DRUG DRIVING TESTIMONIALS

Currently speechless from desired result

Was charged with drug driving mainly cocaine and it’s after product. and possession of cannabis over a year and half ago. I then instructed Geoffrey miller by fate on the basis I had put my name and number on at least 5 other solicitor call back pages. Geoffrey miller was the first firm to get hold of me and I was greeted by the lovely Saskia who explained in detail what my options was. Saskia was lovely to talk to and was the reason I went ahead with Geoffrey miller. As I instructed Geoffrey miller I then had the lovely Ellie as my caseworker who was very thorough with her work. and was always letting me know on important issues throughout the case. and always being positive about the whole thing. I was also lucky enough to speak to Jeanette at one point and would like to say a big thanks to have a little faith in me when I needed it most over a little payment issue.

About the trials and final outcome

So it has been a long and grueling experience for me as I was charged with the offence in late February last year I then had to wait a day before the 6 month deadline for my blood result to come back from the police for it to be over the specified limit. I then had my first hearing two weeks later from the results. I had Barry to represent me to progress the case to full trial after that then came several delays one from the court then CPS witnesses were unable to attend and was finally set on 27th of June this year. I arrived at court and spoke to my barrister who has unbelievable knowledge of process that it’s scary. after this I knew he would give the CPS a hard time but low and behold it was a complete whitewash on my behalf as the CPS main witness was sick from may and the CPS was unaware of this until we was at court and had failed to check if witnesses would be available on a set deadline given by a pre trial hearing. their second witness also decided to call in sick on the day. The CPS then had the cheek to try to ask for a adjournment witch of course was rejected. after this the CPS had no evidence to give and I was acquitted.

Things I have learnt

Geoffrey miller are awesome they make u feel respected and feel good about a case u might not think u can win

CPS are very unorganised

Some Witness don’t like to turn up to court

Barristers appointed to represent you are truly awesome

Final conclusion
If you are reading this then read my advice don’t go to anyone else this firm is simply the best you can get. I can’t stress that enough. thank you Geoffrey miller for my acquittal I owe u every thing big respect to Ellie, Saskia they are true gems to the firm.

In regards to value for money it’s an easy answer of great value as losing my license would of meant my salary taking a huge nosedive. All the way through the procedure I felt I was kept well informed and up to date. The only delays were mainly from my end due to not answering emails because of work commitments. Overall I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your services.

Email from a client whose case was concluded in July 2018:

Hi Tara Boyle,

I would like to answer the three questions posed in your email with a score of 5 to all. I have found everyone I have dealt with within your company to being very efficient, polite and very helpful.

With regards to dealing with Ellie Taylor I have found her to be very professional and help full what has impressed me most is her patience and ability to explain everything to me whether it be in an email or a conversation on the phone in the language I can understand as I have no idea of legal jargon. So to answer you I am very pleased I found your company via internet and very happy Ellie was dealing with my case.

Lastly I would like to thank you all for getting me the result I needed and again can you share my gratitude to the powers that be about Ellie and the great work she has done for me.

Kind regards

Vincent Waddington

At the end of December 2017, I was charged with drug driving being 3 times over the limit for cannabis. I thought that was it, there was nothing I could do to fix this. But after speaking with Geoffrey Miller solicitors I ended up deciding that I will let them deal with my case as I strongly felt that my case handler Austin took his time to understand my case, understand my background, what consequences this would have on my future as I’m still young and need to finish university. I felt highly confident with letting Austin deal with my case, he would always keep me updated of any key dates there are, any letters or emails that have been received and just overall talking me through what options I had, whether we’re in a strong position or not, what points are being focused on my behalf and what to be expecting in court. All of this kept me even more reassured as I was confident that I had someone with an high amount of skills and knowledge in this field dealing with my case. This was my first ever time in court so I was really nervous, I didn’t know what to expect but Austin always made sure that he listened to everything I had to say, any questions I wanted to ask, that’s what kept me reassured the most.

At the day of my trial Geoffrey Miller Solicitors had sent a very professional advocate (counsel) to deal with my case. He briefed me through what procedures are going to be placed, what points his main focus is on, what to say, what not to say and what to expect from the judges. At trial, in the courtroom it only took my advocate around 20 minutes to get the judges to drop the case and get me acquitted which was literally the best outcome anyone would want if you’re ever in this position.

Overall I would like to thank Geoffrey Miller Solicitors so much for getting my life back on track and being with me through that dark stage, I always had every opportunity to ask for clarifications on anything that wasn’t understood. The whole process ran through very smoothly and just the way my case handler Austin described it would be. The team provided the best service you could get for the price you’re paying and I would HIGHLY recommend anyone in a similar situation to me to not hesitate or even think twice about having Geoffrey Miller Solicitors backing you up in court. They are the best at what they do and they produce the best expected results at the end of it all.

I cannot rate the service provided by Geoffrey Miller highly enough, I was initially cautious about committing to what I considered significant costs, but in reality, I now appreciate the services purchased to be possibly the best value for money spend item I have made in many many years.

