Drink Driving Penalties: First & Second Offences

“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.”

-Nigel Murray

“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.”

-Thomas Mcdonagh

“Stopped for drink driving, I started a dream job, and I could have lost everything, Kieran was brilliant at putting forward detailed legal arguments, which resulted in the prosecution offering no evidence in my case. Unbelievable, Thank you to Parnell & Peel Solicitors.”

-Oliver Reith

“Pricey but when you have your livelihood at stake definitely worth it. No jargon Abdul was just great at explaining away difficult concepts very easily. The barrister used was also fantastic. They are a great firm.”

-Mizlain Walton

“Parnell and Peel what can you say. Abdul was amazing meticulous and professional throughout. Great customer care and friendly team. Everything was outstanding. Fantastic team, fantastic result.”

-Alina Arten

“It was the worse time of my life. My nephew had made allegation against me. I contacted Parnell and Peel, and from the very first conversation with Abdul, I knew he was the one to help me. Parnell used many experts including psychological ones to show that my nephew was not telling the truth, old phone records were also used to provide me with a defence. I was relieved when the Prosecution dropped by Case. I will forever be grateful to the team at Parnell.”

-RT

“Thank You, Thank you. I believed my life had ended. I was falsely accused of Rape and I didn’t know where to turn to. I contacted many solicitors, until deciding upon Parnell. It’s the best decision I ever made. The Prosecution offered no evidence, during the Crown Court hearing.”

-MS

“Parnell and Peel are magnificent, not only are they excellent at their jobs, but they are humans. Abdul was truly amazing, as was the whole team. The thought of prison for something I did not do was truly terrifying. Abduls amazing eye for detail saved the day. The prosecution had noty followed the correct procedure, and the witnesses had lied on oath. I was found not guilty”

-JW

“Brilliant, absolutely amazing firm. I contacted Abdul, having spoken to other firms, although more expensive, you simply get what you pay for. Attentive, inquisitive, and fantastic in Court, both Abdul and John wo represented me during my trial were excellent. Found not guilty of historic allegations.”

-Anonymous

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.

-Archie1254

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.

-Waarisha Iffat

They done the impossible, got caught drink driving, I thought I would lose my license, however Abdul Ali insisted that I had a case, I just decided to take the risk, it went a lot better than I could have ever imagined.
He managed to drop my case before it got to the second trial, the whole experience was very smooth and he was very positive and uplifting throughout the whole process.
Just trust them and leave them to do their job.
THEY WILL SORT IT.
Will recommend them to everyone!

-Mani Sameni

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.

-Kindera Hopkins

Abdul Ali was extremely helpful and re-assuring throughout the process.
He was always available and on-call even outside your traditional working hours.
I’d highly recommend Abdul as with his experience and confidence regarding the matter, he’s always comfortable in dealing with it as he’s been there and done it many times before!

-Ashraf Kizito

I am extremely grateful for the exceptional services provided by solicitor Abdul in my drink-driving case.
His expertise and dedication resulted in a successful outcome even before we went to court.
I was impressed by his thorough understanding of the legal system and his ability to navigate through the complexities of my case.
I highly recommend Abdul for anyone in need of a reliable and skilled solicitor.
Thank you for your outstanding work!

-Gani Qufaj

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.

-Jeremiah Daniel

Abdul was brilliant to work with.
Answered all calls and texts with helpful information and on the day of court.
He got me the outcome I wanted

-Anna Heywood

Can’t recommend Abdul and his team enough.
Even when I taught there was nothing I could Abdul reassured he would do everything he could.
Very professional and were always at the other end of the phone.
Received the best outcome there is and kept my license.

-Kevin Murray

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.

-Louis Harrison

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.

-Leonard A

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!

-Ismail A

Contacted Pamell and Peel on Friday re a driving offence.
Answered immediately.
Abdul has been extremely helpful.
I would definitely recommend.

