Driving Ban Appeal

I was banned from driving till 29/7/25. John McLeod lodged an appeal for me asking if the Court would consider shortening it by 1 year to 29/7/24. It went before a Judge on 16/5/24 who lifted it there and then, so beyond my best expectations!
That's the second time John has represented me, first in 2017, and he is a delight to work with and has a lovely sense of humour.

Free soul solicitor able to face the court without hesitation

John is very informative very detailed and caring solicitor who listened well and made all efforts to support me.
His appearance and confidence made the statement of this is a man who won the case and not to be challenged in the court
Really wish you all the best John and honoured to write few words about you

Recent Criminal Case

I would not hesitate to recommend Paul Barnett to anyone who finds themselves in the unfortunate position of appearing in Court. He was professional and courteous throughout and kept me fully aware of the proceedings. In the end he secured the right result for me in Court which would otherwise have been disastrous for me. I thank him for his reassurance at a very anxious time. I hope not to require the services of a criminal solicitor again but would not hesitate to use George Mathers & Company in the future.

Awful location. Was booked for a time and sorted out getting to the organisation and then last minute told that they cannot do it and had just one option and they knew that i had no choice due to lack of time for deadline and had to rearrange and take my children out of school to meet with their rigid times and to get to the appointment as there was no compassion for their fault.
