Great Support!

5

Incredibly grateful to John for the exceptional support and expertise he provided throughout my drug driving case.Very professional, understanding, and reassuring. Always took the time to explain the legal process clearly, making sure I was informed at every step. His knowledge of the law and my case were obvious, and I felt confident knowing I had such a skilled solicitor on my side. Thanks to JHR hard work, attention to detail, and expert strategy, my case was successfully won in Nov 2024. I cannot recommend enough for anyone in need of a dedicated and experienced legal professional. Thank you for giving me a second chance 👍🏼

Recent court case

5

I was charged with driving without due care and attention and failing to stop and report a traffic accident. The police said they had an independent witness and dash-cam footage proving I had hit the other car and that their evidence was so strong I would have to plead guilty. The level of the alleged injury and damage meant that I could be disqualified, get points and pay fines and cost and possibly lose my job.

I contacted John and he took my case. Most people do not know that the police must follow certain laws and procedures when investigating an alleged offence and prosecuting someone. The CPS too must follow the law as they too have time limits on what they do.

On the day of my trial one of John’s team, Alex, represented me in Court. Before any witnesses gave evidence he completely destroyed the police investigation and exposed their failings so much so that the Magistrates threw out the entire case against me.

No matter how much the police tell you that you are wrong and they are right I would recommend that before doing anything you speak to John first and trust in him and his team.

Thank you John and Alex.

Since my first dealings with John I found him to be reassuringly experienced in all aspects of my case and he was quickly able to determine the most likely outcome despite facing some irregularities in the notice of prosecution. John is very straight but personable which built a level of trust immediately based on the confidence I had gained in our discussions from the outset.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend John for any traffic offence based on my dealings with him and I believe him and his services offer value for money and peace of mind.

I was facing a case of Driving without due care, and a possible totting up ban, the first thing i did was search for specialist driving solicitors in my area and Johns name came up with great reviews. And i can see why!. From the initial phone call i knew john was the right man to take on my case, he was very reassuring and honest and talked through all the possible outcomes.
After meeting john face to face, He attended my police interview with me and after months of waiting for the police to take action I received the best possible outcome and one which i can only thank john for his help.

July 2022

I received a summons from the police alleging I had driven through a red light - 1.5 seconds into the Red

I knew I hadn’t committed the offence so I decided to fight the claim rather than take the 3 points and see my insurance costs go up in the future - and lose my clean driving license

After much research I found John.

John dealt with my case very professionally, conducted his own research and it transpired the AI linked to the camera had 2nd guessed one of the number plate letters and it wasn’t even my car - shocking this is happening in the U.K.

The police sent me a letter last week advising their had been a ‘clerical mistake ‘ and the case was dropped, this is all down to Johns diligent work

I don’t normally do reviews but felt compelled to let people know just how good John actually is, he handled everything and we won.

Preston Magistrates Court

Drink Driving Offence

I rang John after searching on google as I didn’t have a clue. I was a distraught mother who thought her son would go to prison. This was his first offence and we’d never been in this situation before. I rang John and he didn’t judge me. He spoke to my son and was fully supportive and reassuring. He always made time to discuss my son’s circumstance. As my son is self employed, loosing his licence for a lengthy time could have made the business collapse. We got the best outcome possible due to having John’s guidance. He ran the case from start to finish and even travelled to Preston. He gave my son and myself advice on what to expect in court. After, John still gave advice on how to apply to get his license back on time.
I would definitely recommend John as a solicitor. He deserves five stars and more if it was possible. If I needed a solicitor in the future, John would be the one.

A big thank you to everyone at JHR SOLICITORE specially John Ruane the managing director for helping me keep my license and more importantly avoiding lengthy unwanted criminal record ,your guys are simply the best no doubt about that !! in February last year I got arrested for a driving offence I then got told that I should get a letter within a few months for my blood test , after 6 months for waiting for the letter I finally got it and got charged. At this point I thought I was gonna lose my license and even my job due to criminal record that automatically comes with drug driving convictions. A friend mine recommended JHR solicitors as he used the company previously in a similar case that resulted in acquittal,I got contacted John ruane after giving me initial advice i knew he was the man I needed in my corner I can’t thank him enough for agreeing to take on my case,from the start to the end he was very professional, helpful and efficient in every single way he prepared my defense and appointed the best barrister in the country to represent me at the trial mr John Dye, on trial day after after lengthy legal arguments CPS decided to offer no evidence and the judge formally dismissed all charges against me , you guys are simply the best solicitors in the game I recommend JHR Soliceters to anyone these guys they are the real deal . Once again thank you so so much I really appreciate all the hard work you all put in to achieve this great results for me.