-Ewan B

I was stopped for drink drive I was devastated as I stood on the verge of losing everything
I spoke to Abdul and he was reassuring and informed me that we could put a technical defence forward.
The prosecution on the day of the trial offered no evidence.
I am so grateful to the team at Parnel.
My experience was excellent particular thanks go to Abdul

-Eliza A

“I was facing a very difficult motoring legal situation, but Parnell & Peel (Abdul) was able to guide me through it with expertise and professionalism. Abdul himself was very calm which had a positive effect on me and would response to any queries I had in a timely manner. They were thorough in their explanations and fought hard to achieve the best possible outcome for my case. I highly recommend their services. Thank you Abdul.”

-Brijesh Patel

“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.
I was amazed with the result and Abdul’s expertise and professionalism. He was amazing, I was stressed with the case and rang him many times, sometimes more than once a day, but despite this Abdul always responded. He made an application and my drink drive case was withdrawn a day before Trial.
Abdul is certainly skilled and fantastic at his job. Money well spent, there may be cheaper solicitors out there but none are better than Abdul and his team. Truly quality service.
I really can’t put in words how thankful I am and I would highly recommend Parnell and Peel solicitors to anyone.”

-Visha

“I was put through to Abdul from a friend who had used his services previously. I was stopped for Drink Drive and I was adamant that I was not guilty. The thought of losing my licence was terrifying and I contacted many firms who advised to simply plead guilty. Immediately having spoken to Abdul I was confident that he was fighting for me. After a long year, Abdul and his team made an application to Court and 1 day before the Trial the Prosecution offered no Evidence. Really grateful for the unbelievable outcome.”

-ND recruitments

“From the first call with Abdul, I felt supported—he explained everything clearly and with real empathy. Mukesh and Rachel were also fantastic: friendly, professional, and genuinely understood my situation. I was incredibly stressed and needed expert advice. Parnell and Peel delivered exactly that. Thanks to their hard work, my case was dismissed before going to trial. Highly recommend!”

-V P

“I am so grateful to Abdul and his incredible team — Mukesh and Kimberley.
It felt like my world was falling apart — facing the very real and terrifying consequences of a potential conviction and the real and costly impact it could have. Until you’re in that situation, you can’t fully understand… but when it happens, the actual reality of it becomes all too clear.
From the very first conversation with Abdul, I just knew — this man will help me. His calm, confident manner immediately reassured me that things weren’t as hopeless as they seemed.
Abdul is truly at the top of his game. He and his teams support throughout the entire process, and it’s a journey for sure, combined with his expertise and empathy, gave me the reassurance I needed.
There is light at the end of the tunnel — you are in truly safe hands.
Thank you so much, Abdul.”

-James Collins

“Today I was in court for failing to provide an evidential sample for analysis.
This horrendous journey started in August of last year(2024). I was unaware of this charge until a letter dropped on my door around Christmas time.
I contacted Abdul and he knew the importance of me keeping my license.
Today I was looking at a serious disqualification of over 2 years which would have a detrimental affect on my future, well-being and day to day life.
Abdul told me to take a break whist he talked to the prosecution , which turned out to be better news (still the possibility of facing a ban but a reduced disqualification in terms of time).
I thought my world was collapsing in front of me until THIS AMAZING MAN mitigated for me and I walked out the court with my license and no ban, able to keep my job, pay my bills and provide for my kids.
If you are in this awful position, don’t hesitate to contact Mr Abdul Ali and he will get you the result you need.
Abdul, thank you very much. What a journey.
Please use Mr Abdul Ali’s services.”

-Glenn Conville

“Abdul cannot be commended enough for a most excellent result. He was engaged to attend trial literally days beforehand. Abdul was always available and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend his firm especially after such a brilliant performance in court successfully delivering the best outcome.”

-A H

“Client care, support and professional standards others should uphold themselves to. Parnell and Peel successfully negotiated me keeping my driving licence after other solicitors, a large National, left the case in tatters and an impossible position to defend. Cannot recommend highly enough.”

-Steve L

“Parnell and Peel dealt with my case and got a result that I could not have imagined was possible.
The solicitors were extremely knowledgeable about the law and handled themselves in court expertly.
If you need someone to fight for you in your corner, someone you can trust these are the guys.
It seems very daunting with the stress of a drink driving case and the serious repercussions involved. But if you trust in the process and want any chance at all of being acquitted these are the professionals you need.
Let them do the job that they are very well experienced and practiced in, and see it to the end. You stand a much greater chance of success with them on your side. It’s the best option if you want an unbelievable result like I got.
I cannot thank you enough. You have my most sincere gratitude. Thank you so much.”

