Having no previous experience of the legal system, I was extremely shocked and distressed to receive contact from the police regarding an allegation from years in the past. I took the step of contacting Johnson Astills for representation, and this was the best decision I could have made. Lucy-Ann provided clear advice as to how to proceed during the initial interview, and in my subsequent consultation with Helen she provided a clear but realistic outline of the process and potential timelines. Helen guided me through the investigation with great professionalism, and was always available for questions or advice despite her heavy workload. The team communicated well throughout the course of this matter. I am grateful that we were able to achieve the correct outcome, and this is in no small part due to the excellent work of Helen and rest of the Johnson Astills team.
