Case dismissed!!!!!

There are no words to say how grateful my son and I are for your representation and support in his drug drive case. From the initial discussion with Jeanette who rang me promptly the next morning after I had left a message overnight (about 3 days before the initial hearing) to the final day of the case, I have no complaints whatsoever. When we spoke to Jeanette and later our Solicitor Austin Anderson-Brettell who was our main point of contact throughout, they made no promises, but it is now very clear that they are experts in this area of law! Throughout, Austin kept us in the loop, explained everything to us in terms we could understand and was extremely thorough. He was professional, yet very accessible and empathetic and despite what the outcome would be, I knew we had made the best choice to support my son. Austin…..you’re the man! May God bless you always.

Did it cost us, yes it did, but was it worth it, yes it was! My child feels like he has a new lease on life and it feels like a weight has been lifted from our shoulders and this dark cloud that had been hanging over our family for 10 months and 6 days was finally gone.We had contacted other solicitors and some were dismissive and at least two of them told us there was no point in contesting the charges and that ‘many of these lawyers make false promises’. I thank God I didn’t listen and stepped out in faith.

We were represented by Barrister John Dye at trial and I must say, I would have wanted no one else. We could see he had been thoroughly briefed, had meticulously gone through the file (I’ve never seen so many post its in one file) and was ready to do battle. In our initial discussions, he spoke some truths that no one else was brave enough to say out loud about some of the circumstances of the case. John…..thank you, thank you!

I cannot recommend Geoffrey Millers enough, and if you are ever in the situation like we were, call Geoffrey Millers if you want the best possible chance of success in your matter. Discuss your case and your options with them. They are open and honest about what they do and they know what they are talking about and are the leading experts in this field.Guys my heartfelt thanks and gratitude always!

“I was stopped and failed a swap test for cannabis. I didn’t realise cannabis stayed in your system for as long as it does. I contacted three companies and chose Geoffrey Miller because they gave me the confidence to fight my case unlike the other two. From day one they have been very professional and thorough in everything they have done. I put my not guilty plea in then left everything up to them and a trial date was set. My case was dropped before it even went to trial. Geoffrey Miller are more expensive but you get what you pay for and I would highly recommend them.”

Where do I begin…

In may of 2022 I was allegedly rolling cannabis in a public car park.
Undercover officers came up to my car and said that my car allegedly smelled of cannabis.
I was subsequently swabbed and the result allegedly came back positive for THC.

And just like that I was arrested for cannabis possession and being in charge of a motor vehicle whilst over the limit for THC.

After a few days of stress and anxiety I decided to instruct Geoffrey Miller solicitors to handle my case. This was probably the best decision I have ever made in my entire life.

GM solicitors took care of everything from beginning to end with excellence. Communication was superb. I cannot thank Catherine Baird enough for dealing with my anxiety and barrage of questions.

On the day of giving my plea, the barrister GM had appointed to me was extremely professional and kind, all whilst executing her duties with perfection. I followed Catherines advice and gave a not guilty plea for both offences – this was extremely valuable advice.

Fast forward to today, and my case has been DISMISSED! Dismissed one week before the court date! I’m still in disbelief! It’s hard to keep faith in these situations but TRUST GEOFFREY MILLERS!

As for the CPS… They are extremely unorganised and this often leads to issues in the prosecutions case, the CPS showed that they often lack the evidence required and displayed their inability to adhere to strict deadlines.

THANK YOU AGAIN CATHERINE BAIRD AND GEOFFREY MILLER SOLICITORS! YOU HAVE A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE!

My son’s case for drug driving was discontinued, thanks to the detailed scrutinisation of Austin and all who worked on his case. Every little detail was analysed and challenged where appropriate and there were so many anomalies to the way my son was treated and the way his results were determined that the case was dropped. The expert witnesses and trial lawyer were superb and we felt that we were in safe hands! Austin was always available to speak to and answered our queries promptly and with detailed responses. We would definitely recommend Geoffrey Miller Solicitors.

