I was represented by Caroline and her team on two occasions for low range drink driving within less than 4 years of each other. The first time she got me off on a section 10 even though I had a high range prior before that. I could not believe it when she managed to get me off on a second section 10. I highly recommend her firm if you find yourself in front of a magistrate. Thanks again Caroline Maurice

From the first time I meet with Caroline for a mid range drink driving charge, she put me at ease and made me feel as comfortable as possible in a very uncomfortable time. Caroline informed me of everything I needed to expect for my upcoming court case and all the things I needed to do to try and receive the best possible outcome. Her communication throughout the whole process was second to none, as was the way she defended me at court. I cannot recommend Caroline highly enough and would like to thank her for her efforts.
