Successful Pre-Charge-Engagement Representations

Hiring Andy was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and in a very real sense, a life-saving one. He poured extraordinary thought and effort into preparing my representations, and the written product was superb. He was compassionate about my situation and honest about every aspect of the process. I always felt I could communicate with him openly and count on him completely. He is exactly the person you want in your corner.

Not guilty verdict! £1/2 million fraud trial

I cannot thank Andy Rootsey and my barrister, Rob Dacre, enough for achieving this outstanding result after what has been several incredibly stressful years for me and my family. The professionalism, dedication, expertise, and support they provided throughout the process were exceptional. Rob, your representation in court was simply outstanding - you were incredibly impressive, thorough and left no stone unturned - many hours of running through every piece in granular detail. Both Andy and Rob were always available and always provided the best advice without leaving me confused or unclear on next steps. I am immensely grateful to both of you. The result has meant more to me and my family than I can put into words. Thank you, sincerely, for everything you have done.

Injunctions Law

Account Freezing Order

I cannot recommend Andy highly enough. I am a successful businessman whose company bank accounts were frozen without notice upon application by Police, creating huge disruption to the business. From the outset Andy immediately handled my case with expertise, diligence, and attention to detail. Andy assisted me by making reasoned, well-argued, and detailed representations to the Police, alongside putting together a comprehensive bundle of evidence in support, which resulted in the Account Freezing Order being quickly set aside by the Court by mutual consent. Throughout the process Andy kept me informed, explained my options clearly, and worked tirelessly on my behalf. A truly professional and reassuring service at a very stressful time. Thank you Andy for assisting in getting the business back on track and fully operational again.
