Thank you!
A truly remarkable company. MAJ saved my son from a potential prison sentence, and I will never be able to thank them enough for the support they gave in such an awful, turbulent time. I am a true believer in you get what you pay for, and I just thank my lucky stars that we were able to afford their representation when a family friend stepped in to help us out financially. I honestly don't believe id be sitting here writing this with my son next to me if it weren’t for them.
We are all eternally grateful and will pass on your details to ANYONE who is need of assistance for a motoring offence. Thank you x

Smashed it out the park
I rang MAJ and spoke to Conor Johnstone who gave me some brilliant advice on how to handle a drug driving charge. As the offence was in Dumfries he explained that they couldn’t act for us as some legislation is different in Scotland - however the advice he was able to give was so much more solid than anything I’d heard up here so I just thought sc*ew it and I went with it! Took myself off to court and the case was dropped within 30 minutes! I was ecstatic!
I know these guys can’t act for us living in Scotland, however they are definitely top of their game and anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation should definitely give them a call, even if it’s just for advice!
Very Neesley Done!!

Wonderful.
I have never been so eager to leave a review as I am to review this firm.
The professionalism and dedication of the team at MAJ was exceptional. Despite probably dealing with hundreds of cases a day, it felt like they personally took the time to understand the broader context of my situation and offered tailored solutions. Nothing was ever too much trouble and each person I spoke to was equally as knowledgeable and professional. Even the admin team were extremely friendly and helpful. I’ve had many a laugh with Sue and Neil throughout the duration of this case.
Whether you're facing a minor motoring offence or a more serious matter, I would urge you to get in contact with MAJ Law. Their in-depth knowledge of the law, combined with their exceptional client service and track record of success, makes them an invaluable partner in navigating these kinds of legal challenges. They have certainly earned my trust and my highest recommendation!
Thank you so much for your outstanding support and for helping me move past this difficult situation with such a positive result! I will absolutely be passing on your details. Fantastic.
I wish you all the very best. Macca x

Exceptional Hardship
MAJ Law went above and beyond for my exceptional hardship case. Not only did they craft a rock-solid argument to keep me on the road, but they also showed genuine care for my family’s well-being. They understood the impact a ban would have on my loved ones and fought tirelessly to protect us. Professional, compassionate, and absolutely brilliant at what they do—I can’t thank them enough! If you need expert motoring law advice, look no further. I will be eternally grateful for all their help.

Thank you so much, Conor.
I can't thank Conor enough for the incredible support and expertise he provided during one of the most stressful times of my life. Facing a drug driving charge was overwhelming. I genuinely thought my license, my job, and my future were all on the line. From the very first call he put me at ease. He didn’t sugarcoat things but was straight-up honest about my options, the potential outcomes, and what we could do to build the strongest possible case.
What really stood out was how much he actually cared. He wasn’t just another solicitor going through the motions—he took the time to understand my situation, explained everything in a way that made sense and made sure I knew what to expect at every stage. No question was too small, no detail overlooked.
When it came to the hearing, Conor was an absolute professional. He was calm, confident, and knew exactly how to handle the case. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, I got the best possible outcome—something I honestly didn’t think was even possible when this all started.
If you're facing a drug driving charge and feel like the world is crashing down, do yourself a favor and call MAJ. They are not just outstanding solicitors, they genuinely want to help people get through these tough situations. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Thank you, Conor, for everything!

BAM!
I can’t thank this firm enough for getting me through one of the most stressful times of my life. Got pulled over late at night, routine stop, and bam—tested positive for cannabis. Blood test came back at 3.2 (the limit’s 2.0, so barely over, but still enough to get charged). Thought I was absolutely —job on the line, license at risk, the works.
From day one, these guys knew their stuff. No judgment, just straight-up solid advice. They spotted issues with the police procedure (turns out my blood sample wasn’t stored properly—major win) and fought tooth and nail to get the case dropped. Communication was top-notch too—no legal mumbo-jumbo, just clear explanations and a solid plan.
I was bracing myself for a 12-month ban, a fine, maybe even worse, but in the end? Case dismissed. Absolute legends. If you’re in a tight spot with a motoring offence, don’t even think twice—these are the people you want in your corner. 🚗💨

Professional and Reassuring throughout.
Top-notch legal team! From the moment I got in touch with Connor, he was professional, reassuring, and totally on the ball. The team looked at every detail of my case and found ways to minimise the impact on my life and make everything easier. I honestly don’t think I’d have had such a good outcome without them. They don’t just see you as another case number—they actually care and do everything they can to help. Highly recommend if you’re facing a drink driving charge!

Got me out of a nightmare!
I had an absolute mare of a situation and got caught up in a drug driving case and had no clue what to do. Conor wasnt like a solicitor, he gave straight hard facts and was a normal bloke with a decent sense of humour and I clicked with him straight away. When I explained the offence and that I had previous convictions his response was "oh dear, well you've got yourself in a bit of a pickle haven't you, guess we'll have to sort it out!" and I knew he was my guy from that point. He was super knowledgeable and actually cared about helping me. A genuinely great guy and seriously good at his job. Never made me feel inferior to him or like a fool. If you’re in trouble with drink or drugs, these are your guys. Real people and real results.

Highly Recommend this firm!
I cannot thank Conor and the team at MAJ enough for their exceptional handling of my recent drink driving case, which was finally closed at trial on Thursday. From the moment I contacted them, I felt supported and understood. Everyone was incredibly professional, transparent, and took the time to explain the legal process in a way that made everything much less overwhelming. Their attention to detail was impeccable, and their guidance on instructing an expert to secure a better outcome was the best decision as it won the case. After trial, they provided valuable advice on how to move forward (aka don't do it again!) and I was able to apply to have some of the costs recovered.
I am truly grateful for their guidance during what was a very difficult time. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance—especially for something as serious as a drink driving charge.
