Our client was accused of offences involving three women. His case was linked to allegations against Manchester City footballer Benjamin Mendy. After proactive representation by us at the police station and direct with the investigating officer, all three cases were dropped.
Our client assaulted a bouncer after being denied entry into a nightclub. One of our expert defence lawyers represented him at his police interview and persuaded the police to deal with the matter by way of a caution which meant that he avoided court and a criminal conviction.
Our client attended a police interview after being accused of touching a child sexually. We represented him and carefully drafted a prepared statement which confirmed that he was innocent. In the end, the police informed our client that they would be taking no further action.
MMS represented a professional lady accused of forging fraudulent prescriptions. She instructed our firm soon after her first interview. We submitted detailed representations with supporting evidence to the police. The case was eventually dropped with No Further Action.
