“I received a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) stating that I was driving without due consideration to other road users... having contacted Rothera Bray I was advised by Georgina to complete the NIP & also enclose a letter disputing it for (specific) reasons. As a consequence I received a further letter from the police stating 'Due to an administrative error on the NIP regarding dates & time we are withdrawing the NIP & no further action would be taken'. Many Thanks to Georgina & the team & happy to recommend in future. ”Ian W

“I got in contact with Rothera Bray solicitors after having 4 tacho driving offences, I spoke to Georgina who explained what the outcome could be and told me honestly. From the minute I rang her she kept in touch day to day even when she went on holiday. When I did go to court Georgina had arranged for Anton to represent me as he has 25/30 yrs experience in this field. On meeting Anton he explained everything to me from start to finish, he put my case forward and spoke on my behalf. He did a great job as I was looking at a rather large fine which Anton manage to get very low. So it was well worth using Rothera bay and would definitely use them again if I had to. Very professional. Thank you guys.”Eddie