I cannot recommend them highly enough. I “interviewed’ four firms to defend my son and dealt with the managing partner who was very impressive. Austin as our solicitor was always available, confident and detailed. Philip Lucas at trial is everything his bio states-the best in this area. We didn’t even get to a full trial as he dismantled their case and we had plenty in reserve. This came from being so detailed and knowledgable. It’s not cheap but worth every penny in difficult circumstances.

I cannot recommend enough and their ratings of success have proved true!

Thankyou, Thankyou! I hope we never need you again but if we do we will be straight back.

This was the first time Russell had ever been in trouble and the team at Geoffrey Miller could not have done more to help us. They were reassuring and clear in the information and strategy. Seeing Mr Lucas in court was incredible. He blew the case out of the water. The case was not won in court though. It got adjourned but then we got a notice of discontinuance before the next trial date. When we got that phone call it was the best feeling ever. I screamed. I was so elated and relieved. It’s over. We are so appreciative of everything the Geoffrey Miller team have done for us.

It was a drug drive case involving my 18 year old son. It was an extremely stressful situation for us but we called Geoffrey Miller and went through some details and they advised that they could help. There was no judgement and they were extremely helpful and clearly had much experience in this field, They were calming, took control and kept us informed throughout. We had one constant contact from the office who was very responsive to any questions and emails, one constant contact for the numerous case management hearings who was also very helpful and then our barrister for the trial who was also clearly very experienced and it was their thorough and in depth knowledge of the technicalities specific to this kind of case that resulted in my son’s acquittal. If you should ever find yourself in a similar situation and need someone to fight your corner I would not hesitate to recommend Geoffrey Miller Solicitors.

So you have been stopped and failed a road side drug test . I imaging like I was your are now thinking you could lose it all, your job your reputation, everything . The first step you need to take straight away is contact Geoffrey Miller, right now . These guys know what they are doing, trust me, very professional and reassuring. They handle all aspects of the very difficult 9 month it took to get to court , with there knowledge of the system and experience in this field , I took just a few hours before I was acquitted. Now don’t get me wrong this is not a cheap option , it seems a massive amount with no guarantees , but in my case and a very high percentage of their cases it was worth it, i stood to lose my business and then house etc etc if lost my licence, a lot lot more than there fee. Very satisfied, on call whenever I wanted to talk about the case or advise , Marc who dealt with my case was excellent. To end I wish you luck and the advise to go with these guys. If you keep your licence pls pls my best advise is stop drug driving , they will be stopping you each time they see you , don’t tempt fate , I was stopped recently many months later , by the same officer with a vengeance for me due to acquittal , passed the drug swab, because I have stopped , the satisfaction was immense.

