I wasn't charged with a criminal offence but nonetheless a traffic charge that would have held serious consequences for my life. I have never been in a position in which I needed a lawyer before, and had no idea what to do.A friend referred me to Jessica Read and said that she was the best lawyer for driving offences. Knowing I wanted to take this to trial and fight for my rights I called the office.I went in to the office told them my story and never once was I treated like my case was less important than any of the murder cases they had upcoming.The office requested my disclosure and I never had to go to court until my trial. When my trial approached they had me in the office and carefully explained how the trial would unfold. There were no surprises.When I got to court the trial went exactly as expected. I had to testify but I was thoroughly prepared and not nervous. The cop lied in his evidence but Jessica challenged it. The judges decision was that there was reasonable doubt and I was found not guilty.Their prices were not cheap BUT YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.The whole team is outstanding, they know how to win. They were the blessing one in trouble can only hope for.
