Reviews
John is a good lawyer, he has helped me alot in the past and has helped me also very recently, the situation with the court system and them still using Covid as a reason to extend cases beyond the usual 12 month time limit is causing a lot of peoples cases to be decided unfairly without any real options for the lawyers to protest this due to politics and writing in new laws during the covid pandemic. I had a very bad decision on a 2.5 year old case where one of the prosecution witness's they summoned sided with our version of events which would mean we had their witness coroborrating our version of events yet the judge still found me guilty on the third party driver's lies, the court system itself is a prejudice place and if you are the accused any lies will do to convict you. The judge threatened to me that I should of received a custodial sentence for driving my car at 15 mph to over take another at a set of temp traffic lights which resulted in no injury or serious damage, infact the other driver caused most of his own damage by ramming my car purposefully after both cars had stopped. Police did nothing to secure the cctv footage of this ofcourse and I recieved 240 hours community service the maximum possible, the scottish court system is highly flawed and corrupt especially when you have a previous record, evidence and court procedure do not apply most times when inside these court rooms it's literally a judge who is either in a good or bad mood on any given day and this is not how a justice system should be run, it should be run on what the law states " beyond reasonable doubt" . Like many lawyers right now John is dealing with the sad state of affairs that the criminal justice system is in, he is a good lawyer ! 😉
Mr good represented me today at court he tried his best for me as could do ,I appreciate it .
Communication before the trial was awful. Never did Mr Good get in touch with me first, even when dates had clearly changed, it was not brought to my attention and when I did desperately reach out I was almost always answered days later. I was told with me having to wait almost 18 months for my trial date that it gave us plenty of time to build a really strong case. However, it never felt like we took the time to do this, he scribbled down what had happened when I first ever met him and then never again did we go over it. With Mr Good having my only fresh account of the night, I relied on it being typed up in full for me to go over ready for the day of the trial, sadly all I had was some second hand drafted notes with lots of details missing. Mr Goods’ efforts on the day I cannot overly fault, despite the outcome not being as desired, he did appear to try. I am not one to ever give bad reviews, but I want it to be made clear that if you feel you may require a higher level of care, reassurance or updates, then Mr Good unfortunately is not your man.
John Good is a great lawyer and is very trustworthy.His colleague Gordon Stewart is also very competent.Both of them are a safe pair of hands if you need legal representation.
