In an outstanding result achieved by our Firearms Law specialist Laura Saunsbury, a registered firearms dealer’s son who was charged with an offence of unlawful possession of a prohibited firearm was recently spared from being sent to prison. After considering the representations Laura made on our client’s behalf, the CPS were persuaded that the circumstances of this case were so exceptional that it was not in the public interest to continue with the prosecution.

Our client, a young man who had never been in any trouble with the police before, was facing the prospect of a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years imprisonment. He received the good news just days before he was due to appear at the Crown Court last month to enter his plea. Our client and his family were extremely relieved and grateful.  In expressing his appreciation our client said the following;

“ Laura was very professional, she gave a great service and kept us up to date each step of the way. She sorted everything out so that it all went in my favour, which was a phenomenal relief to me and my family. If anyone ever asks me who I would recommend for advice on firearms law, it will definitely be Laura Saunsbury at Lewis Nedas Law. Thank you for everything you’ve done.”
