    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.

    Excellent legal service!

    My family recently required legal assistance for the first time, and were understandably anxious about the proceedings. Both Andy and his colleague, Amy Murray, could not have been more supportive, reassuring or fully conmitted to our case. They both worked very hard to secure the fair and correct outcome for our family, and I could not recommend their services highly enough.

    Review of Andy Rootsey

    I am age 17 and Andy provided me with comprehensive help and support when dealing with the police and writing a statement of my account as well as prepping me for a police interview and ensuring that I proceeded with caution. Andy provided excellent legal and emotional support during my case and is ultimately a fantastic lawyer. Andy communicated well and made sure I fully understood everything he advised me on.
