As police officers we often face accusations, sometimes serious and sometimes ridiculous. No matter what end of that scale you could possibly find yourself I can not recommend Hayley high enough.
Firstly Hayley arrived to help after she had cancelled her personal plans. Then remained with me providing expert legal advice on the legal process and also the professional standards process.
Hayley actually attacked my situation with her impressive knowledge and professionalism. She was very proactive and challenged any issue that arose.
I felt that she was very supportive, realistic and went out of her way to help. Far beyond what I expected. The best solicitor I have seen so far
