OUR LATEST DRINK DRIVING TESTIMONIALS

We used Geoffrey Miller Solicitors based on the testimonies we saw online, and we were not disappointed. The staff and service provided were excellent and with their help, the case was dismissed. Thank you all so much.

Case Dismissed
York

It was a most perplexing case as my son could not recall the incident due to being injured. From the outset of my contact with the company I felt the case was in safe hands. Their knowledge of motoring law was at expert level and we were quickly reassured that our son would receive an acquittal.

I felt the conversations were open and honest and at each development we were kept informed and although I would never assume an outcome from court the reassurances given were massively supportive and removed as much stress from us all as possible.

Acquitted - the Crown offered no evidence
Manchester

From the moment of hire I was thoroughly impressed. It was immediately evident that my assigned solicitor (Austin Anderson-Brettell) intimately knows the laws surrounding driving offences. He identified and explained numerous points of contention with my case, which put me at ease and made me feel a lot more confident about my situation. Over the next few weeks, he regularly updated me with advice and options I could take with my case. On his advice I made a not guilty plea in my first hearing and was acquitted in my trial. My acquittal was due to failures by the crown to provide evidence. I believe their failures were in part caused by the pressure placed on them by Geoffrey Miller solicitors and the case they had established for me, as well as their own incompetence. Even had they provided evidence, I was extremely confident that the barrister hired by Geoffrey Miller would have been able to dispute it and secure my acquittal due to the number of points of contention in my favour as well as the barrister’s competence. Overall, my case was handled with the utmost skill and professionalism; the solicitors at Geoffrey Miller are top class, as are the barristers and specialists they hire. I would recommend Geoffrey Miller Solicitors to anyone facing a driving offence.

I was involved in a very minor road incident, which resulted in a road side breath test. I blew more than double the limit, and weirdly I had an even higher reading about 2 hours afterwards. I was totally shocked, didn’t think I was over the limit – but it looked like I was “banged to rights!”. After spending 12hrs in the cells I returned home to a distraught partner and an immediate job disciplinary hearing. Lost my job about a week or so afterwards.Having googled what I could possibly do, I came across GM Solicitors. In desperation I rang them and made the difficult decision to borrow the money and instruct them on my behalf.From the beginning I was impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. Mr Ishtiaq Ahmed did a brilliant job at my first hearing. There then followed a 3 month wait for the trial, a very stressful period. During this time GM instructed a toxicology report and drew up a long list of questions for the prosecution.Just over a week before the trial the prosecution still hadn’t responded to the questions – I had a phone call with Austin for an update. He rang me back, about an hour afterwards, with the welcome news that the prosecution were dropping the case. No doubt because they couldn’t answer the questions that had been put to them!Although it’s lot of money to find, if like me you haven’t any “spare thousands” hanging about, it was money absolutely worth spending. My career would have been over if I had had a guilty verdict. I should also say that I’m confident they would have won the case if it had gone to trial.

Many thanks to Geoffrey Miller solicitors for their excellent preparation for the appeal against a drink driving conviction. Austin was an excellent and reassuring contact always prompt with his assistance. There had been a previous drink driving ban seven years ago which resulted in a three year ban this time. The original solicitors did not prepare the case thoroughly and did not present well in court. My son was at home after driving and had drunk alcohol. Hence following his arrest the blood alcohol test was not valid.Geoffrey Miller prepared the case for the appeal assuring us that there were numerous discrepancies with the prosecution case. They had also asked for various information from the Crown over a period of time but none was forthcoming.On the day of the appeal Richard Saynor the barrister was excellent with his support.However the appeal was very brief. The prosecution did not attend and the Recorder dismissed the case after discussion with Richard.This was a very welcome Christmas present allowing my son to get on with his life having suffered financially while unable to driveIn conclusion many thanks again for the professionalism of Geoffrey Miller solicitors and Austin in particular. I would have no hesitation recommending them in any future cases.

“Bună ziua.
Am fost prins bait la volan și pentru ca doream să obțin o condamnare cat mai mică am apelat la serviciile lor deoarece după multe zile de căutare am decis ca să-i sunt cei mai buni.Nu sunt tocmai ieftini dar a meritat.
Am primit o pedeapsă de 18 luni dar au obținut și un curs de reabilitare care îmi va scădea pedeapsa cu 18 săptămâni .”

Translation from Romanian:

“I have been caught drink driving and after few days of reading online reviews of different motor offence incidents I’ve decided to go with Geoffrey Miller.The initial advice I had from Louis Young make me feel better and understand I’m in good hands.
The outcome I had was a ban of 18 months but I’ve been offered a drink drive rehabilitation course that will reduce my sentence with 18 weeks .

I think it could have been much worse.
They are not cheap but definitely the best out there .”
