I would not hesitate to recommend Govins Solicitors to anyone requiring legal services. Their combination of expertise, professionalism and personal service made what could have been a stressful process remarkably smooth.

Driving Company Vehicle Without Name on Vehicle Insurance Policy I am an business owner. One of our guys have driven our company van but he has been caught in a police road check. He didn't know his name not in this insurance policy and he was not in a position to manage any vehicle insurance policy for our company vehicles. We have consulted Gorvins LLP for this situation. The firm has arranged Amanda to follow our case. She has listened and discussed our case in patience and analyzed our case in details. She has identified that the police has not considered our situation thoroughly. She has discussed reasonable defences with us and explained the legal procedure to us. My guy and I are not English native speaker. Amanda could manage to explain her legal point of view in a clear and precise manner without too much difficult legal terms. She could manage our case in a timely manner and guide us through the whole process. Finally the prosecution has offered no evidence and the case against my guy was dismissed. My guy and I have really appreciated Amanda team effort to help us for our case.

From our initial referral mid 2023 until satisfactory conclusion of matters in April 2024, the support and advice of Amanda at Gorvins has been fantastic. As well as true expertise of the relevant legal aspects, Amanda gained an extremely through understanding of our circumstances which she clearly articulated in her brief to the barrister. Amanda was responsive throughout and there whenever we needed her support and opinion. Thank you.    The attention to detail and the service I received was exceptional. The legal procedures and expectations were clearly explained to me from the outset. The support that I have received from Amanda McIntosh over the last few months has been superb. Great service and support. I would highly recommend this company, and in particular the services of Amanda.  Mrs S

From start to finish, Amanda McIntosh was extremely diligent in her dealings with my court case.  I required the best motoring solicitor for a speeding matter that has a discretionary disqualification. from the outset Amanda McIntosh | Associate Crime and Regulatory gave me suitable and reassuring advice concerning the matter and a pre requisite was put a sum of money on file before the process started. I was treated with the utmost respect and courtesy and was sent a composite file of the single justice procedure. It's important to remember that the advice given is based on the facts as they are and the retrospective outcome is not always guaranteed. Trust was achieved with Amanda and as a result - no disqualification plus a fine for speeding but a big lesson was learnt. A professional friend/confidence in a firm of solicitors was gained. Good work Amanda and also Gorvins Solicitors (keep hold of this one) Very happy with the result.

Amanda have been very professional and fast acting through out the time leading to the court date. Representations made prior to first hearing and leading up to trial were always on time. Definitely a 5 star service.                          28th April 2023
