Dyne Solicitors Limited

Deborah was great. We had an issue that was very urgent and needed resolving very quickly. Deborah resolved our dispute and turned it all around in a very short timescale for us. Thank You for the great job

Hi Jared, cheers for that, thank You for the great job you done on my behalf yesterday. All the best and if anybody needs a solicitor for the same reason I did I will definitely recommend you.

Many thanks for your extremely informative information over the past years.

Of our Deborah Bond it was said…Thank you again for sorting this out swiftly and efficiently! Super Service!

Thank you for your time on Thursday, the service and advice you gave was top notch

I’m sure you already know but Jared was really good to work with and I will always recommend him/yourselves in the future.

Jared Dunbar is excellent. There is no other firm I would want to be represented by on any legal matter

Deborah Bond represented our company last year, with a final hearing in August 2020. After meeting Deborah for the first time, we found her very professional and felt confident in our choice of representation. She dealt with our case very efficiently, with regular communication and clear direction of her requirements from us.We were very pleased with the positive outcome of our case and would not hesitate to recommend her.

At the time, we thought our procedures were watertight, but John identified several areas where they could and indeed should be more effective, covering all aspects from driver training right through to the internal procedures utilised to record such measures as drivers’ daily defect checks etc. Now, I am confident that we are doing all that we can as a company to comply with current statute and ensure the safety of both our drivers and the general public. The procedure is designed to give us peace of mind that every vehicle is roadworthy. As a responsible employer we train our drivers in the checks, and instil the importance of them, but the reality is that we simply cannot watch over every driver, every day, to make sure the checks are carried out thoroughly. John told us we weren’t doing enough. We needed to undertake impromptu audits of the daily walk around checks, turning up unannounced, sometimes at 3am or 4am as required, to periodically watch every driver run through his or her daily check. Only once the walk around check has been completed are the drivers approached to let them know whether or not we are happy with the way they are fulfilling this requirement. Now every driver is audited every four to six weeks as a minimum. Hence, our drivers know that they could be audited at any time, and having this discipline in place means the checks are more likely to be done, and done properly. Our Drivers’ Handbook also now clearly states that failure to carry out the daily walk around check properly is a sackable offence. Obviously we make every effort to keep pace with all the regulatory changes as and when they are introduced, but we know we can rely on John to extract the implications that are relevant to our business and to convey this information to us in a simple and timely fashion. It’s also great that John is prepared to share any learnings from his dealings with other clients. Whilst for reasons of professionalism and confidentiality, he would obviously never divulge the client’s name, he will say: ‘Someone was stopped for this, let’s make sure it doesn’t happen to you. We feel that his service provides real value for money, and although no-one likes paying a bill, I can honestly say I have never received what I would consider to be an extortionate invoice for the service provided. Thanks to John, I believe that the procedures we now have in place ensure we are fully compliant with the regulatory requirements incumbent on the haulage business and I have every faith that with his ongoing support, we will remain so.

We have had some very positive feedback from the event, with many compliments on the quality and content of the presentations. John is a very entertaining speaker and doesn’t use corporate jargon, which is important for those who are not legal specialists. I hope we get the opportunity to work with John again and if our members wanted further information I would be happy to recommend his services.
