I was involved in accident back in 2020, where I had been convicted of careless driving. 3 years later I received the final court date. Thanks to this team and the help of others. I can finally rest knowing I'm finally free and not guilty. No charges were made, no need to plea for a lesser charge, no points were removed. All thanks to the dedication of this firm.
