No Charge - great support over the last year
Been represented by Favell Smith Lawson today by Mark Dooley, he squashed the charge brought against me and won my case. He helped me with my legal aid application massively, and as a result of the verdict today I will get around 8k back and can get on with my life. Impressed with his professionalism in court and down to earth approach outside of court. Without him I would have been in trouble, I’m in your debt.
Thank you again mate

Crown Court - Affray - All charges dropped - thank you Mark!
From the first moment we spoke with Mark we knew he was the right solicitor for us - understanding, knowledgable and charismatic. The legal system was new and confusing to us, throughout Mark provided clear guidance and advice. Mark's knowledge of the Magistrates & Crown Court were invaluable, resulting in the charge of Affray being dropped due to insufficient evidence. It was a long and stressful year for us as a family, we couldn't have done it without Mark guiding us every step of the way. Brilliant communication throughout, he went above and beyond for our case and we couldn't be more grateful!
