Martin was excellent

Martin was professional, knowledgeable and warm. I was in court for a driving offence and he knew the law inside-out. He took the time to find out as much about me and the events leading up to my arrest and charge as he could and his consequent representation was accurate and detailed. He managed to get me a very lenient sentence and I’m very grateful that the matter that has dragged on for six months is now closed and I can put it behind me.

Professional compassionate solicitor - Excellent Service

We engaged Martin to help with a series of serious false allegations that were being leveled against our son by the University he is currently attending that related to a fellow student. Martin was thorough and professional throughout, was extremely balanced and helped us to navigate an exceptionally stressful situation. Martin left nothing to chance and was thorough and persistent in his work with the University on behalf of our Son who has ADD and was unable to defend himself. His actions prevented a legal escalation and ensured that all accusations were dropped by the University and he was able to continue his studies with no “black marks” against his name.

What singled Martin out for us was that not only was he meticulous and professional at all times, but he was also compassionate and understanding of the stress the family was going through. We cannot thank Martin enough for the work he did on behalf of our son.

Absolutely the Best

We used Martin Crawford- Brown at IBB Law. We can’t thank Marin enough for his help and support during a very challenging case. He saved our son from an almost inevitable prison sentence. Martin listens to you and explains all the legal stuff clearly and in a way we could understand. We would rate him ten stars if we could

Skilled Solicitor

I am so grateful to have had Martin Crawford represent me in my recent driving offense case. Thanks to his impressive legal skills, I was able to avoid losing my driving license.

From our first consultation, I knew I was in good hands. Martin Crawford took the time to understand every aspect of my case. He was confident he could build a solid defense to contest the charges.

Throughout the process, he kept me informed and set appropriate expectations. His attention to detail in reviewing evidence and preparing arguments was exceptional.

In court, Martin Crawford presented a compelling case citing factual evidence and legal technicalities. His expert knowledge of driving laws proved invaluable.

In the end, the charges were dropped and I faced no license suspension. This outcome was an enormous relief.

I unequivocally recommend him to anyone facing driving offenses or license disputes. He will fight fiercely for you.

The best franchise dispute resolution firm in the UK. If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of needing legal support then you need people who understand franchise law and agreements and who have experience in how to navigate these often murky waters. I was very well advised by one of the partners (Russell Ford) who has immense skill, integrity and experience to give very frank, honest advice - it might not always be what you want to hear but it's what you need - objective, unemotional opinion based on fact and merit. Highly recommend!
