors they could, the testimonials we read on Geoffrey Miller’s website along with their success rate convinced us that these were the solicitors to use. My mother phoned them to find out more info and we instructed them to represent myself. I was also appointed my own caseworker named Sarah who i was told I could contact at anytime with any query I may have.
Eventually after waiting for what seemed like forever I received the results of my blood test. I was devastated to find out that as well as being over the limit for cannabis I was also over the legal drive limit for cocaine. I was convinced at this point nobody could get me off with this.
I phoned my case worker Sarah straight away and she talked me through everything that would happen from here. She was very thorough and extremely helpful.
On the trial day we met with my barrister who works for Geoffrey Miller (when I googled him I was shocked to learn that he was one of the top barristers in the U.K.). Within 45 minutes of the case starting my barrister had the case thrown out of court. I was ecstatic, everything that Sarah told me may happen, did happen!
I can’t thank Geoffrey Miller solicitors enough. I feel like I’ve got my life back. I would 100% recommend this firm and for me it was money well spent.
Thanks again!!”
