What others have said.

"A short note to ...thank... Stuart for the efficient and prompt way you dealt with D's traffic case. This was a stressful issue for myself and his mother (and of course for him!!) and we are most grateful for the straightforward and ultimately successful way it was handled. Hopefully we won't have to deal with similar matters in the future but if we do we will know where to come."

"Sundeep I have had a telephone call from MB saying thanks for getting his daughter such a good result and he was very appreciative of your efforts."

"Just a note to say how pleased we have been with the excellent Sunny Pankhania. My teenage son has been caught up in 3 silly but potentially serious incidents and each time Sunny was brilliant. Not only great at reassuring us, and always available with calls returned promptly, but also making a couple of key decisions which helped lead to all charges being dropped."

"I am relieved to hear that my worse case scenario does not seem to be quite as bleak as I might have originally thought, thank you again for putting my mind at rest. I am now more than ever resolved not to plead guilty when I am not so, and will heed your advice not to lose my bottle and stand my ground! I have spoken to Sundeep who continues to impress me with his diligent methodology and support."

"Stuart is absolutely fantastic: at our first meeting with him at the Youth Court he was competent, approachable, and gave us a great deal of faith in his ability. He dealt with the matter immediately and turned our "nightmare" into something we could work out"
