ROAD TRAFFIC

"Dear Stephen
We wanted to let you know how really grateful we were for your assistance with our case. You jumped right in after we had been let down by our previous solicitor who was no help at all. Our daughter found you on the internet and true to the comments' made by previous clients you were able to help.
Even though it was very short notice, you met with us and by the end of our first meeting you were able to put Aubrey's mind at rest. He even felt that even if he lost the case he would not feel to bad as he felt you were making every effort to help us and win the case for us. You were very thorough and put our case together in such a short space of time.
On the morning of the hearing I was feeling nervous but once we met with you prior to the hearing any worry or concerns we had disappeared. The out come was postive and Aubrey was found not guilty.
We are truly thankful and grateful for your assistance and neither of us would esitate to to pass you details on to anyone in need of your excellent service."
Marie & Aubrey

"Dear Stephen
Thank you so much for representing me today in court on my drinking and driving case,because of your skill and your ability to diagnose evidence  I am still the proud owner of a driving licence. As you kno w it has been a hard slog to get to this point today, but I have to say the cream on the cake was seeing you work in court your cross examination of the prosecutions witnesses was a pleasure to watch.
MANY MANY THANKS "

"Thank you for looking after me so expertly. I had never been in a court of law before and was terrified from the outset. You put me at ease, quickly identifying the issues and keeping the costs down. I was prepared for the worst, and I am so grateful that you never gave up fighting for me. At one stage it appeared a lost cause - thank you so much for saving my driving licence"

"My husband and I have never been in trouble with the law before. Thank you for putting Jason at ease, and taking time out at such short notice to go with him to the police station on Saturday afternoon.

Speeding driver avoids a ban

Hi Stephen
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on a sterling performance in court yesterday, I was facing a ban for failure to stop and doing 33 mph over the speed limit and you managed to get me off with 6 points and a £420 fine. I cannot thank you enough for the time and effort you put into my case, including the phone calls at 11 o'clock at night that you was burning the midnight oil for me on. I would highly recommend your services to anyone in the future.
Best regards,

Driver not disqualified after getting 33 points

Dear Stephen
I really thought I would be disqualified from driving with 33 penalty points. People should know that what you promise you deliver on. Ultimately you get what you pay for – you gave good value for money,

Avoiding Totting Disqualification

Mr Thomas provided us with a first class and very professional service, on the lead up to the case and on the day of our case. My Partner was facing a possible 6 month disqualification and a fine in excess of £600.00. With Mr Thomas's help and expertise he put forward an exceptional case and my Partner was given just 3 points on his licence and a £97.00 fine plus court fees of £52.00.
I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Thomas's services as we believe had he not represented my partner the outcome would have been devastating.
We wish to thank Mr Thomas once again for all of his help and assistance
Yours sincerely
Scott Alleeson and Tracey O'Brien

TOTTING

" I was exceptionally pleased with today's result, which I couldn't possibly have achieved without you. Not only to avoid a driving ban, but only to receive 3 points and a modest fine was much better than I could possibly have hoped for.  I would therefore like to thank you most sincerely for the efficient, intelligent and knowledgeable way you handled both the court hearing itself and the preparation period. I will recommend you to my friends and colleagues in the strongest possible terms should they find themselves in the same circumstances as I did. "
Managing Director - Jon Orrell

" I report that yesterday Stephen Thomas appeared in the Bournemouth Magistrates Court on behalf of an errant Cousin of mine who after some 40 years of fault free driving accumulated 5 speeding offences in about 2 years whilst coping with a 90+ year old ill Mother who lived some 5 miles away and who she visited at least once a day and a husband (sometimes violent) suffering from serious Dementia - both of whom have now died. She had thus accumulated 12 points and been on a speed awareness course and would normally lose her licence but Stephen was able to persuade the Court of Exceptional hardness/circumstances and her licence was spared. This success follows one for an employee of Midair (Mike Davis) and I understand for 2 close relatives of another major client. He was very good with my 69 year old Cousin who at times was not the easiest of clients. He is to be recommended (and commended!) "
