Same advice.
Ignore these people (the miracle lawyers I mean). They are evil. They are playing on your distress and weakened state of reason, to offer you something that they cannot guarantee in 99% of cases. And getting very fat off it.
They probably justify it by typecasting us the way I typecast them. But what they are offering is a sham, so you shouldn’t fall for it.
But neither should you feel guilty. These people are easy to be lured in by. I did what many do on here and panicked. I phoned around loads of places. It wasn’t until I realised how keen they were to want the cash before the promises I began to realise, and they
kept - in a very friendly way of course - calling me back (always the first tell of a conman).
It wasn’t until I got to the third such example - who despite marketing himself as the same is either the most honest in his field, or the best at rejecting business(!) - who told me pretty much straight that he could help if I’d pay him enough, but that basically I was wasting my time and money. It was brutal but I really respected his honesty. I recall him saying through the haze that if Wayne Rooney and Ant McSlaphead can’t get off, what makes me think I can. DUIs are incredibly common, and the prosecution and court process is slick. They don’t make errors; they’ve all been made and learned from. I really respect that guy, he was an Irish fella if I recall. You don’t meet too many honest lawyers.
Even on the day I had these clowns calling me, begging me to plead not guilty and get my lawyer to work with them. No thanks. The desperation revealed the con to me.
So best either just to go with a local brief as I did, who was good at arguing a big fine instead of CS, or even better option is to save your cash altogether and go with the Duty Solicitor. Even though I was happy with my brief and he got largely what I wanted; upon reading this site since I doubt now that what I’ve credited him with couldn’t have been done to equal success by the DS.
I’ve read of some remarkable cases on here where the DS has played a blinder. Save your cash, cut the mental strife dead in one go and sack your brief. Instruct the DS on the day, plead incredible remorse and say you were conned by an ambulance chaser, and move on with your life. Trust me, they will actually respect your honesty rather than your excuses.
Like so much in life, you’ll start to feel much better when you deal with this in the right way, rather than the wrong way.
or is it a finger test type for visual feild sort and a board with letters on a 20m as that’s fine.