-G1

“Abdul and his team provided an excellent and professional service. My daughter was traumatised by the case brought against her. Thankfully it never even went to trial. The outcome could have been very different.”

-Richard Robinson

“Absolutely fantastic result today. I was in court for failure to provide a specimen of breath. Abdul Ali was clear and helpful from start to finish. I was represented by a duty solicitor for the initial stage and I decided to seek more specialist representation. I dropped this on Abdul with around 3 weeks notice to trial. It was a very difficult and complex case and given the timeframe, I thought that he would struggle to come through. That wasn’t the case – He handled it extremely well, and he trawled through the evidence provided by the police (CCTV, Statements, Printouts etc).
He (along with another expert in this field) managed to pickup on the incompetence of the police and their procedures, and his attitude in court was fantastic. He handled the case extremely well and professionally, and the judge made his Not Guilty decision very quickly, despite the prosecution charging like a bull.
Needless to say, 11/10, I would recommend Abdul and his firm to anybody needing Specialist Representation. They are not the cheapest representation, but worth every penny. There’s also potential to claim back costs too!
Ultimately, thank you so much for your assistance with this, I understand how complex it was and the short timeframe you had. If I ever need you again for a driving offence, you’re my first call!”

-Craig Winder

“There are solicitors that make claims, and there are those that get results.
I’d always heard that once charged with driving over the prescribed limit you were always going to lose your license.
I’d been standing next to my car when the police arrived. They asked if it was my car and before I knew it I had been breathalysed, arrested and put in a police car.
Every solicitor I spoke to advised me to plead guilty to reduce my sentence.
My license was my life, my job, my family’s income.
From the moment I contacted Abdul, he was meticulous and knowledgeable with his approach to the detail around the situation.
The expertise and professionalism Abdul delivered enabled him to highlight the lack of evidence being presented and he built my confidence with his calm approach.
Abdul went above and beyond to keep me in touch and helped me to trust his process.
Ultimately the case was dismissed due to lack of evidence before we went to court.
His phone call to me advising the case had been dismissed will be a moment that will never leave my memory.
I can’t thank Abdul and his team enough and thoroughly recommend his services to anyone in a similar situation.”

-Eddie Ireland

“I recently had the unfortunate experience of being charged with drink driving, and my case was particularly severe as I was over double the legal limit. However, thanks to the exceptional services of Parnell and Peel Drink Driving Solicitors, the outcome was far better than I could have hoped for.
From the outset, Abdul, my solicitor, displayed a high level of professionalism and expertise. He thoroughly examined the details of my case and identified a technicality that ultimately led to my charges being dismissed. Abdul was incredibly efficient, managing to resolve the situation swiftly and effectively.
Throughout the process, Abdul kept me informed and reassured, making a stressful situation much more manageable. His dedication to my case and his strategic approach were key to the successful outcome.
I am extremely grateful for the support and skill demonstrated by Abdul and the team at Parnell and Peel. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend their services. They are knowledgeable, professional, and, most importantly, they get results.
Thank you, Abdul, and the entire team at Parnell and Peel, for turning a potentially life-altering incident into a resolved matter. Your expertise and commitment are greatly appreciated.”

