Gareth Needs and his team were very helpful and clear in all the advise given. They were as much concerned about my personal welfare as much as the criminal case I was accused of. Hopefully I wont need his help again but would recommend him to anyone else who found themselves in the same situation I was in.

John Ruane

Tagged solicitor John Ruane

I contacted JHR after failing a roadside drug test. John called me personally within half an hour of me putting a contact request in on the website. We discussed the case and I was apprehensive with regards to paying the costs involved with fighting this at trial to someobody I had never met in person. And also on a case where the evidence against me is black and white that I am guilty of the offences charged upon myself by CPS. Fast forward time to now 16 months on from my arrest date and I am sat here now in my vehicle with my license still valid and clean, having walked away from court with an acquittal and also a refund of some costs on there way to me. There are other services available who offer a what john offers but I am confident in sharing that money spent with JHR is money well spent. You will be given access to one of the best Barristers in the business. In my case this was John Dye. Upon reviewing his resume I walked into court confident that I would be walking back out with my license. You will be updated and kept in the loop at all stages of your trial and be offered the best opportunity of a win on your court date.
