In a world that can be stressful and challenging, it is encouraging to know there are truly person-centered professionals who are prepared to take the time and effort to make a difficult situation manageable. Joe McPherson is one such and I am truly grateful for the time energy and expertise, he brought to bear in my recent court case. It seemed fairly clear that i was facing a driving ban in the Kirkcudbright court, which has never not banned a motorist for a speed in excess of 90mph, let alone 98mph.  Thanks to the stirling work and meticulous attention to detail which Joe brought to bear an outcome of 6 penalty points and a £500 fine was a godsend. It has meant that my work as a community psychiatric nurse has not been disrupted and has not adversely affected my patients or other team members. The work that I do and my role and responsibilities are difficult to understand and even more difficult to explain in a concise manner in a court of law.  Joe demonstrated a masterful understanding of the complexities and was able to cogently express these to the court  in mitigation. His time and effort and the clarity of his fee structure meant that from the outset I had a clear understanding of costs involved. I would not hesitate to recommend Joe to others, who find themselves in similar circumstances. His comprehensive and realistic understanding of the law and professional manner are complemented by him being a genuinely nice fella.
