I am so impressed with your expertise in this field, it is beyond me, words can't explain how grateful I am. This certificate holder was charged with possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of unlawful violence.

The jury accepted that he had only threatened lawful violence in self defense. — West Midlands certificate holder

Metaphorically miracles can and do happen, providing you engage the right barrister who can perform such feats, Nick Doherty is one such barrister. In my case Nick successfully argued that the generally accepted default" tick box " position in relation to firearm storage/security is not absolute. In essence I was in breach of the default position however as I had many other layers of security in place, Nick was able to secure a "not guilty" verdict. I could not recommend Nick highly enough not only for his knowledge and expertise in firearm law but also in the manner in which he executes his role. — John Corney, Dorset
