S. R. Targett
Crown Court matter
I was facing a ban that would have cost me my job and my home. Lucy explained the exceptional-hardship process in plain English, prepared the evidence properly, and won the argument at first hearing. I cannot recommend her enough.
D. H.
Motoring — exceptional hardship
Arrested at 11pm. Lucy was at the station within the hour. Calm, clear, professional — completely different experience to the duty solicitor we'd had before. She gave me my best chance at the worst moment of my life.
