I contacted Chris Andrews at Coodes following a totting up of penalty points due to speeding. I was aware that I would be facing a 6 month ban due to having reached the 12 penalty point limit. Mr Andrews clearly explained the options to me stating that I may be in a position to present an 'exceptional hardship' case. He agreed to help and attend court with me. In the meantime he asked me to forward him any relevant info and begin collecting some character references. It took a full year before the court date came around but Mr Andrews was happy to keep in touch and responded promptly with advise whenever I contacted him with queries throughout the year. On the day of the hearing Mr Andrews met with me one hour before the scheduled hearing time to discuss matters in detail. Mr Andrews was professional but also relaxed, friendly, personable & easy going. He was also able to put me at ease prior to the hearing. During the hearing he took the lead and was fully comprehensive with his presentation to the bench meaning that no questions needed to be directed at myself. Mr Andrews presented an honest argument but was able to think 'outside the box' during the hearing, concentrating on the most relevant items to this particular case. This resulted in the best possible outcome. As mentioned following the hearing, I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend Mr Andrews at Coodes to anybody needing assistance of this sort.
