M.A.J Law Solicitors Avis 

Absolutely Unreal at what they do!!

I faced two charges. One of drink drive where I was 3 times over the limit and one of failure to report.

I pled not guilty to DD, very slim chance of being found the same. And guilty to failure to report.

Not only did John Fairhurst and the team around him work tirelessly to get me in the best possible position throughout, they appoint the very best barristers when it comes to court. These guys are the best of the best.

I was acquitted of the drink drive, as they cover every angle, I was looking at a 3 year ban. Incredible result as they had my key evidence thrown out.

But when it came to sentencing on the other charge, as I already had 6 points, I was looking at a ban and potentially prison due to the nature and seriousness, I walked out of court with my licence, a small fine and that’s that.

Not only that, they won 90% costs back for themselves, meaning I will get some of my outlay back. From totally bleak to ecstatic.

They are the best of the best, you may think it’s expensive but if you want cheap and cheerful, say goodbye to your licence and potentially a lot worse.

Thanks MAJ Law. You’re legends

I was facing two driving charges and was completely uncertain what the outcome would be, this week I left court with all charges dropped.
Connor, John, and the team at MAJ, kept me fully informed and eased any worries I had throughout the process and I can’t thank them enough.
They were also the firm which took my case on when others didn’t.
Would highly recommend.

Extremely honest and helpful over the phone , thank you

I had my doubts at times but they know what they are doing! Got me off from a potential driving ban....CPS dropped the case 2 days before the hearing.

Exceptional service from a fantastic team. Expert case handling, pro-active and excellent communication through out. Could not recommend more.

Really surprised with the free consultation. It was so helpful , thorough and informative. Jake helped me better understand my situation and alleviated a lot of my concerns. He knew his stuff and gave me lots of time for questions.

Spoke with James he was really helpful in his advice and would recommend using this company.

Very helpful and professional

Tom was amazing he knew what he was talking about, as he has been doing his job a long time. He comes across very polite and easy to talk to. If you need any legal advise on car law I would advise this company.

Would like to show my gratitude to everyone at MAJ Law for their time, care and effort in my case. I received the minimal sentence all due to their help and attention to detail in my case. I wish them nothing but the best and success and would highly recommend them.

Very polite and helpful, and informative

I am a HGV Driver, and I trunk throughout the night, and 1 stressful week earlier this year due to personal reasons I obtained several speeding fines over several nights. I contacted M.A.J Law and from the moment I spoke to them I felt reasured and confident they were the right company to help me. Through endless phone calls and emails through my wife, Rebecca Ikpeme and Lucy Mullen were so supportive and worked hard to get my points reduced to 9. The court hearing was the 27th August and James Findon was my Barrister and advocate as I was unable to attend due to work. We dont know how he managed but he got the points reduced down to 3. This has enabled me to keep my job. I can't thank all of you enough. I would highly recommend M.A.J. Law. Regards Nick and Jo

I hired MAJ Law to defend me against baseless drug driving charges brought by South Wales Police — a case that was ultimately dropped due to lack of evidence. While the legal outcome was favourable, my experience with MAJ Law was far from satisfactory.

They initially quoted a fixed fee of £5,000 + VAT, with the understanding that half would be paid upfront and the remainder in instalments after the case concluded. However, after appointing a barrister for the plea hearing, I was informed that any further attendance would incur an additional £2,500 + VAT. Shortly after, MAJ Law advised that they would not continue representing me unless I immediately paid the remaining £3,000 from the fixed fee — plus an extra £3,000 for the barrister to attend the trial.

This demand came despite clear signs that the CPS was unlikely to pursue the case. I believe MAJ Law exploited my limited familiarity with the legal process to pressure me into paying fees that were neither recoverable nor necessary. The hearing was cancelled, the CPS dropped the charges, and yet the barrister’s fee was not refunded.

In total, MAJ Law retained £9,000 for a case that never went to trial and involved minimal actual representation. Weekly updates were promised but never delivered. Their correspondence with the CPS lacked transparency, and when it came to recovering costs, they advised that only £567 was claimable — the equivalent legal aid rate.

This experience left me feeling financially exploited. If you’re considering MAJ Law, I strongly urge you to scrutinise their fee structure and demand clarity at every stage. Legal representation should be built on trust and transparency — unfortunately, that was not my experience. After this experience, I would suggest anyone in the same position to hire a barrister directly.

Any issues with the law these are your guys

Could not recommend highly enough

Fantastic experience with lawyers who responded quickly and achieved the result I needed. Couldn’t recommend any higher.

Very good advice

Phoebe was great In helping me get my disqualification lifted one year early. She went above and beyond in assisting and getting it before the Court for a decision. Would highly recommend Phoebe!

My experience with MAJ Law has been extremely disappointing. From the outset, I felt misguided and misinformed by the advice I was given. Despite assurances of expertise, their handling of my case ultimately led to a far harsher outcome than I believe was necessary.

Over the course of my dealings with the firm, I spent nearly £12,000 in fees, yet I was left with a 16-month driving ban, £1,200 in fines, and community service hours. This result does not reflect the promises or guidance I was provided.

In addition to the poor advice, I found the office staff unprofessional and at times outright rude, which only added to the stress of the situation. The combination of significant financial cost, poor communication, and an unnecessarily severe sentence has left me feeling let down and misled. At the beginning of the case I spoke to Conor Johnstone and I was told that this would be a case they can more then manage to handle. Few months down the line I asked the office workers to give me a number or email I can speak to Conor Johnstone I was told I wasn’t allowed to be given a number or a email of his which left me so confused and baffled. The solicitor who was in charge of my case Osian Robert’s who is more unavailable then available is by far one of the biggest scams and another Solictor who they always transfer me too harry bellis is nothing but rude and gives very short and unhelpful answers seemed like he doesn’t even want to be there. Anyways I managed to appeal and went to the crown court by MYSELF without any representation and managed to explain to crown judge of my situation and fortunately I managed to narrow down my ban from 16 months to 12 months and also the fine was slightly reduced.

Based on my experience, I cannot recommend MAJ Law. Beware guys. Your better of representing yourself then these lot.(and also few screen shot of the payments I managed to find on my accounts towards Maj law)

Saved my job, outstanding work all round. John kept on top of everything for me and eventually, after nearly 2 years the case against me was dropped at court. Life savers!

I was caught by an unmarked police car doing 103mph on the M56. As a self-employed electrician, a driving ban would have putme out of business. Harry took the time to go through my case and prepare a strong argument for exceptional hardship hardship. He guided me through the evidence I needed and represented me brilliantly in court. I walked away with 5 points instead of a ban. Couldn't recommend him more highly.