-Phillip Okonma

“I really think 5 stars is the least Parnell and Peel Solicitors should receive, and I really can’t thank Abdul enough for the brilliant job he did in my interest. I was charged with a severe drink driving case and charged with failure to provide a specimen. The case was adjourned on three occasions as a result of the prosecutor’s seemingly determination to convict me at all costs. I had put myself into a deep hole, and everything seemed quite bleak when Abdul’s expertise and dedication turned things around.
The extent of his knowledge about the law and strategic thinking involved was absolutely unbelievable. He cared about what was at stake: not just legally, but how a conviction would affect my business by skyrocketing my insurance premiums. More importantly, he made sure that he did not leave any stone unturned by engaging the services of one of the finest consultants in the country to ensure the optimum outcome. This expert testimony proved pivotal in winning the case, but I am also convinced that the result could have been very different without Abdul’s foresight and the right connections.
He has been very professional, supportive, and clear about what is happening throughout the entire process. He kept me updated on what was happening every step of the way and ensured that I knew exactly what was going on and the options available even though I messed up at the hearing. His determination and legal acumen got the charges dropped, and my business was saved from what could have been a financial disaster.
In other words, Abdul from Parnell and Peel Solicitors is definitely one of the solicitors whom any person would desire to have on their side in times of trouble. His commitment to the client, coupled with his massive experience and ability to bring in the best-class consultants, had made all the difference in my case. I am more than grateful to have received such good hard work from Abdul and the fantastic result he has achieved on my behalf.
I was acquitted by the judge one and a half years after the case started. It was worth every dime.
Thank You, Thank you Abdul”

-Ayo.O

“Great service from Abdul and team.
I had compared and spoken to several solicitors before moving forward with Parnell and Peel, other solicitors even recommended I pleaded guilty irrespective the evidence.
Ultimately though, Abdul was successful with getting my case dropped before it even went to court!
Very happy with the result as criminal record could have had disastrous effects on my career.
He and the team where friendly, professional and very understanding to my personal (and financial) situation giving me flexibility with making payments at intervals of my choose (that I’m beyond grateful for!).
If it’s in your power and means, I would strongly encourage you to use the skills, resources and experience Abdul and the team posses.
Obviously each of our cases are different, but you absolutely want those who understand the legal landscape and how to best represent and defend you in your corner!
Thanks again for all your help.”

-Harry

“I was recommended to use Parnell and Peel Solicitors by a friend whom had previously used them.
My case I felt was in a no win situation, I was very depressed at the prospect of losing my license, but fortunately for me I decided to go ahead and plead not guilty, going by the advice given to me by Abdul. Probably the best decision I’ve ever made choosing Parnel and Peel Solicitors.
Abdul and his team were fantastic in dealing with my serious motoring case. Fantastic result with Abdul guiding me throughout. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”

-Gulfraz

“I had 9 points on my license when I stupidly picked up a hoax call when driving as a police officer was behind me. Admitted what I did in good faith hoping they’d let me off with a caution given the circumstances (but nope) so I was facing a 6 month ban and this would have had a detrimental effect on my work, clients and family. I saw the reviews about Parnell and Peel (specifically Abdul Ali) so I hired him to represent me in court.
Despite hard evidence of me doing the crime, he was able to coach and guide me through testimony and presented a cast iron argument in court for me to keep my license.
Not only that but we were in a court that is notorious for kicking the can down the road but he made an agreement with the prosecutor to solve the issue at the first hearing, which we did so it’s all over !
Walked out of court today with a £200 fine but no driving ban. I’m extremely grateful for his help as it was a stressful time but his confidence in our case provided the strength needed to plead my case to the judge.
Was the best possible result, and doubt it would have gone so smoothly and well without his services so they were worth every penny to be able to keep on working and providing !
Thank you so much Abdul!”

-Luke Hemingway

“I Found Parnell and Peel online while looking for a solicitor to help me with my case . I don’t know what made me take the decision to go with them but I couldn’t make a better choice.
My life was literally depending on my licence. The case was all over the place with CCTV evidence from the prosecution and witnesses. One day was in my favour the next was looking like I have no chance but somehow this team of brilliant people pulled through and I got to keep my licence. I don’t know what I would do without them helping and guiding me. Not to mention the fact that Abdul helped me to stay mentally strong by always being a phone call or a text away.
I would like to thank them from the bottom of my heart for their efforts and help.
I would like also to thank Paul for being an amazing barrister and wonderful human being who worked his magic in court!
Thank you Parnell and Peel.
I can’t recommend this firm enough to anyone in need of advice and help.
Thank you!”

