Geoffrey Miller Solicitors Reviews 

Before getting into the details, let me start off by saying Geoffrey Miller are one of the, if not the, best firm to represent you in a motor offence.

It started in January of 2022 when I was arrested on suspicion of drink driving and subsequently charged with a failure to provide a breath specimen.

We went through several initial discussions with Catherine on the lines of defence that can be used and after many case management hearings my case was listed for September 2022. The judge did not show up and the case was heard in the lower court in January 2023.

Despite, what I thought was a very strong case and excellent representation in the court by Phillip Lucas, the judge ruled against us. We were able to get the minimal sentence.

We decided to appeal because of our belief that the case is strong and our appeal should be upheld in the crown court. And then last week, I was acquitted of the charge and came out with a totally clean record.

The costs are high, but if the stakes are high you don't want to compromise on the quality. They were very responsive throughout the 1.5 years and extremely professional and thorough. Catherine ensured a complete understanding of the case, its preparation, and identifying the right expert witnesses.

And a special word of Phillip Lucas. His cross-questioning of witnesses, prioritisation of arguments, and calm demeanour needs to be seen to be believed. My previous experience of courts had been limited to TV and movies, but don't see how many barristers can be better than him.

Two final points of advice who is caught in a situation like I was:

1. Do a thorough examination of your case on your own and make sure you have lengthy discussions on all points that come to your mind. The stakes are too high not to do so.

2. Try and arrange a conference with the barrister (there is an additional fee for this) prior to the hearing. It really helps in making sure everyone is on the same page and builds a rapport with the person who will be representing you in court.

Absolutely brilliant and hopefully I won't have any need for them ever again with the totally clean outcome I got in the end.

Review:

I had the privilege of having lawyer Louis Young represent me, and I am thrilled with the outcome he achieved. Louis handled my case with utmost care and expertise, surpassing my expectations by delivering an unexpectedly excellent result. His professionalism and skill are truly commendable. I highly recommend Louis Young to anyone in need of a remarkable lawyer. Thank you, Louis, for your outstanding service.

All i can say is thank you, unfortunately this was the second time round with GM, Firstly was a drunk driving charge last august, was acquitted of all charges, Secondly was a failing to provide charge which i was acquitted of yesterday, special thanks to Catherine who always keeps me up to date via email and phone call, amazing service!! On the day Mr Phillip Lucas was the man who got both cases thrown out, if you have any doubts words can not describe the service GM provide even if you think your case is hopeless they have saved my life twice now !!! hopefully the final time, worth every penny!!

5 Stars

All the staff were professional, available at all times by phone and email, friendly to speak with, they made me feel at ease during a difficult time.

This is brief, and I will be writing a detailed glowing testimonial

After being arrested, 2 days before Christmas, for driving with excess alcohol I thought it was inevitable that I would loose my license (+ additional consequences) for a sustained period of time. As far as I was concerned there were no mitigating factors, this was a black and white case to which I was bang to rights.
I initially contacted GMS for legal representation for my hearing where I intended to plead guilty.
Immediately GMS presented me with an option to plead not guilty, this was mind blowing to me, however they shared their success statistics and having read every review it seemed like a possible option.
I was supported throughout the whole process by Elizabeth Morrice and was given honest reassurance throughout.
I pleaded not guilty at the initial hearing and the trial was set for 6 months later.
As the trial approached it felt like the avenues for successful acquittal were closing on me and I couldn't see any hope and was resigned to being found guilty at trial.
On the day of the trial I was represented by Mr Phillip Lucas. The case was was dismissed prior to the trial commencing as a result of a successful technical/ legal matter and I was fully acquitted + awarded costs...!
Mr Lucas was incredible, it was like watching a Pub football team play against Brazil, there was only going to be one winner when things got underway.
I can not explain the relief of being acquitted from what I thought was a hopeless case.
The process is (re-assuringly) expensive and the 6 months waiting for trial was torture, but to walk away free from conviction was priceless.
If you feel like all hope is lost, then believe me, it is not.
Speak to GMS and trust their process.

Excellent service and assistance from Louis…
Constant contact with me…
My gratefulness to his team for the outcome of my case…
I sincerely thank them…

Received expert advice and representation for a failure to provide case. Everything was taken care of by Elizabeth and the team and my mind was put at ease and my stress levels lowered at this intense time. Communication was so important to them and they updated me regularly and answered everytime I called or emailed within minutes. I recommend a phone call if anyone has any concerns regarding a motor offence, it has absolutely saved my life as I would have had to change a lot in my life if I/they hadn’t of won my case.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Geoffrey Miller Solicitors for the efficient and effective service I received during a drug driving case. Justyna was brilliant, she was eager to support and gave high quality advice on my case supplementing this with information regarding all possible outcomes. As a client, I was extremely well informed and never in doubt that my case was in safe and secure hands. I was fortunate to receive support from two advocates at case conferences. All professionals provided advice and support of the highest standard. In addition, John Dye our Geoffrey Miller appointed Barrister, provided outstanding advice both pre- and post-trial continuing the exceptional level of support received overall. To conclude, I wish to thank all the staff at Geoffrey Miller for the outstanding service I received, and I have no hesitation in whole-heartedly recommending Geoffrey Miller Solicitors to any potential client who requires a high quality and supportive service.

