“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!”