-Silviu Mazilu

“I, Gary Hawkins, appointed Mr Ali of Parnell and Peel to look after my case after refusing a sample of breath for analysis. After a phone with Mr Ali he met me in court for which was an adjournment for him to gain all relevant paperwork. I thought I was looking at a disqualification but the work Mr Ali did was outstanding. About 5 days before I was due back in court I had a phone call from Mr Ali to say the case had been withdrawn and didn’t need to attend court. I really would recommend Parnell and Peel to anyone who has any drink drive related offences. They really are worth every penny”

-Gary Hawkins

“I recently found myself in the awful position of needing a solicitor due to drink driving. Frankly speaking, my case was difficult from the start as I had been over the limit but only moved from one space to another in a public car park at 12am (no one around) and we had to prove I wasn’t intending to leave the car park to drive home.
I initially spoke with 2 firms and had paid another firm to represent me. I wasn’t really happy with the advise and progression so contacted Parnell and Peel and spoke with Abdul. He called me on a Sunday, in the afternoon – completely unexpected as it’s unsocial hours but he went through everything in great detail and explained that nothing is 100% but we had a good chance. He explained all of the areas we could approach the case from and I was really pleased with the thoroughness and information at this point for him to proceed. I paid a deposit and sent through everything I needed to. Abdul and his team contacted me every few weeks to keep me in the loop and ask for anything extra they needed.
I had my trial today and unfortunately didn’t “win” but Abdul and I had discussed that this was likely to be the case due to the evidence (body cam and CCTV) I was so impressed with how eloquent and knowledgeable Abdul was! He understood the law around motor offenses, especially drink driving to a T! I was prepared for that outcome but much to my amazement, Abdul put in an application to suspend my disqualification as he recommended we appeal and this was accepted. I was astonished at how quickly he managed to get this sorted! It usually take weeks to get this paperwork sorted and processed, he sat on the hour break to get it all sorted for me! I was so blown away by his kindness and willingness to help me even after the trial had concluded! I have decided to use Parnell and Peel for my appeal and would have paid extra to have Abdul again!
I am not yet in a position to say I have kept my license but even if I don’t, I feel like every penny I have spent was worth it. I would recommend Abdul in particular after he managed my case. He is very empathetic and doesn’t treat you like just another client. He really is worth every penny and he will not leave any stone unturned when helping you keep your license!”

-Rebecca Spratley

“I was in a difficult position, charged with drink drive. I contacted a number of firms who were all negative about my chances. I came across this firm Parnell and Peel, opened their website and read the review’s. I then contacted Parnell and Peel and spoke to Abdul. First word from him, with confidence, ‘I want you to keep your driving licence’. Right from the first conversation I was sure that Abdul and his team were the right lawyers to defend me.
After a long 4 months Abdul persuaded the CPS to discontinue the matter and i didn’t even have to attend the court. I am absolutely overjoyed with the service provided by Abdul and his team. Fantastic throughout. Money well Spent. Thanks again to Abdul and his team.”

-Ali Mohammed

“It was really a great to connect with Abdul Ali (Parnell and Peel Solicitors) who had taken up my case in the beginning and provided me a competent barrister from his team i.e. Mukesh Sohal. I had the pleasure of working with Barrister Mukesh Sohal on my traffic case, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his expertise and dedication. From the beginning, Abdul Ali and Mukesh showed a deep understanding of the intricacies of traffic law, and he was incredibly thorough in preparing my case. His communication was clear and reassuring, keeping me informed every step of the way and addressing all my concerns with patience.
In court, Mukesh’s strategic approach and confidence made a significant difference, and his commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me was evident. Thanks to his efforts, the case was resolved favorably, and I am extremely appreciative of his professionalism and skill. I would highly recommend Mukesh Sohal to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate barrister for legal representation.”

-Ambrish Tiwari

“Fantastic service from beginning to the end. Abdul and his team were amazing. A few bumps along the way, but ultimately the Parnell team saved my driving licence. I was terrified throughout but Abdul calm and confident manner put me at ease. The court despite being unfair found me not guilty of Drink Drive.”

-Michael Odaji

“I knew I was going to lose my license, so I contacted Abdul to mitigate for me and get me the best possible outcome – which he did and it was better than I expected! He went above and beyond to try get me the best result he could.
I would 100% recommend Abdul and the Parnell and Peel team to anyone who was in a similar situation to myself.”

“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. At times it felt like not much was being done, but rest assured a lot of work was going on behind the scenes. At one point I wasn’t sure about continuing with the case, but Abdul rightly proved that we still had a chance.
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.”