My case was handled by Austin who was always there for me and honest whether I liked to answer or not.
Great service and got me a great result.
I would thoroughly recommend their service if you want a good outcome. I really wasn't sure if I could get a result but due to their combined efforts and experience I was totally vindicated on the day. Also my solicitor on the day Mr Lucas was amazing and he was very knowledgeable and got my case dropped by the magistrates.

All I can say is literally unbelievable, Jeanette Miller makes the whole horrible experience a pleasure and I actually look forward to her call. Its not enough but I will be forever grateful.

Where do I start !
It's true what they say you get what you pay for!
All the team at GM were amazing!
From Saskia setting it up to Elnaz who was my case handler and then finally my advocate!
The service was second to none and Elnaz was with me the whole way reassuring me,
On the day we got the best possible outcome and prevented the ban!
I am grateful for all the team working so hard for me! A huge thank you and I would without doubt recommend !!

Great service. Keep you posted with every single detail and their advice is spot on. Elnaz was amazing. She made sure I was aware of everything that was going on and what options I had.

The whole experience with Geoffrey Miller Solicitors was excellent from start to finish. Elnaz was appointed to handle my case, preparing everything for court, and she was the absolute star of the show. Her diligence, professionalism and kind manner helped to prepare my case to the best advantage and she worked tirelessly to draw out every aspect that might assist. The advocate they appointed for me handled the court situation and represented me well, but I felt this was very much down to Elnaz' efforts in preparation. And best of all I got away without a totting up ban!

Thorough, knowledgeable, professional and also caring. The legal team covered every eventuality and kept me informed throughout. The firm were at my side every step of the process, especially when attending court with expert and experienced lawyers. The Barrister appointed to me made short work of the prosecution’s failure to provide proper evidence within the timescale given and then proceeded to prevent the court from adjourning to allow them time to try to do so. Fantastic result, case dismissed. I would happily recommend Geoffrey Miller. They are worth every penny.

I only read and heard positive reviews. I think it would have helped me if I had seen the outcome of a lost case. As you can imagine it cost me a huge amount of money and I now wish I had represented myself as this would have been much less damaging. I regret very much the decision to spend so much money on lawyers. I also regret pleading not guilty and I don't believe that I ever had a good chance of winning like I was led to believe. I wish I had just been honest as the result for me would have been vastly better and would have saved me thousands of pounds. The stress caused by this loss of money has been very difficult to deal with and I feel I made some very stupid decisions in this whole process. If I could go back I would represent myself and plead guilty and I'd be a lot more well off than I am today. I feel that the lawyers should have been more honest with me that my case was extremely weak. Early on the Magistrate appeared to be against me and I wish I had followed my gut and pulled out early on when I saw how he initially reacted to my case which got dragged out for many months added additional and unexpected costs. Again this put me through considerable stress and ended up costing over double what I was originally quoted which is something I am very upset about still. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

I would highly recommend their services to all. From the first telephone conversation we were impressed with the professionalism, knowledge, guidance and genuine care we received. Communication was excellent throughout our dealings, with regular updates via email and phone. And the outcome was what we hoped for. We couldn't have achieved this without the specialist knowledge of this firm. Austin and his team were fantastic. They know what they're doing! Worth every penny.

acquitted!!!

Geoffrey Miller solicitors are incredible from the beginning to the end.
They did a fantastic job in winning a Fail to provide a Specimen case.
. I went on research, the review on trust pilot was what motivated me (4.9)
and I decided to give them a call and I got Saskia on phone. her word of encouragements after been on phone for over an hour took the fear off me.
with special thanks to Saskia and Nadia although I haven't got the chance of speaking to you ladies again just to say that both of you are amazing..
Austin was so professional and reassuring me throughout this case Thank you so much ,

I was delighted to have been acquitted from my trial, not having a criminal conviction and still keep my driving licence was particularly important to me as a Courier driver. Geoffrey Miller Solicitors are absolutely amazing, I would highly Recommend and will forever grateful.

Found GM Solicitors very professional and diligent. They kept me informed every step of the way, I felt I was in capable hands and had a successful outcome.

First class and professional service throughout, with special thanks to Saskia and Phillip.
I was delighted to have been acquitted from my trial, not having a criminal conviction was particularly important to me as I work as a health care professional.
I will be recommending to anyone and will be forever grateful.

My names Callum, I recently used Geoffrey Miller solicitors and they were incredible from start to finish. I was in contact with Elnaz who was amazing at keeping me constantly up to date with how things were going before the trial date and then on the day of the trial I was represented by somebody called John Dye, he was very professional and even managed to install some confidence in me about how things might go. I won the trial in the end, being found not guilty all round.

I have hopes to be a professional athlete and with a criminal conviction this wouldn’t have been possible, Geoffrey miller has given me back my future and I am very grateful, I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
