“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.”
