Football Law Associates Limited

I am 18 and was charged last at an away match last December. This whole process was highly stressful and anxiety-inducing, yet Robert was extremely helpful throughout. He presented such a compelling case to the judge in court, including my age and history of no previous convictions. This resulted in a NOT GUILTY verdict. He explained everything thoroughly, yet in a way that a 5 year old could understand. His legal knowledge is expert and he has clearly dealt with situations like mine many times in the past. Thank you Rob for your wonderful service and support. [legal aid]

I was facing a really stressful situation after being charged with possession of a Class A drug following an incident at a football match. I’d never been in a situation like this before and had no idea what to expect. Melanie and the team worked endlessly throughout the whole process. They were always there to answer my questions, explain things properly and keep me updated. Melanie also went above and beyond in preparing statements and putting together additional information to support my case, which I genuinely believe was vital in getting the case discontinued. There was also the added worry of a potential football banning order, but Melanie and the team made sure this was properly dealt with as part of everything they were doing for me. After months of stress and uncertainty, the case was ultimately discontinued, which was a massive relief. I honestly can’t thank Melanie, Georgia and the whole team enough for all the work and support they gave me throughout. I genuinely felt like I was in good hands and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation. Thanks again for everything!

I can't recommend the Football Law Associates enough. A huge level of detail went into my case to ensure I was thoroughly prepared in Court and we were successful in getting the FBO overturned. Without the work that went into fighting my case I would be banned from attending football games. Ruby was fantastic to work with and her communication was brilliant throughout.

I was wrongfully accused of an abhorrent football related crime. The experience was devastating. As it became apparent that the matter would be going to court a friend referred me to Football Law Associates. Robert Perkins was assigned and straight away put me at ease. He was always willing to listen and most importantly, believed in me. As the crown released their evidence and we could see how flimsy and baseless this was. Robert went far beyond what would have been normal. At the pleading date he got to court an hour early to seek out the prosecutor and to go through all of our misgivings regards the evidence. The prosecutor offered a plea for a lesser offense which we refused. Seeing that a trial would not have a reasonable chance of success, the prosecutor offered to withdraw provided the police agreed and by chance the investigating officer was at court for an unrelated case. Robert tracked her down had a long conversation and the police agreed that if the prosecutor was to withdraw the case that she would not contest it and again waited for the opportunity to speak with the prosecutor. finally real justice was done and the case withdrawn. But for Robert's persistence and his willingness to stay at the court for as long as it takes, this nightmare would still be ongoing. I cannot thank him enough. A thoroughly decent human being who is also excellent at his job. If you find yourself in a similar situation please at least speak with the Football Law Associates.

Robert Perkins from Football Associates Ltd. assisted me with my case in preventing a football banning order and was first class in every part of the process. From informing me of the process that would be undertaken aswell as the diligence n effort into providing a brilliant defence which resulted in the potential FBO being overturned. I’d highly recommend Rob to anyone who ends up having to defend themselves in regard to football related offences.
