“I was represented by Mark Kelly in November 2022 for a case which had come up three years previously. From the outset, Mr Kelly not only showed the highest level of professionalism but was also exceptionally supportive and positive throughout the process. He helped me understand legal terms and procedures simply and coherently, decide the optimum possible outcome for my case, and come up with a plan of action to achieve that outcome. During the hearing, Mr Kelly vouched for me as a character and as a member of the community. He demonstrated to the court that I was remorseful for my offences, had taken steps to make amends, and had a low chance of re-offending. He also assured them of my genuineness in admitting my mistakes, my potential as a human being and the fact that I was not the same person as I was when I committed the offences. In addition to his professionalism, Mr Kelly guided me through the steps in a gentle and supportive manner, which greatly helped to put me at ease and smooth out the process for me. Thanks to his representation, the outcome of my case has allowed me a second chance at living a good life. I am hugely grateful for the integral part he played in allowing me this chance”