-Archie

“I cant put to words the help and understanding from Parnell and Peel Solicitors. I was stopped for Drink Driving, and my Breath reading was 0.95. I was terrified and spoke to a number of different firms. As soon as I spoke to Abdul I was more confident. Throughout the 4 months, Abdul kept me updated, and I was thrilled when the prosecution offered no evidence. Abdul is a fantastic lawyer and great at his job. Thank you so much.”

-Lee Elliott

“On the 23rd of March I thought my life had changed forever after being caught for drink driving. As what I do for a living requires me to have a licence, plus I have a house and kids that depend on my income. I thought my case was pretty straight forward didn’t understand how I would overcome this charge. Spoke with a few firms in shear panic trying to find one that would defend me rather than advise me to plead GUILTY which many do!
After speaking to Abdul who was realistic as well as reassuring I trusted in his firm Parnell & Peel to defend me for my upcoming trial. My case was very much black and white no grey areas. Its simple its either they provide the evidence, in my case was CCTV and it shows procedure was followed, in which case I don’t have a defence or it shows there is a technicality in which we can defend. What I didn’t bank on was the cps failing to provide any evidence. Abdul made a call to get my case dropped a few days before my trial.
I’ll be very honest with you there were times I would call Abdul panicking concerned, anxious, nervous he knew how much keeping my licence meant to me and he always remained calm and told me to trust the process which is hard to do when you don’t know what’s going on in the background but trust me Parnell & Peel are the real deal!
Trust in them and they will do everything in their power to save your licence for you too!
Cant thank you enough!”

-Richie Clarke

“Thank you to Abdul and his team. He was very professional and available at all hours. He would make himself available even at unsocial hours. I was stopped for Drink Driving, and he advised me to plead not guilty. Best decision I made as the CPS did not disclose any Video footage and on the day the officer did not turn up. Abdul made a fantastic application, and the Judge agreed against giving an adjournment, and I kept my licence.”

-Gill Mather

“Thanks Abdul , for assisting in retaining my Licence as I had totted up points to 12, and needed my car for running my business , Abdul offers a professional service from start to successful completion.”

-Malcolm Harris

“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.”

-Waarisha Iffat

“They have done the impossible. I got caught drink driving, I thought I would lose my license, however Abdul Ali insisted that I had a case. I just decided to take the risk. It went a lot better than I could have ever imagined. He managed to drop my case before it got to the second trial, the whole experience was very smooth and he was very positive and uplifting throughout the whole process. Just trust them and leave them to do their job. THEY WILL SORT IT. Will recommend them to everyone!”

-Mani Sameni

“The best service. I had already been to court once and pleaded guilty for drink driving before reaching out to Abdul & his team. I wasn’t 100% happy with my previous solicitors but knew the moment I spoke to Abdul that it was the right choice to take him and his team on to keep my drivers license. I was able to keep the same barrister and during my second hearing my case was reopened and was able to plead not guilty. We were then given a case management hearing in which the CPS offered no evidence. Thank you so much to everyone at Parnell & Peel. Nothing was ever any bother and Abdul was more than happy to get back to me answering any questions I had in a timely manner. After a daunting 10 months of back and forth, the nightmare is finally over and I can now move on with my life. Thank you so much, I couldn’t believe it when I got the call through saying it was all over with.”

-Glesni Jones

“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 exactly 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.”

-Leonard. A

“I am exceptionally grateful for Abdul and his knowledge and expertise. The entire experience with the police was distressing however Abdul was conscientious, accessible at all times and treated me with kindness and compassion. Abdul has been fantastic throughout, he was assertive and showed he absolutely knows what he is talking about at the pre- trial hearing and he has managed to get the case dropped.
Thank you so much Abdul, money well-spent.”

-Alex Dorotiak

Their expertise and attention to detail was evident throughout the entire process, and they consistently exceeded my expectations. The lawyers at Parnell and Peel were relentless in their pursuit of justice, and their aggressive defence strategy was nothing short of remarkable.

I am incredibly grateful for everything that Parnell and Peel did for me, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a competent and dedicated legal team.

