PCD Solicitors Ltd

Very poor experience. Misinformed and misadvised. Marcus (the senior director) seemed really good at first (beware), but once a contract was in place, customer service was awful and despite painting a really bleak picture, the case was dropped with no charges after a short period of time. Much better firms offering much better advice and value for money. PCD took £12,000 for a couple of emails. Look elsewhere or pay a lot of money for very little work or benefit.

I dealt with Marcus (the executive director). Very attentive before you sign the contract, but really focussed on the worst outcomes, to scare you. Only recommends a very expensive all inclusive package, which only benefits PCD. As soon as you sign, the service is appalling. I would avoid this company at all costs, spent £12,000 for probably £2000 worth of work.

In 2022, I was falsely accused of abuse, and it ruined my life. The allegation was made by my ex partner. We had been separated 7 years and the rumours began spreading when I met my current wife. I couldn't understand why this was happening or why she would do this. When I finally got to the bottom of it, someone had told her that I had met my current wife whilst I was still with my ex, and that we had an ongoing affair for a number of years. This was completely untrue, but even if it were true, it shouldn't warrant that type of malicious behaviour where you could potentially send somebody to jail. I knew I had to seek legal advice as I have seen too many of these stories on the news, and innocent men being sent down for life sentences. I had to protect myself and my family.

I researched online and found PCD Solicitors, which was handy as it was also a local firm. I first met with Marcus a week after our initial phone call and instantly I was put at ease knowing his high success rate with cases similar to mine. The evidence all came to light when my ex wife phone was sent to forensics and messages were recovered between her and a few friends with their 'take down' plan. Although this took a harrowing 6 months and I was on pins the whole time, not knowing what was going to happen or whether I was going to be going to prison for something I hadn't done. Throughout the entire case, Marcus was never more than a phone call away, he ensured that I was promptly updated with any progress on the case and was there for reassurance when the panic really set in.

I honestly cannot thank you enough for getting me through this awful time. You are a truly remarkable person. Thank you.

I cannot thank Marcus enough for the tremendous support he has provided for myself and my wife through this extremely difficult time. Finally after what seems like a lifetime, the charges against me were dropped and no further action is being taken. This is all down to Marcus and his relentless efforts in making sure I got the verdict I deserved. Again, words just are not enough to express how much you have helped us. I will always be eternally grateful.

Just wanted to give a huge thank you to Marcus for all your help and support throughout what has been an extremely difficult time. You have been so understanding throughout the whole process and extremely supportive with my entire family. I am eternally grateful.

I appointed Marcus after reading about the work he did in the Daily Mail. Marcus and his team represent people charged with serious offences. Unfortunately I fell into that category.

PCD solicitors got to work right away. My case had already been under investigation for over 9 months with little to no progress. During that time I had another local firm dealing with the police. I assumed they were doing their best to get the case dropped but I was wrong. Marcus explained that most cases are won before suspects are charged. I didn’t think there was anything that could be done but Marcus explained that we could contact the police and get a head start.

Exactly 8 weeks after I instructed PCD my case was discontinued by the police. I was not charged and did not need to attend court. I dread to think what would have happened had I done nothing.

Thank you to Marcus and his team!

Thank you to everyone involved in my case.

I had previously instructed another criminal solicitor who was local to my area (North Yorkshire) who told me that there wasn’t enough evidence to support a not guilty plea. A charge of this nature would have affected my employment and would have had massive consequences. I felt as though my case was not being taken as seriously as it should, and that it was too much work to take on so they were just telling me to go guilty. It just didn’t feel right in my gut so I went back and did some more research and found PCD. I had a completely difference experience even from the initial phone call. Straight away Marcus but my fears at ease and spoke to me like a normal human being, rather than belittling me and making me feel like I had no hope. Marcus did an incredible job and I have nothing but respect for him. The closed with no further action. 5 stars isn’t enough!

PCD Solicitors fight for justice. If you’re innocent, these are the lawyers for you. I owe my life to them.

Police arrested me and treated me like criminal. Split me up from my children. Lost my job. 12 months investigation but PCD Solicitors got case stopped. I knew nothing of images. CPS decided no action after marcus took legal action. Best law firm ever. Now looking at compensation from plice
