Client feedback relating to Causing Death or Serious Injury
“Dear Bobby, thanks very much for your last e-mail. A Quick feedback: Speaking to you over the phone re-assured me that you were the correct person to handle my case. You have been very professional while dealing my case. Before going to court, you have explained each and every step in written form and you explained everything in detail while we were in the court. In front of magistrate, you represented my case excellently and your tactics were to focus on concentration lapse which helped my case. From the start to end, you have directed the court to one direction only and that worked well in my favour. I would like to thank you for your hard work and sincere efforts and congratulates you to achieve minimum sentence on this case.” – Mr S, G – Essex
“Bobby from BBLaw was the first to answer his phone immediately when I was first looking for a solicitor and was patient when listening to my case. I did not fully understand the implications of the summons I was dealing with, and he was very realistic with the possible courses of action. After reviewing the case fully, his advice was to negotiate one guilty plea for careless driving in exchange for the prosecution to drop two charges, fail to stop and fail to report. While he did not expect such a great outcome, we ended up with only 4 points for careless driving. I could have lost my license as a new driver if I got 6 or more points, but he convinced the magistrate that although a fairly serious accident occurred, it was just a momentary lapse of attention. I would recommend Bobby to anyone, even if he would have to travel to a distant court. He is efficient and thorough with answering questions, and makes himself available during evenings and weekends.” – Mrs S, B – Ilford, Essex
