Drink Driving – Think Before You Plead!

Having spent over 25 years in courts all over the country it has always surprised me how, on a daily basis, I see otherwise intelligent people throw away their driving licence after having had that extra drink before driving. I’m further surprised to see how willing they are to simply plead guilty without legal advice and without questioning whether or not they should plead guilty in the first place! (more…)

When you receive a speeding ticket through the post, telling you that the driver of your car will be prosecuted and – if you don’t fill in the form and tell who the driver was – you will get 6 points; you might think that, before you do anything, you have a right to see the evidence. Well you would be wrong! (more…)

I am writing to express my gratitude for the exceptional and professional service. I was utterly convinced that I would lose my licence, given that I already had 10 Penalty points on my licence and had been charged with 2 further offences, one of which was serious enough to result in a disqualification without regard to any previous penalty points. Your performance in court was exceptional. I have been represented by other barristers in the past [in civil matters], but never one with such skill and legal knowledge as you demonstrated.

I would like to say how absolutely thrilled I am at the conclusion of my recent court case in my favour and have to say that your service on my behalf was truly outstanding. As you know, I felt with 100% commitment that the allegation against me simply must have been in error and was totally committed to defending my position. I have never done anything like this before, and indeed, never been any where near a court, let alone in it, so although determined to defend myself, I found it all quite daunting and I must say in choosing you to represent me in this case was the best thing I could possibly have done. The promptness and efficiency with which you handled all the pre-trial notices and paperwork was very impressive and indeed your willingness to be available at any time of the day or weekend to help with any query was priceless.

You defended me at trial at Birmingham Magistrates’ on 16th September 2013, in respect of two allegations; driving without due care and attention and failing to stop after an accident. We previously had a conference in your office. Julian’s information, guidance, and support was first class. I felt confident and reassured by his knowledge and professionalism in the manner he conducted himself with me. At the trial Julian performed, I feel, with great confidence, skill, politeness and precision in how he cross-examined and presented the case to the District Judge. I felt Julian had a fantastic rapore with all involved, particularly with the District Judge.

I used Julian Harris to defend me against a pending speeding conviction I recieved in January 2012. He was happy to take on my case and over the next few weeks we had several conversations on the way we were to approach the case. I could contact him with any queries even if it was weekend or evening via e-mail or phone. If he was unavailable due to being in court my call was returned when he was free. The case finally came to court at Burnley in September 2012. Julian had done quite a bit of groundwork and had compiled quite a strong defence on my behalf.

I would like to thank you for attending Barnstaple Magistrates Court for my son. I believe without yourself it would have been extremely difficult to prove him innocent of speeding, travelling at 50 mph in a 30 mph limit, and obstructing the police officer in the execution of his duty. You were very professional and thorough in court which enabled him to be acquitted on both charges. I am extremely grateful for all your help and advice and would recommend you to anybody who finds themselves in the same situation. Once again a massive big thank you.
