Football Law Associates Limited

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 finally real justice was done and the case withdrawn.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.

I cannot recommend Football Law Associates highly enough for their professionalism, expertise, and client-focused approach. My initial contact was with Melanie Cooke, who had previously supported a friend of mine in relation to a football-related offence. From the outset, she was approachable, knowledgeable, and reassuring. She promptly referred me to her colleague, Robert Perkins, whose guidance proved invaluable throughout the process. I had an in-depth initial consultation with Robert, during which we spoke for over an hour. He took the time to carefully explain the legal position, outline the possible outcomes, and ensure I fully understood the implications of each option. His advice was clear, measured, and strategic. When we met at the Magistrates’ Court, Robert had already advised me to enter a not guilty plea and provided well-reasoned guidance on why this was the most appropriate course of action. He further recommended that the matter be heard at the Crown Court, explaining that this would offer the strongest opportunity for a fair and favourable outcome. Throughout the case, Robert was proactive and thorough in his preparation. I was subsequently informed that he had engaged directly with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), presenting representations on my behalf. As a result of his efforts, the prosecution made the decision to discontinue the case entirely. The level of professionalism, expertise, and reassurance provided by Robert and the wider team was exceptional. At what was an extremely stressful time, I felt fully supported and confident that my case was being handled with the utmost diligence and care. I would not hesitate to recommend Football Law Associates to anyone seeking specialist legal representation in this field.

From beginning to end of the whole process, Mr. Perkins was very professional and gave clear advice of all options available to myself. He was great at communicating through email, on the phone and above all in person in court. I found him very approachable and he looked on me, as a client, but a normal person. There was no pre-conceived negative view which you can sometimes get with these situations. He helped with getting the best possible outcome in my predicament, which was very much appreciated by myself. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal help with football matters and have in fact already done so.

The whole team at FLA was very knowledgable on my situation and helped me avoid a ban and a hefty fine due to their expertise, can’t thank them enough and would defo recommend to anyone in need of legal representation!!

For any football related offences I would highly recommend Football Law Associates, Rob Perkins. As well as being very nice, he is very knowledgeable in football related law. Rob dealt with my case very well which resulted in the Crown Prosecution Services to dismiss my case for trial once Rob presented our evidence. From the very first stage of contact Rob will advise you and guide you throughout the process. Once again, I highly recommend Rob Perkins at Football Law Associates.
