The best at what they do

5

After finding myself in a difficult situation when attending a footy match where I had been refused entry and had details taken by police, I was advised to get in touch with Football Law Associates after speaking to Citizens Advice. They represented me at both my initial court appearance (Mel), as well as at my hearing for the contested football banning order (Rob).

As well as always being on hand to answer any questions I had, they were meticulous in their preparation for each court appearance and I felt confident throughout.

Thanks to their hard work, I was able to get the best outcome of no football banning order.

If I know anyone who is ever in a similar position, I will definitely be recommending Rob and his firm as they’re clearly the best in the business when it comes to this.

The whole case dealt with above all expectations

5

First of all massive thanks to Melanie and Michael for their advise and preparation of the defence in my case.

The outcome was a great surprise to me as I was sure I would get a Football Banning Order for a minor offence in the Liverpool Court (renowned for being entitled and harsh in dealing with any offences at their football stadia.

Even all the way through to appointing a specialist Barrister who herself was superb and therefore maxing my chances of avoiding a FBO.

I have never been in trouble with the police before in my life (am aged 64) however FLA continued to reassure me throughout.

Rob Perkins - Football Banning Order

5

I cannot recommend this firm enough. They not only provided clear guidance and upfront cost implications but then once accepted assisted along the whole process of the case.

Rob Perkins was my solicitor for the contested hearing and he went above and beyond to provide clarity and help, ultimately resulting in a win in the case. So, could not be happier with the service and would recommend to all.

I have just been acquitted rightly of a clasd A drug posession offence at a football match. FLA were superb all the way through and got me the right outcome. Their advice and professionalism made it an easy and calming process. Thanks so much to Mel, Ruby, Rob , Micheal and all the team. Can't recommend highly enough.

A fantastic group of professionals

5

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Mel and her team, in particular Michael, for their help and guidance through what was a very trying time. Michael was very persoanble, knowledgeable and professional in every conversation that we had, and every conversation was very detailed whilst remaining reassuring. I'd also like to thank my Barrister on the days visiting court, Ellen, that Football Law brought in to handle representation at Court. If anyone is reading this that is looking for a Solicitor that specialises in everything Football law then you can have every confidence in Football Law Associates.

Excellent from start to finish

5

From the very start Melanie Cooke was professional, friendly and very helpful in what was a stressful period. She gave clear advice and always promptly answered any questions I had. The representative Melanie sent was so helpful too and managed to give me the right advice to get off with a conditional caution from the crime of affray. I thoroughly recommend The Football Law associates, and believe if it wasn't for Melanie and her team I would have been looking at a criminal conviction in court.

Football case

5

My experience from start to finish was absolutely amazing. I was given the contact of Melanie by a friend who had a very successful case as well as me

The case for me was very stressful, however I felt like I was in excellent hands with Melanie and her team. Any questions I had were dealt with immediately and financially I think they are very fair. Football law associates are clearly the leading specialists within their field.

I would highly suggest anyone use them for any football related matter, their knowledge is honestly incredible.

Chloe, my barrister at court was polite, professional and very calm. She is an exceptional barrister and very good at what she does.

I would like to thank Football law associates for everything.

Relieved

5

Melanie was fantastic from the first instance I contacted her all the way through to today where I attended court to hear all charges were dropped. Melanie went out of her own way at the start of my contact to explain, direct and guide me towards the outcome I received today. Melanie would answer the phone out of hours and was always happy to go into detailed discussion. The barrister with me today, Helen, was absolutely brilliant and I cannot thank Football Law Associates enough for the efforts they have gone to get me this result.

Football banning order appeal won

5

I contacted football law associates following the metropolitan police wishing to issue a football banning order on myself. I did not agree with the order and felt it was unjust and I was recommended to contact football law associates for help.

They were nothing but extremely helpful and professional and the lawyer I had bal was incredibly professional and represented my case excellently in court .

Because of the help from Robert, his colleagues in football law associates and bal I thankfully won my case.

I would strongly recommend everyone to go with this law firm.
