I was represented by ZMS regarding an unfortunate knife incident (an accident) that took place in my house with a house mate. The Duty solicitor representing me was Yakesh Tanna. Prior to questioning I went through the incident with Yakesh. Right from the start, Yakesh helped me to understand the gravity of the situation, by explaining everything to me. In the time spent with him I came to realise that Yakesh was incredibly articulate, well spoken, personable, and someone who had extensive experience in criminal law. He appeared to instinctively understand the situation. I realised quickly that he was interested in the best outcome for me. As well as been conventional in his way of thinking, he also takes a wider view, and can think laterally. For example, he recommended that, in the Police interview I mention my friendship with house mate, my extensive academic background, the fact I had never been involved in a crime before and my ambitions to complete my Computing BSc(hons) and eventually do an MSc and then a PhD in Computer Science, specialising in Artificial Intelligence. I didn’t realise at the time why this was important but it later occurred to me that it was so I could show I was of good character and demonstrate in the interview that I was a valuable member of society and not a bad person. Doing some research, I did go to other solicitors as I didn’t know how good Yakesh was. All the solicitors agreed he was very good and professional. Speaking to other solicitors re-enforced my confidence in Yakesh. My own internet research also revealed that Yakesh had over 24 years’ experience in Criminal Law.
Yakesh clearly explained the process, and advised me not to worry, until I have been informed by Police about the outcome. He was always able to take my calls and answer my questions, and address any concerns and gave me the feeling that he really wanted the best outcome for me. Further to the investigation and after some time waiting the Police decided on no further action (NFA).
Soon after the incident I informed my University and they suspended me. I was expecting this to be for an indefinite period of time and tried to reason with them to allow me to continue as a distance learner but I had no money for a solicitor and without a solicitor to represent me, the gravity of my pleas had no weight. I couldn’t believe it when Yakesh called me up one day and said he would get one of the solicitors (Simon) at the Office to write to the University for free, to request they allow me to continue my studies from home (distance learning). Amazingly, the University agreed. I’d already missed 6 weeks of my Second term, but soon caught up and ended up with a 1st for my second year. I am forever grateful to ZMS, Yakesh and Simon for their help. Furthermore, it didn’t cost me a penny.

Hearing at Loughborough Magistrates Court
Simon was well prepared and stood my corner in the court room with the upmost professionalism.
In my opinion and other family members, we felt that the police should never have taken further action against me, following an altercation with my brother.
My brother was determined to be as horrible as possible, and we fear that he his still waiting and plotting something unsavoury, we are now having to consider taking an injunction against him, I never want anything to do with my brother again.
A big thanks to Simon and his team and doing such a great job. Would highly recommend.

Thank for ZMS
After working in the care industry for over 35 years to be asked to come to an interview at a police station was very stressful. Especially as a person complained to the police about something that happened 20 years ago. Knowing you are innocent is no consolation when two female police officers talk to you as if you are a criminal. ZMS and in particular, Simon Mears the solicitor that attended the voluntary interview with me made me feel more in control and gave me excellent advice on how to conduct myself through out the interview. ZMS kept me informed about the progress to the CPS and the eventual dismissal of the case with no further action. Without Simon I probably would have been more angry and said things out of turn, so I thank him for his patience and wise guidance.
