Will recommend them to everyone!
These guys are the real deal. Abdul was absolutely excellent in dealing with my drink driving case. We didn’t have a very strong case but thanks to his preparation, perseverance and calm approach in court, the charge was dropped.
In court, Abdul was quick thinking and really dictated the speed and flow of proceedings, taking time to properly consider the argument put forward and close down the prosecution.
Highly recommend.

“My family and friends were sceptical about using Solicitors after I was stopped for drink driving. Parnell & Peel Solicitors were willing take a case on that others told was hopeless. I am astounded by Abdul and his teams brilliance in helping me to avoid conviction. If you have been stopped for drink driving do not hesitate to use Parnell & Peel Solicitors.”
Mr Abdul Ali took my case on a few weeks before my case, he understood how vital it was for me to not get a ban on my driving licence due to totting up of points.
He was reassuring all through out the build up to my case, he guided me all through the information I would need for presenting evidence for an exceptional hardship case and on the day went through how the court process would be.
I was very nervous but through his expertise and guidance I was able to present my case and was successful in not being banned from driving.
I could not state highly enough how valuable he was to my case and me personally as soon as I met him I knew he was the right solicitor for me.
He took the time to understand my case and what I had to loose and did everything in professional capacity in court to ensure I received the verdict that I wanted.
I would highly recommend his services and expertise to anyone in such driving offences situation.
Drink driving- Not guilty.
Worth every penny!
I was certain I would lose my license at the time.
After contacting Parnell and Peel, Abdul quickly filled me with confidence and explained in great detail how he would defend my case.
He clearly has a lot of experience and knowledge.
In the end I didn’t even need to go to trial as my case was dropped a few days before, all thanks to Abdul and his team.
I can’t thank him enough and I would highly recommend Parnell and Peel solicitors to anyone.
Amazing support from Abdul.
I had charge from the court for 12 points for two different incidents.
Abdul assisted me with this like family and finally got out of the charges. It was nearly a year journey and I never felt left alone.
I recommend everyone to seek advice from him, very knowledgeable and helpful.
First of all I would like to start with a massive Thankyou to Abdul Ali and his team.
This is to be my first review as I have never ever posted one.
I was charged with Failure To Provide Specimen with the suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.
The prosecution was looking to throw the book at me give a custodial sentence however due to Abdul’s above and beyond examination of the evidence it was concluded that the prosecution had no case as they had no evidence of me driving the car.
If you are in trouble it is always worth getting legal advice and seeing what can be done.
This guy is an extremely educated person and knows exactly what he is talking about.
He was throughout in contact even answering my phone at stupid times when I used to have some questions so I got to give it to him for his dedication.
All in all I would definitely say this firm and Abdul Ali is definitely someone I’d blindly put my trust in.
Wow, words cannot express how happy I am today when I was told the good news by Abdul that my drink drive court case has been dropped.
From the very first day I contacted Abdul when i was charged with drink drive offense, he assured me to calm down and that he will do all he can to get me the possible outcome and that is exacted what I had.
I will 100% recommend Parnell and Peel Solicitors to you if you find yourself at the wrong side of the law.
Once again, thank you Abdul, Thank you Parnell and Peel Solicitors.
After a gruelling process of putting forward a post consumption defence the CPS failed to counter defend the evidence presented by the team at Parnell and Peel.
I’m a happy man and glad I get to keep my licence!
“Hi Abdul, I would like to thank you and your team for looking after me after been charged with Drink Driving, from the initial contact with Nancy to speaking to you and especially Keiran who represented me in court, who I can’t thank enough. When I thought there was no hope you and Kieran sorted what I thought was a hopeless case. I would strongly recommend you to anyone in the same position. Again thank you to you and your team.”

How Our Leading Drink Driving Solicitors Can Help Your Case
Our team specialises in drink driving cases. Over the years, we have developed several technical defences that we can argue in court to ensure you retain your driving licence. The burden of proof is on the prosecution to prove you are guilty. Often, it is possible to pick holes in the evidence. Sometimes, we can even prevent the evidence from being used entirely, especially if there have been procedural errors. Below, you’ll find examples of some of these technical defences.
If you had a breath test:
Most people charged with drink driving have undergone two breath tests. The prosecution’s case then often relies heavily on the results from the ECB machine. However, these machines can malfunction, and police procedures are not always correctly followed. We carefully review every aspect of the prosecution’s case to uncover potential errors, such as:
- The ECB machine was not calibrated.
- The prosecution cannot provide calibration documents going back over a period of six months.
- No proper breathing test procedure was performed.
- The police failed to conduct an identification parade.
It takes a specialist to investigate the police conduct and identify if any corners were cut. If we can establish that errors or shortcuts occurred, it could mean that the prosecution can not use this evidence against you. We have successfully defended 87% of all drink driving breath cases we have dealt with.
If you had a urine test:
Urine tests are rare, so if they occur, we will scrutinise the procedure to ensure the sample was collected correctly. Specifically, we will question:
- Was there lawful consent?
- At what point was the urine sample taken??
- Whether your bladder was completely empty.
- If there was an intervening period between the two samples.
We will also investigate the testing laboratory’s conduct. These factors dictate whether the correct procedural requirements were met. We have successfully defended 93% of all urine cases we have dealt with.
Special Circumstances:
It may also be possible to argue a case for special reasons – this means that you did drive while over the limit, but only due to mitigating circumstances. For instance, there could have been a medical emergency, or your drink might’ve been laced without your knowledge. We can use these circumstances to build a defence and fight your case. We have won 91% of all drink driving special reasons cases we have dealt with.
