Mr Masood represented me for a matter of drug driving. Unfortunately this was the second time I had been charged with this offence and due to my previous convictions I faced the real prospect of a custodial sentence. Mr Masood was able to expertly mitigate on my behalf, expressing my personal circumstances and persuaded the Court to suspend my sentence. I am extremely grateful for his efforts.