My life and career have, quite literally, been saved by this solicitors’ group. They are highly professional, extremely thorough, communicate excellently and provide great support and reassurance at court appearances. I would not hesitate to use them again in the future.
I am confident that, in their field, they are the very best in the country. If you are in need of defence for a driving related charge, you will be doing yourself a huge disservice not to ask for their advice.

Thank you once again Geoffrey Miller Solicitors. I am forever indebted to you!

All the staff at Geoffrey Miller solicitors are kind, courteous and are top of their game and are definitely worth the money for the service they give you. Although parting with so much money at the beginning was scary and I had my reservations I was soon put at ease with the Geoffrey Miller team, they got the result they said they would and I would definitely use their services again if the need arises.

I cannot thank you enough for the result you got me, you gave me my life back… you’re the best!

Geoffrey Miller provided an excellent service, under what were extremely stressful circumstances. The advice and help from Tara Boyle was clear and concise with no pressure added to make a decision to appoint. She was able to provide comparisons to other cases like ours, key statistics and even offered the opportunity to speak with someone who had been in our situation, all which helped us decide to appoint. Tara kept us up to date with how the case was progressing and was always quick to respond to any questions we had. I can’t recommend Geoffrey Miller highly enough if you need someone to represent you, they did a fabulous job keeping us calm and achieving a positive outcome for us.

In May 2017 I got arrested for drug driving after providing a positive drug swab at the side of the road for cannabis. I really didn’t think at the time that I would be over the limit as I really hadn’t consumed much of it . When I was arrested I was taken to the local police station where a blood sample was taken and then had the long wait of 4 weeks for the results to come back. This was definitely the worst time of my life, lots of things were going through my head e.g. that if i was convicted i would lose my job, that I would never be able to travel to certain countries again. I honestly thought at the age of 19 and previously never been in any sort of trouble before my life was over.

When I plucked up the courage to tell my family the next day they did a lot of research to find the best solicitors they could, the testimonials we read on Geoffrey Miller’s website along with their success rate convinced us that these were the solicitors to use. My mother phoned them to find out more info and we instructed them to represent myself. I was also appointed my own caseworker named Sarah who i was told I could contact at anytime with any query I may have.

Eventually after waiting for what seemed like forever I received the results of my blood test. I was devastated to find out that as well as being over the limit for cannabis I was also over the legal drive limit for cocaine. I was convinced at this point nobody could get me off with this.
I phoned my case worker Sarah straight away and she talked me through everything that would happen from here. She was very thorough and extremely helpful.

On the trial day we met with my barrister who works for Geoffrey Miller (when I googled him I was shocked to learn that he was one of the top barristers in the U.K.). Within 45 minutes of the case starting my barrister had the case thrown out of court. I was ecstatic, everything that Sarah told me may happen, did happen!

I can’t thank Geoffrey Miller solicitors enough. I feel like I’ve got my life back. I would 100% recommend this firm and for me it was money well spent.

Thanks again!!

“I was arrested for Drug Driving (Cannabis). I contacted Geoffrey Miller Solicitors and they assured me that everything was going to be ok and my case would be handled by Sharif. I have just had my case discontinued and couldn’t be happier. I would recommend Geoffrey Miller to anyone facing the same charge. They are an investment but value for money if you are looking at a lengthy ban.

Following my arrest for drug driving I was very shaken up to the consequences that I could possibly incur. After a lot of in depth research I contacted Geoffrey Miller. Tara Boyle dedicated various hours of her time to comfort me through the numerous options available to me.

Tara Boyle then continued to handled my case, she was always easily accessible to answer any questions I had whether it be through email or phone call. After receiving notice that I had to attend court, Tara Boyle and the Geoffrey Miller team were always on hand to help me through each stage. Through great communication I was able to follow great instruction from the beginning. Following my initial court appearance I had two more court appearances, where on the third it was announced that I was acquitted of my charges and the case was dropped.

I now really feel like I have my life back, We cannot thank the team at Geoffrey Miller enough!

Following our son’s arrest for drug driving we contacted Geoffrey Miller. Jeanette Miller spent over an hour on the phone with us to discuss options and the possible approaches. Tara Boyle then handled our case, she developed an excellent rapport with our son and was always on hand to answer any questions. We had amazing representation in court and our son was acquitted. He now has his life back and the opportunity to continue his recovery. We cannot thank the team at Geoffrey Miller enough.

Almost 2 years after being charged with drink/drug driving I’ve finally stood trial and have been acquitted! A driving ban would of set me back massively and I still can’t quite believe I’ve avoided it! Many thanks to my caseworker John and my barrister on the day of trial, who handled everything brilliantly.

My case was handled very professionally with the desired outcome being achieved. My case worker relaxed my nerves whilst they did their job, on trial day the thorough work completed by my paralegal and barrister was apparent with the trial ending in acquittal. Hopefully I’ll never be in this position again however if i ever am I’ll be coming straight to Geoffrey Miller Solicitors.

My step son was arrested for suspected drug driving. He had recently just got back into regular work and the loss off his license was a potential disaster. We discussed the actual arrest procedure with him and then did some online research. Geoffrey Miller Solicitors came up and we called for advice. Right from the start the team there instilled a lot of confidence in us and we moved forward with them. It was the right decision. A full acquittal was the net result with costs awarded. Well done to the whole team at Geoffrey Miller!
