When I learned that the police wanted to interview me in connection with allegations of a sexual nature made by a girl whom I had taught thirty years previously, my solicitor had no hesitation in recommending that I contact Martin Tracy. It is a recommendation that I shall always value. At a time of great stress and worry, Martin enabled me to look at the situation calmly and objectively. Prior to visiting the police station, Martin discussed the matter in detail with me. He also arranged for us to visit the police station on a day convenient for my personal and professional lives. He briefed me about police procedure, including what was involved in an ‘arrest’. On the day in question, he quickly established a good working relationship with the officer in charge of the case and examined the evidence, which he found to be distinctly flimsy. He advised me to sign a short statement drafted by him, denying the charges. He explained that there would follow a taped interview by the police officer and that I should answer ‘no comment’ to all questions. After this, I was released on police bail and Martin ensured that before we parted I understood fully the conditions of my bail. During the six months that I was on bail, Martin maintained contact with the police officer, giving me regular updates on my case, and he was particularly sensitive, kind and helpful when I was depressed. Martin was proved right about the allegations because the police decided not to prosecute for lack of evidence - not surprisingly, since there wasn’t any because the allegations were false. Martin was a tower of strength throughout and I might add that although I know he has cases referred to him by some of Britain’s most prestigious law firms, his fees provide excellent value for money.
