Tom Cooke at Portsmouth Magistrates
Cannot thanks Tom enough for his professional yet calming approach to this morning proceedings.
He was very clear about what was going to happen and acted in a manner that helped to calm us down.
His understanding of the proceedings and arguments in our defence redoubtably aided a fair outcome