-Ellen

“Thank you to Abdul and his team. I can’t believe I kept my licence after I failed to provide a breath sample. I am so grateful, without my licence I would lose everything as I am a mechanic. I don’t usually write reviews but on this occasion I want all to know how brilliant Abdul is.”

“Can’t recommend Abdul and his team enough. Even when I taught there was nothing I could Abdul reassured he would do everything he could. Very professional and were always at the other end of the phone. Received the best outcome there is and kept my license.”

-Kevin Murray

“Drink Driving – Not Guilty
Before starting I’d like to mention, I am usually not one to drop reviews online. However after my dealing with Abdul, The Parnell and Peel team, and Barrister Ashley Barns (at trial 1)- I am compelled.
I reached out to Abdul last September- after being disappointed by other solicitors not being able to help (I suspect it mostly due to them not having the expertise)- and claiming I should plead guilty (what an absolute mistake that would have been).
My first conversion with Abdul filled me with confidence. This is a man who knows what he’s talking about. Very approachable, has a wealth of knowledge, and most importantly will tailor his approach according to your requirements. He was always at the end of line; even though his schedule is packed back-to-back. This is especially true before my first trial, when I was understandably quite nervous. He provided much need words of comfort (please note this is comfort, not guarantee. As In cases like these not much is guaranteed – much like life).
Abdul appointed Barrister Ashley Barnes for trial date, and without getting into the detail, Ashley completely wiped the floor with the prosecution. Causing the police officer to fumble his words and go back on what he had claimed (which is obviously not a great look for the prosecution). Because of the careful preparation and guidance provided by Abdul (including always laying out the options available ahead of time), Barrister Barnes (‘real life Harvey Spectre’- quoting another review I read regarding him online, prior to my trial) was able to demonstrate that the prosecution did not have a leg to stand on. He did this by dismantling the documentation they had provided as evidence (MGDDA).
After 20 mins of deliberation, all three magistrates decided in my favour. I now have my licence, no criminal record, and can carry on my life. Lesson of course learned, and truly feel like I have got a second chance.
I would whole heartedly recommend Abdul and the Parnell and Peel team to all around me. These guys are real life heroes.”

-ZG

“The team at Parnell & Peel Solicitors have an unparalleled understanding of the law in the areas of their speciality, but more importantly, are sympathetic to clients’ situations. An experienced, dynamic and client-led team with Abdul at the helm, clients can be assured of years of experience coming together in support of their cases. A really knowledgeable and great team of legal experts!”

-Arthur

“I would recommend Parnell and Peel and Abdul Ali. He was helpful, courteous and detailed in his command of the legal knowledge. He pointed out how the prosecution weren’t following their code of conduct and how there were many specific flaws in their case. This resulted in the case against me being dropped at the last minute.”

-Adam Moffatt

“I am a professional driver and I was so worried it was making me ill. I spoke to a number of solicitors who told me to plead guilty. Abdul was the only one who informed me that I had a chance of keeping my licence. It was a lot of money at the time, but the fact that I saved my licence it was all worth. So happy I spoke to Abdul when I did. I fear that if I hadn’t I would now have ruined my life.”

-Mark Johnson

“Abdul was brilliant to work with. Answered all calls and texts with helpful information and on the day of court he got me the outcome I wanted.

-Ismail Ali

“From the beginning Abdul reassured me and explained to me I had a good case. I was worried sick about how the future would be.

“Parnell and Peel, founded by Abdul, are extremely professional and excellent in what they do. I contacted Abdul 2 days before my Drunk in charge hearing. He was very prompt, reassuring and took up my case in a short notice. He attended and helped me get a trial on my first hearing. Over the months, while I was awaiting trial, he kept me updated about my case on a regular basis. He also sent me the relevant documents which he needed over time. I felt he was more into my case than myself. On the day of trial, I was represented by Ashley Barnes, one of the lawyers from this firm. He was excellent and went with me through the entire case and questions I might face in details. Ashley defended me thoroughly in the court from the strong questions of the prosecutors. Also he got me the most out of what I could have got from the case. Thoroughly recommend Parnell and Peel for defending any sort of motoring offences specially the drink case.”
