Cannot ever thank you enough
A few months ago I was in one of the darkest places I’ve ever been. I made a huge mistake and got behind the wheel after having a few drinks, something I would never think of doing. The shame, fear and overwhelming anxiety of what could happen hit me like a freight train and I completely spiralled. I googled and found MAJ and read the reviews which seemed positive, but I wasn’t positive that I’d have a full defence, but after a conversation with Conor, I felt like I might have some hope. Immediately they got to work on my case, challenging evidence and police procedures and found that the breath test was handled incorrectly. Conor spotted something which could have easily been missed. I would have just accepted it if it wasn’t for them.
On the court day I was a wreck. I couldn’t even speak properly I was that anxious, but Conor fought for me like it was his own life on the line. He was respectful but fierce and the case was thrown out. I didn’t lose my licence, my job and most importantly I got second chance.
I still think about what could’ve happened if I hadn’t made that call. I’ll never make that mistake again but I also won’t forget the people who helped pull me out of the worst time of my life. If you’re reading this and in a similar situation, please just call them. Dont wait to find someone better, you won’t.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. You gave me my future back.

Can’t thank them enough!
Can’t believe I’m saying this, but we actually won the case! I was facing a speeding charge that could’ve easily ended with points, a fine, or even a ban and with how much I rely on my licence for work and family, it felt like everything was on the line. I was honestly in bits when it first happened.
The team looked through every bit of evidence, found technical issues with how the speed was recorded, and built a really strong defence.
On the day of the hearing, I was a nervous wreck, but Conor was absolutely brilliant. Sharp, confident, and clearly knew his stuff inside out. We walked out with the case dismissed. Still feels surreal.
I honestly can’t thank them enough. If you’re in a mess like I was, don’t wait around stressing, just call them.

Thank you!
A truly remarkable company. MAJ saved my son from a potential prison sentence, and I will never be able to thank them enough for the support they gave in such an awful, turbulent time. I am a true believer in you get what you pay for, and I just thank my lucky stars that we were able to afford their representation when a family friend stepped in to help us out financially. I honestly don't believe id be sitting here writing this with my son next to me if it weren’t for them.
We are all eternally grateful and will pass on your details to ANYONE who is need of assistance for a motoring offence. Thank you x

Smashed it out the park
I rang MAJ and spoke to Conor Johnstone who gave me some brilliant advice on how to handle a drug driving charge. As the offence was in Dumfries he explained that they couldn’t act for us as some legislation is different in Scotland - however the advice he was able to give was so much more solid than anything I’d heard up here so I just thought sc*ew it and I went with it! Took myself off to court and the case was dropped within 30 minutes! I was ecstatic!
I know these guys can’t act for us living in Scotland, however they are definitely top of their game and anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation should definitely give them a call, even if it’s just for advice!
Very Neesley Done!!

Wonderful.
I have never been so eager to leave a review as I am to review this firm.
The professionalism and dedication of the team at MAJ was exceptional. Despite probably dealing with hundreds of cases a day, it felt like they personally took the time to understand the broader context of my situation and offered tailored solutions. Nothing was ever too much trouble and each person I spoke to was equally as knowledgeable and professional. Even the admin team were extremely friendly and helpful. I’ve had many a laugh with Sue and Neil throughout the duration of this case.
Whether you're facing a minor motoring offence or a more serious matter, I would urge you to get in contact with MAJ Law. Their in-depth knowledge of the law, combined with their exceptional client service and track record of success, makes them an invaluable partner in navigating these kinds of legal challenges. They have certainly earned my trust and my highest recommendation!
Thank you so much for your outstanding support and for helping me move past this difficult situation with such a positive result! I will absolutely be passing on your details. Fantastic.
I wish you all the very best. Macca x

Exceptional Hardship
MAJ Law went above and beyond for my exceptional hardship case. Not only did they craft a rock-solid argument to keep me on the road, but they also showed genuine care for my family’s well-being. They understood the impact a ban would have on my loved ones and fought tirelessly to protect us. Professional, compassionate, and absolutely brilliant at what they do—I can’t thank them enough! If you need expert motoring law advice, look no further. I will be eternally grateful for all their help.

Thank you so much, Conor.
I can't thank Conor enough for the incredible support and expertise he provided during one of the most stressful times of my life. Facing a drug driving charge was overwhelming. I genuinely thought my license, my job, and my future were all on the line. From the very first call he put me at ease. He didn’t sugarcoat things but was straight-up honest about my options, the potential outcomes, and what we could do to build the strongest possible case.
What really stood out was how much he actually cared. He wasn’t just another solicitor going through the motions—he took the time to understand my situation, explained everything in a way that made sense and made sure I knew what to expect at every stage. No question was too small, no detail overlooked.
When it came to the hearing, Conor was an absolute professional. He was calm, confident, and knew exactly how to handle the case. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, I got the best possible outcome—something I honestly didn’t think was even possible when this all started.
If you're facing a drug driving charge and feel like the world is crashing down, do yourself a favor and call MAJ. They are not just outstanding solicitors, they genuinely want to help people get through these tough situations. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Thank you, Conor, for everything!
