When you are being prosecuted you need to hire someone who knows the law well enough to represent you so that you don't get hit even harder that you deserve.
It happens all the time, the (throwing the book at you method). The book hurts.
The police and CPS like to escalate charges.
If you don't have a representative who knows what might happen.
I had a solicitor from another firm before, same case. His representation was discontinued and I hired a lady from Richard Nelson LLP.
She made sure the law remained honest, I was given a consequence that matched my offence not a hugely escalated sentence that would have been unfair.
She knows things like what sentencing guidelines the court are empowered with and made a point to the court that they accepted which otherwise would have left me in a position where I would no doubt have been prosecuted again in future.
Eve Paterson skillfully negotiated the safe zone between there should be a consequence and escalated charges to make it sound worse than it was.
In my very humble opinion,if you are going into a courtroom without her good luck.
But if I had a choice I would use Richard Nelson.
Eve if possible.
