PCD Solicitors Ltd

I would like to thank the PCD team they have been absolutely amazing and professional in every way with this case .

This type of allegation is soul destroying they helped prove my innocents with no further action.

Marcus Johnstone, and his team, are dedicated specialists within their area of defence law. I highly recommend PCD Solicitors for accurate, expert and prompt legal advice. Marcus, went the extra mile, and corresponded emails to my employer, in an attempt to prevent my employer from terminating my contract. Thank you.

I received allegations in the post from the police, these came out of nowhere. These allegations dated back 30 years ago… i wasn’t even in the country at the time. Marcus helped me with my case, and I walked free. Didn’t have to attend court, once police realised there was a mistake

Had a great experience with this firm. Was facing minor offences built on ‘claims’ and Marcus helped me walk away . Not guilt

Marcus seemed pleasant on first meeting him, but he completely scared me witless about what might happen, when the Police actually dropped my case within six weeks of appointing Marcus. In that time he wrote one email. At the outset he said he strongly recommended I took the all inclusive £12000 package as this would be in my best interests. It wasn't, he probably did £300 of work for me yet charged me £12,000. His advice only benefitted PCD

I was arrested for images. I didn't have a solicitor at the police station because I was confused. I then contacted a couple of firms advertising online but they didn't give me confidence. I was recommended to PCD. I contacted PCD and had an almost immediate call back. Marcus spent about 90 minutes with me discussing everything. I was surprised he would spend this amount of time without any cost.
I agreed a fixed fee. I wanted a conference in person to discuss my case. A date was arranged quickly and I met with Marcus and Hannah at their offices. I have been terrified about the allegations and what might happen to me. I wa made to feel at ease and they spent lots of time with me going through everything. I feel much better and less stressed.
Every option and possible out come was explained to me. Marcus gave me lots of examples of other cases he has worked on so he know exactly what was likely to happen. I can't thank them enough for the help so far.
Whilst at their office I met the other staff who were there. Everyone was pleasant and nobody made me feel awkward. It does feel like a very friendly firm. I feel really confident with them on my side.
I know it may be 6 months or so before the police and the CPS decide what to do. It will be a difficult time ahead but I know I can call PCD at any time and they will be there for me. Thank you all for your help so far.

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.
