Anton, Rebeca & Chelsey have been excellent from start to finish. Professional and reliable at all stages, handling everything with care and attention to detail. Nothing has been any trouble and are fast to respond to any queries. Extremely knowledgeable in their field and without a doubt would recommend to anyone.

Rothera Bray put a strong hardship case for me successfully. I would like to give a personal thanks to Anton who was kind, approachable and I was impressed with his professionalism. If you want a lawyer who will work your behalf to get the best result then look no further. I can not thank them enough.

I recently had a legal issue I needed assistance with and was told of Rothera Bray by an acquaintance. From my very first conversation with a very pleasant lady called Rebeca, my mind was put at ease. Further along the line I was then in conversations with Chelsey, who too was great. Very professional and informative. I was kept up to date on a daily basis and the two people I mentioned truly made a terrible time, very manageable. I cannot recommend Rothera Bray solicitors enough.

We recently had a hearing with the TC. Originally we were not going to appoint a representative but last minute decided to do so. We were recommended Georgina Power of Rothera Bay Solicitors who I initially contacted to make enquiries. As soon as I spoke to her I knew straight away she would advise and help us to the best of her ability and that she certainly did. In a very short timeframe Georgina took ownership of all documentation which took a lot of pressure off us, never in the past had we dealt with such proceedings. Then she communicated via email and then arranged a teams meeting. On the day of the hearing we met and Georgina made us feel relaxed and confident going into the hearing. Georgina helped us get the result we needed and we were able to continue with our license. I cannot speak highly enough of Georgina and the firm. All emails were answered promptly and any question were always addressed. If there was a score to be had above excellent I would 100% give it. Thankyou so much Georgina.

I was put in contact with Georgina Power at Rothera Bray Solicitors following our request to attend an STL (Senior Team Leader meeting with the Traffic Commissioner). From the first conversation I was made to feel comfortable with both the professionalism along with the knowledge/experience to deal with our case. Throughout the process we were guided/advised in all area's along with the required expectations, a witness statement was prepared along with the required supporting evidence in advance of our case. At the STL meeting we were supported by Georgina verbally and on the back of this a positive outcome was achieved.

I have been working with VUS Ltd for almost a year now following a DVSA Stop and subsequent MIVR they were recently summoned to an STL Meeting at The Office of Traffic Commissioner, I advised the MD of VUS that it would be advisable to get a specialist Transport Solicitor on board to assist with this matter. I always give the names of 2 different Solicitors to my client one being Georgina Power who I had worked with on a PI for Woodspace Ltd (t/a C Dart). Thank you again to Georgina who did a very professional job and I will contact her again when I need to.

I just want to say how grateful we all are for all your hard work and conscientiousness. It was a daunting day, and Georgina and Anton made the crisis bearable for us all. The presentation and content was well orchestrated. We can’t thank you enough. Not only are you both dedicated to your work, but your knowledge and expertise guided us through to a good result. We will be eternally grateful.

I’d like to say that Anton represented us at a Traffic Commissioner’s Public Inquiry and did a fantastic job in helping us prepare. He also secured the best possible outcome with only a formal warning for the company and our driver. I can certainly recommend his services.

I had the pleasure of being represented by Georgina Power, her professionalism and extensive knowledge in road transport matters helped me prepare for and feel confident during my case. With Georgina's help I came away with a very positive result, I cant recommend Georgina and Rothera Bray solicitors highly enough. Very pleased.

Seeking information about my upcoming court case I wanted access to a professional that could advise on my specific scenario, not a generic lawyer. I heard about Anton Balkitis from a Logistics trade body. Anton guided me through likely outcomes and gave me the tools to be able to feel completely reassured and in control of my situation. Hopefully matters will not proceed further but if they do then I certainly know who to call. Thank you so much.
