Getting the best results for you

I could not thank Andrew enough for helping me keep my licence! Could not have asked for a better result – section 10 dismissal!

G, Harris

Andrew is a wonderful example of a young professional in his chosen field. It would be with the greatest confidence, and no hesitation, that I would recommend his services and the services of First Offence Legal.

Client, E.A

On the final day of Court, we could not have been more informed, encouraged, and supported through an anxious time. The outcome was a very positive one and for this we have the team at First Offence Legal to thank!

Client’s father, F.R

Being charged with criminal offences was a daunting experience for me and it was really nice to be represented by someone that genuinely cared about what I was going through and wanted to listen to what I had to say. Andrew’s defence strategy was the reason I walked away with a clean record. I would highly recommend him to anyone facing criminal charges.
