The Founder

"It was encouraging to see that the Jury took less than two hours to come to a unanimous verdict of not guilty on all counts, although nerve racking at the time.
I appreciate the part you and your firm played in collecting and preparing the material used by my Counsel in getting the result we did. It is not easy to see whilst at the hub of it all that ones word against another will prevail even if one is telling the truth. But the statements you obtained and the supporting material displayed, plus your guidance on procedure was a great help and it all played its part in getting the correct result".

Geoff Taylor

“We were at this time also feeling very suspicious of anyone including you. I remember you noticing my reservations on our first meeting. What you may not realise is that evening myself and my husband both realised, purely through a gut feeling, that if anyone could help us it was you”

S Morrow

“I was accustomed to being dismissed as some desperate woman trying to protect her boyfriend but from the outset you listened to what I had to say. You earn my trust by always doing what you said you would”.

His success is based on as he says:

“I aim to provide a sympathetic, understanding and yet objective advice to my Clients. I am part of an important and honourable profession. I see it as my duty to know my work thoroughly. I am a truth-seeker, not case-maker. I believe that it is more important to protect the innocent than to convict the guilty. It is my duty to avoid those whose goals are inconsistent with my honest and unbiased investigation.

I am totally devoted and passionate about my work. I try to make the impossible possible by exposing the lie. I believe for every expert, there is an equal but opposite expert.” I do not use reference numbers as my Clients are human and will be treated like humans.
