Exceptional Service – Highly Recommended

5

I recently sought the services of this solicitor firm regarding a case involving exceptional hardship for a tottering driving licence issue. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of excellent.

The team demonstrated outstanding professionalism, efficiency, and expertise in handling my case. They were incredibly knowledgeable, practical, and ensured clear, seamless communication throughout the process. This made what could have been a stressful and challenging situation far easier to navigate.

Their approach was fast, thorough, and effective, showing that they truly know their job. I felt well-supported at every stage, and I am extremely grateful for the positive outcome achieved.

I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of reliable, skilled, and supportive legal services.

Thank you once again for your exceptional assistance. Thank you John and Alex.

After searching for days and speaking with many solicitors I decided to go with JHR. From the beginning, John was straight to the point, discussing different options on how we could get the best possible result. He was upfront and honest about the likely outcomes and wasn’t trying to sell me any dreams like other solicitors were. He took plenty of time with me and wasn’t pushing me to make any decisions. All throughout I was able to speak directly with John over the phone or email, answering any questions I had promptly. Already having 3 points on my license as a new driver, I was facing either 10 points or a disqualification up to 6 months which would’ve led to me retaking my driving tests and losing my job. I was buzzing with the end result which was only a 28 day ban! After thinking I was getting a ban of up to 6 months or having to retake my test, to get that result I was over the moon. Johns representation allowed me to get back on the roads within a month, keep my job as an apprentice and not have to retake my driving tests. If you’re looking for a solicitor who’s honest, knowledgeable, easy to contact and realistic about your outcomes, Johns your man.

Great Support!

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 👍🏼

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.
