MAJ Law Limited

Smashed it out of the park! That is the only phrase I can use to describe M.A.J solicitors. I am absolutely ecstatic. I have avoided a driving ban, and I am also getting some of my costs returned. I had a feeling that the police procedure wasn't conducted correctly in the police station, I knew I had to be asked certain questions and I wasn't asked them, so I rang M.A.J but for some advice and got told what I initially thought. According to Conor, I had a full defence. I want to thank Harry for representing me in court and putting on such a good show. Seriously good law firm. Make sure you contact this firm before anyone else if you are looking for traffic offence solicitors. Well worth every penny!

I received some excellent free advice from Tom last week. I rang in a flap because I had just gone past a mobile speed camera but I saw it too late, and I was doing 46 in a 40. I knew it would have got me and I have never been caught speeding before so I didn't know what to do. Tom was very kind natured and calmed me down and told me if it was that speed then I'd be eligible for the speed awareness course, which I didn't even know was a thing. I might not even get the letter through the post yet, it's been 5 days so far but I'm pretty sure I will. At least I know now that I don't have to take points! Thank you Tom!

Over promised, under delivered. I was presented with possibility that procedural errors on the police and CPS part may lead to the case being dropped or a guilty plea could be accepted for a lesser charge. This was not the case when in court.
After from the initial sales call I had no contact with the solicitor only paralegals with what felt like scripted responses and disclaimer statements.
The most frequent communication I had with them was when they wanted payment.
Save yourself money and instruct a motoring offence barrister directly there is seemingly nothing this lot did that made any difference to the outcome.

Really pleased with the outcome of my case and the representation from Jack in court. The prosecutor seemed aggravated and was very direct - almost rude, yet Jack remained calm and professional and managed to put forward mitigation which massively reduced my driving ban from 12 months to 3 months with a small fine. Would definitely recommend MAJ, especially Jack if you can get him to represent you.

My husband and I have a son who is autistic and suffers from ADHD. As part of his medication, he has been permitted to take cannabis when he feels necessary to reduce his symptoms. We have warned him several times not to drive if he feels he needs to take cannabis, and up until now he hasn't, or at least we haven't known about it. But on this occasion, he was out with his friends, and I can only assume that they were all smoking cannabis recreationally, so Sam joined in.

In the early hours of the morning, his friend woke up struggling to breathe, and he realised he had forgotten his inhaler. With the parents being away and Craig (friend) living in a remote location, Sam volunteered to take him to the hospital - thinking it would be quicker than phoning an ambulance. Out of sheer bad luck, Sam drove past a police officer at some speed and got stopped, but due to the circumstances, the police officer took them to hospital as he could see Craig was in a bad way and knew he could get them there faster. He commented on the smell of cannabis and tested Sam once Craig had gone into hospital. As nice as the police officer was, Sam showed positive for cannabis and the police officer said he regrettably had to take him to the police station for a blood test.

Sam explained that the police officer in his case was a 'nice guy' and could tell he didn't want to charge him under the circumstances, but despite the prescription and the emergency situation, he was still over the limit, and it was his job and he couldn't let him off just because he liked him and thought he was a good friend.

When I rang MAJ I explained the situation, and I said that the police officer in question was a good guy but was there any chance at a defence. When analysing the evidence, we were advised to plead guilty to the charge since all procedures had been followed, but that Sam did have a special reason due to the medical prescription and the emergency situation. The judge obviously took pity on Sam, and as part of his special reasons argument which was put forward by Harry - the charges were dropped completely. The police officer was also present as a witness and said many times 'he's a good kid and he was doing the right thing at the wrong time'. We are so grateful to have these charges dropped, have an officer who was kind to our son and solicitors who made sure my son came away with a clean criminal record and no driving ban. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much to James! Without you and the rest of the guys at MAJ I honestly have no idea where i'd be. I had completely lost my way through drink and drugs after getting in with the wrong crowd, and I feel like this firm has saved my life. I've been given another chance to make things right and learned a very important lesson which really scared me. I never want to be in a situation where I am in court again. But thank you so much to James for making me feel so calm and handling everything so professionally. I will recommend this firm to absolutely anyone.

I instructed M.A.J with a week's notice until my court hearing. I convinced myself I could get through it representing myself, but my nerves got the better of me at the last minute. I honestly wasn't expecting them to be able to represent me at such short notice, but within about 10 minutes I had made the call, got some advice from Conor, made the payment and they came to court and won! Very happy with the service I received and will pass on their details if anyone I know is involved in a motoring offence.

Great outcome from M.A.J at court last week. Although I'm thrilled that I managed to escape the charge against me (I was given 6 points and a fine) I am ashamed for drinking and driving. The experience at court and the risk of what I could have lost is definitely enough to ensure that I will never do it again. One of the things that make M.A.J different is that they are passionate about their work, but what stood out to me is the fact that I didn't feel judged - despite being in front of a judge in court. Obviously, they can't say it's ok, but they were just a very pleasant company and have a nice manner about them. I imagine they must get people enquiring who are in a much worse situation than me and have done much worse than me. It must be difficult to listen to that and not pass judgment, but they treat everybody equally. I now have so much more respect for defence solicitors, particularly M.A.J. Thank you for the representation and for paving the way for me getting my life back on track.
