Are you accused of a crime? Don’t be the victim of a miscarriage of justice!


Demand the best defence with 2nd Opinion Now solicitors


Te cornerstone of any democ- racy is the rule of law — which means that anyone accused of a crime should be treated as being innocent until proven guilty. In practice, the opposite is true, as many believe that there’s no smoke without fire and thus, if you’re accused of a crime then you must be guilty. If you’re accused of a crime,


demand the best representation — demand 2nd Opinion Now. Te team of solicitors have


helped prevent countless miscar- riages of justice and are often asked to help appeal unsafe convictions or unduly harsh sentences. Here are a few exam- ples of the team’s stellar work:


REGINA V LX An international fine art student had their laptop stolen during a burglary. It contained three year’s worth of work, which he required to secure employment. Te police said they couldn’t help. He had a tracker alert sent to his mobile phone, when the


laptop was


restarted. In a state of despair, he decided to confront the burglars, with the intention to buy the computer back. He took a knife with him. Once in situ, he called the police again to see if they’d attend. Tey did, but arrested him and not the burglars. He was charged with possessing


an offensive weapon in a public place. He faced a criminal charge and still hadn’t recovered his work. He became suicidal. 2nd Opinion Now fought for him and secured a unanimous acquittal.


REGINA V GS A businessman was accused of hiring a hitman to dress up like a postman, go to his house and kill his wife. Te hitman alleged that he’d taken the money, but not gone through with the plan. Te hitman became the star witness in a criminal trial against the businessman. 2nd Opinion Now secured a unanimous acquittal by demonstrating that the

hitman was a habitual liar, who potentially had been recruited by competitors to destroy the accused and his business.


REGINA V FM A property developer was accused of going into a property and attacking a subcontractor with an axe. His alleged victim, according to three eye witnesses, ran into a bathroom and barri- caded himself in, while the axe was used to attempt to break in. At trial, it was shown that the


whole incident was a fabrication of the truth and that the three witnesses were all rival developers.


A unanimous acquittal was returned by the Jury.


REGINA V JP A chiropractor was accused of sexually assaulting a patient during treatment. His profes- sional status and business were put in jeopardy. He always protested his innocence. It was demonstrated that he was indeed innocent and he was allowed to return to work and maintain his professional status.


REGINA V MB A businessman was convicted of GBH and sentenced to six years


imprisonment. 2nd Opinion Now successfully appealed and showed that key defence evidence hadn’t been presented at trial. Te conviction was quashed and compensation was paid by the businessman’s former lawyers.
