Great Firm!

5

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!

5

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

5

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.

Exceptional Customer Service

5

I am overwhelmed by the exemplary customer service I received from MAJ Law throughout the duration of by drink driving case.

On Friday, we finally got the not guilty verdict which the team have been working so hard towards. There was a lot of evidence, but the case was finally dropped after the nurse witness failed to attend the final trial. Her evidence was crucial to a conviction. 3 months, 3 court dates and lots of tears later but we finally got there.

I cannot thank Conor and the team enough for everything they have done throughout the last few months. They are absolute experts in this area of law but they are also real, genuine people who are rooting for you to get the best outcome. Anytime that I was stressed they were only a phone call away, and they always provided reassurance.

Excellent law firm. I will 100% be recommending their services.

They got to work straight away and if ever I was stressed, they were only a phone call away to reassure me.

Excellent law firm. I will definitely be recommending their services.

Grandma Dee!

5

I wanted to leave a review to express how thankful I am to Conor Johnstone specifically for how he handled a situation with my Grandma Dee! She is 77 and thought she had gone through a red light. She is naturally a worrier and wouldn't be told by any of us that the overall likelihood of her being prosecuted is extremely slim. She wanted to hear from the experts to calm her down. Conor was absolutely lovely on the phone and my Grandma spoke of him as a "charming and a very charismatic gentleman!". He actually went on google maps and all sorts to see if he could see any red-light cameras where she was that evening. He really went out of his way and I'm sure he had much more important cases to deal with that day than my Grandma worrying whether she might have gone through a red light on a country road! Thank you so much for putting her mind at rest and being so kind. It really is the little things!

A tremendous effort

5

Tremendous effort by the best legal firm there is! Managed to get my dangerous driving charge reduced down from a lengthy driving ban to points and a small fine! I knew there was no chance of it getting fully dropped so this was the best possible outcome that could have happened in this situation and they did it! I am more than happy and the effort and work which was put in was outstanding. Communication from Jake and Conor was consistent and everyone was extremely helpful and friendly. Thanks guys. Will definitely pass on your details.

Kept my license

5

Connor made everything easy to understand and took the stress out of a very difficult and stressful situation. Him and his team were very professional, attentive, and their dedication to getting a good outcome was clear. Thanks to them, I got a fantastic result and managed to keep my driving license with no criminal record. I would definitely use them again.

The best.

The BEST drink driving legal firm. I have had 3 cases with MAJ now and each time Conor Johnstone has been my solicitor and has got them all dropped. This company genuinely care and want the best for all there clients. You can tell by the effort they put in and how they fight for you in court. Another great result from Conor on Thursday. I will continue to recommend. Awesome.

Stick it out!

5

I was arrested for drink driving and being almost twice over the limit. I was upset with myself for being so selfish and the thought now that I could have been one of those people who seriously injured or killed an innocent person because of my actions haunts me. I searched on the internet and found MAJ and rang them based on the solid reviews they have. The road was long and at times turbulent, and there were occasions where I was begging to plead guilty because I just wanted to get on with my life, even if that meant no license. But Conor, as tenacious as he is, told me to power through and stick it out. Wow how right he was and how glad I am that I did! At the 3rd trial, I was found not guilty and my case was dropped. He was absolutely right. This is why they're the best! Thank you so much for guiding me and for saving my license. I will be forever grateful!
