Represent stalking case associate with mental health issues

Overall, a great service from the team, who helped represent my brother in Magistrates Court. My brother has mental health problems and can be slow of difficult to deal with, so it was valuable that the JD Spicer Zeb team, especially Barry Linnane, applied patience and attention to his case and did a great job representing him.