After being tested for drugs @ roadside by police, I was surprised to fail & be arrested. I failed on cocaine and cannabis from a swab test. The minute I was released from the police station I wrote everything down, who said what & the order of events. I contacted 3 solicitors to get as much info as possible. How could I make a decision regarding who to go with? I had better repoire with a different solicitor, but gms success rate was hard to ignore. I chose gm solicitors as they had lots of presence & testimonies online, some similar to my situation. I was concerned that the high %age success rate was due to a scandle at a testing centre, this was not the case. So I chose gm. I discovered that the cause of cannabis was likely a vape I had used about an hour and a half prior to my stop (it turns out the owner had smoked skunk in it the night previous). Once I discovered this I was dejected, one inconspicuous moment and my career and potential to earn would be over. I went from optimistic to resignation that I would be guilty. Cannabis would be found in my blood, it cannot be missed. I did not pay to get my sample of blood checked, it would be above the minimum limit of 2. I quickly learned that the cocaine was a trace of zapain tablets I had been prescribed. Therefore this issue went. I was assigned Marc, there was no precense of his name in the testimonials. I met Marc briefly a few days after my arrest to provide a statement (I don’t think at this point I knew how I may of got canabis in my system) then covid struck. My bloods came back from police 4_5 months later, no cocaine but thc of 3.1. I was expecting higher based on what I had read, but plenty of people lost their licence on 3.1 when reading past cases. To defend the strategy was to first examine the technical process, it appeared ligitimate and professional when undertook by the police I expected no flaws. My gut feeling was to argue accidental consumption (as that is what happened) I had a witness (the vape owner). Marc wished to first question the technicality, using the what actually happened as plan b. My worry was that I may annoy the judge by using plan b at a retrial and not at the first. I wasn’t sure I could afford a retrial. I decided I had to trust Marc, he is the expert. I must take his advice no matter what. Before a trial thier are case review hearings & you also give Yr plea, peopleare sent by gm to represent you. All where excellent and gave me confidence that I had a chance. I did not dare to believe. Because of covid I was feeling removed from my case, counsel was doing thier day jobs and I was an observer who could no longer meet my solicitor, that is just the way it was. It was no fault of anybodies, nor was it preventable due to Lockdown. But counsels sent to represent me spoke highly of Marc and gm solicitors, all would answer any questions I had. The trial came, counsel travelled from London to represent me, a highly intelligent gent who could consisely explain anything I asked. He noted and was impressed by how well Marc had prepared the case. I was acquitted at the trial. I have not yet lost the stress I carried for7 months, but more falls from me each day. Important things I learned. The cps must comply with certain procedures dates & standards, this is difficult for them, Marc always contacted cps at the right time to request info, this is important. not too early & not too late, it makes a difference. Asking for info last minute would of been no excuse for the magistrate. My counsel was excellent with numerous case studies to utilise, his reasoning was Impressive & immense knowledge of the law that the magistrates were taking advice from him as he explained the potential issues. A combination of well prepared case by Marc, an excellent counsel and a touch of luck helped me have my case thrown out. I am grateful that I listened to Marc. I recommend GM solicitors for making my case as strong as it could possibly be. Thanks to all.

I spent along time searching for the best to fight my case due to feeling this was handled incorrectly. I found Geoffrey Miller and so glad I decided to go with them. Nothing but professionalism throughout, great communication and understanding from my caseworker. The advocate sent to the hearing was fantastic and in the end it was acquitted. I cant thank everyone involved enough. High end but you get what you pay for. I am so happy with the outcome. Thanks again to you all. I highly recommend.

Currently speechless from desired result

Was charged with drug driving mainly cocaine and it’s after product. and possession of cannabis over a year and half ago. I then instructed Geoffrey miller by fate on the basis I had put my name and number on at least 5 other solicitor call back pages. Geoffrey miller was the first firm to get hold of me and I was greeted by the lovely Saskia who explained in detail what my options was. Saskia was lovely to talk to and was the reason I went ahead with Geoffrey miller. As I instructed Geoffrey miller I then had the lovely Ellie as my caseworker who was very thorough with her work. and was always letting me know on important issues throughout the case. and always being positive about the whole thing. I was also lucky enough to speak to Jeanette at one point and would like to say a big thanks to have a little faith in me when I needed it most over a little payment issue.

About the trials and final outcome

So it has been a long and grueling experience for me as I was charged with the offence in late February last year I then had to wait a day before the 6 month deadline for my blood result to come back from the police for it to be over the specified limit. I then had my first hearing two weeks later from the results. I had Barry to represent me to progress the case to full trial after that then came several delays one from the court then CPS witnesses were unable to attend and was finally set on 27th of June this year. I arrived at court and spoke to my barrister who has unbelievable knowledge of process that it’s scary. after this I knew he would give the CPS a hard time but low and behold it was a complete whitewash on my behalf as the CPS main witness was sick from may and the CPS was unaware of this until we was at court and had failed to check if witnesses would be available on a set deadline given by a pre trial hearing. their second witness also decided to call in sick on the day. The CPS then had the cheek to try to ask for a adjournment witch of course was rejected. after this the CPS had no evidence to give and I was acquitted.

Things I have learnt

Geoffrey miller are awesome they make u feel respected and feel good about a case u might not think u can win

CPS are very unorganised

Some Witness don’t like to turn up to court

Barristers appointed to represent you are truly awesome

Final conclusion
If you are reading this then read my advice don’t go to anyone else this firm is simply the best you can get. I can’t stress that enough. thank you Geoffrey miller for my acquittal I owe u every thing big respect to Ellie, Saskia they are true gems to the firm.
