There are always two sides to every story - and the police don't always get it right. More often than not it requires an experienced solicitor to unearth what can be done for you. For many reasons including employment and family circumstances drivers want to be able to retain their licence. The procedures the police must adhere to when taking breath or blood specimens are detailed and failure to follow protocol can result in a failed prosecution.

We have used the services of Acclaim Legal over a number of years. From purchasing property and selling property, to advice about estate planning and our wills. They are extremely professional and do not miss a thing! I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

I can never thank Michael Hume and all the team at Acclaim Legal for what they have done for me during a very most difficult time in my life. Michael is a genuinely compassionate person who cares about people, the legal service he provided me and the professionalism was of the highest standards. Most importantly Michael took the time to understand my personal situation, it was a blessing in disguise meeting Michael as he not only provided me the legal service but more importantly helped me on a personal level which I am forever grateful for. To you Michael and the team at Acclaim Legal of Carmel
