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.

Totally stress free
Dealing with a speeding charge that could have potentially cost me my licence was overwhelming, but Conor made it a stress-free experience. He offered expert advice, handled everything with professionalism, and got me a much better outcome than I expected. Worth every penny!

Great advice and support
Thank you so much to Connor and Tom for all of their helpful advice and ongoing support throughout my drug driving case. They were both only ever a phone call away and I never felt like I was asking a silly question. I got a great result, better than I could have hoped. Wouldn’t hesitate to pass on their details to anyone I know in the same situation.

10/10!
They did it! What an amazing Christmas present! I have been beside myself for WEEKS worrying about a mobile phone offence which I absolutely was not guilty of. I had 6 points already and another 6 would have meant my license would have been taken off me. I have so much planned over Christmas and not driving just wasn't an option, it would have ruined everything. If I was guilty then I'd have to accept it, but the police officer got it completely wrong. I thank my lucky stars that I found MAJ and was put in touch with Conor. They absolutely know what they are doing, and I could not be happier with their service. 10/10. Thank you!

Great Firm!
Came across this firm's video on TikTok and a week later I got stopped for drink driving. Luckily I remembered them and immediately got in touch. Conor gave me some brilliant advice over the phone and was very confident that I had a full defence to the charge. I instructed them and the case was dropped just before trial as the witness could not attend to provide evidence in court. I highly recommend Conor and the team at MAJ Law if you are in need of legal advice for road traffic offences.

Thank you!
I had a really good experience with the team at MAJ. Everyone was always on the ball and made me feel welcome as I had to go into the office a few times for interviews and conferences. Neil at the front desk was lovely and very accommodating and Conor always greeted me with a big smile on his face. It was a complicated case which went on for a while, but in the end, we got a fantastic result of a not guilty verdict. I honestly could not be happier. Thank you for everything!

Best legal firm around
Amazing representation once again by the best legal firm there is. Another drink driving charge squashed in no time with the least amount of stress. These boys (and girls) know what they're doing (although I have only had contact with Conor, Tom, Harry and Jack). All of whom have always been consistent and professional in every aspect. Thank you once again for all your help and support. I highly recommend MAJ if you are looking for legal advice for a driving offence.
