Great solicitors. Informative, helpful, and friendly. Matt helped me to successfully remove my caution without a hitch. He guided me through the whole process, explaining each step clearly. I definitely recommend them.

Matt was understanding throughout our conversations and explained my options and possible outcomes throughout the process. He helped put me at ease throughout the process and at no point did I feel judged for what had happened 12 years ago. I have now successfully had my PNC records deleted.

I thought about entering into this process for a number of years. If you are not sure, having an initial consultation with Matt will inform you about your prospects of success.

Mr Elkins & his assistant were firstly welcoming & interested in the case & came over as genuine from the start; I found that most comforting & provided stability at a most stressful time . He guided me through what the process would require & whilst giving me belief & confidence he stressed that he could provide no guarantees of success . He was friendly but professional & composed & his experience was evident. He was very kind & patient.

Matt has been absolutely amazing throughout the entire process of having my caution removed! It has taken almost two years (due to COVID backlog), but last week I finally received the final update from Matt about my caution being successfully expunged! From the very beginning Matt was completely honest about my prospects of successfully winning my case (as I did not have the most concrete reasons for removal), and he has always been available to answer any questions throughout the whole process. Even when I had been waiting a while for a new update, whenever I emailed Matt he always had a recent chaser to forward me which speaks volumes about his work ethic and commitment to his customers. I couldn't be happier with the outcome nor could I imagine receiving help from anyone other than Matt at Legisia.. Thank you!

Highly recommend, even if you are not sure, having an initial consultation with Matt will net you a lot of useful information, especially about your prospects of success, before any official commitment is even made!

Matt is a fantastic professional and true expert in his field. He worked over the last 18 months to remove my caution and I could not be happier with his services. He is quick to respond, thoughtful, empathetic and extremely supportive. Matt always made himself available for questions and went above and beyond to be helpful. I am very grateful for his help. Thank you Matt & Legisia.

An expert solution to a difficult and sensitive situation.
From the first contact I was treated with great kindness and sensitivity. This process could be quite difficult for someone to go through, for example reliving difficult situations. Matt was gentle, extremely competent and managed the process expertly throughout. Many thanks.

Brilliant service. Matt was very kind and understanding of my situation which I think is key when dealing with this area. I got a caution when I was very young, not understanding the implications of it back then. He explained the process clearly and I went for it, now everything has been cleared! Feels so good to have that cleaned off the record as it felt like such a weight. Thanks Matt for all your work. Highly recommend.

After reading Matt Elkins’ Trustpilot page before I contacted him a year or so ago, here I am leaving my review which feels like a dream come true. Matt Elkins represented me in my petition to remove my arrest record, and the deletion of my records from the PNC (and local records) were accepted.

I was arrested a few years ago after a domestic incident. It was a very upsetting experience which in no way warranted an arrest (which is something the police officer who interviewed me at the station had also told me). I was sent home with NFA and I naively thought that was the end of it. I was so wrong. The arrest was for a qualifying offence, which meant that it would stay on my record until I reach 100 years of age. When I found out this information, to say I had a meltdown was an understatement. I was in the middle of my degree and could no longer apply for volunteering positions due to the need for an enhanced DBS certificate. This record also halted my travel plans and filled me with a real sense of dread and anxiety on a daily basis, thus causing the deterioration of my mental health.

Not knowing what to do, I did some research on arrest record deletions and saw the same thing over and over again, worded differently: “arrest records cannot be removed”. However before I lost all hope, I came across Matthew Elkins’ Legisia website and found a blog post he wrote on the removal of arrest records. I very quickly got in touch with his lovely receptionist who got me into contact with him. I am so glad I made this decision. Matt is an expert on the removal of criminal records in this country and I felt like my matter was in very safe hands.

Matt was always frank about the prospect of success, and never made any promises that my record would be removed. He actually told me in our first phone call that arrest records can be harder to remove than cautions but that he had faith in my case and decided to represent me.

When I received my draft submissions from him before he sent my request for record deletion to ACRO I was stunned by how well he represented me. For the first time since I was arrested, I did not feel alone in defending myself. He built my case carefully and left no room for error - I could not be happier with the representation I received. Less than two months after Matt submitted my request, my arrest record was deleted from the PNC. The police force also decided to delete my local records after Matt sent them my submissions directly and they responded to him a week later to confirm deletion despite this being outside their retention period. I am so elated and to be honest, I still don’t think it has sunk in. This dark part of my life suddenly disappeared and it was all thanks to his help. I feel light and confident again.

Matt is an extremely thorough, intelligent, patient and empathetic solicitor. He genuinely cares about helping others to regain the freedom to progress in their chosen area of work, and granting them the right to move on with their lives. Everyone makes mistakes, but some of us are unlucky and have that mistake on record which is something that can negatively impact our lives. Thanks to Matt Elkins representing me, I am able to travel and volunteer/work worry free, and I feel like it is safe to be happy again. I am incredibly grateful. If you are thinking of instructing Matt to act as your solicitor please, please contact him. I could not have asked for more robust representation. He is an excellent solicitor and I will never stop being grateful for all of his help and hard work.

I was arrested and cautioned after an incident drinking with family. Once released and after discussions with my wife and other family members it became apparent that I did not actually do what I received the caution for.

After a Google search I found Matt at Legisia.

From start to finish he explained the whole process, the pros and cons and what was liking to be achieved. He was very open and honest about that although the evidence at first glance was in my favour to have the caution deleted that utimately it was still down to the police.

The way the statement/request for deletion was written was excellent and I can't thank Matt enough for what he has helped me with.

I would highly recommend Matt and his services if you are confident that you have be incorrectly punished.

Matt was highly professional and attentive throughout. A very quick turnaround and my caution was deleted 4 weeks later.

Matt was amazing as he got both my cautions removed. He was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Have been working with Matt for the last 15 months to get my caution removed. From the very beginning Matt was honest, supportive and determined to resolve my situation. He was open with me that there are no guarantees but also laid out his method for approaching the police. The whole process was relatively simple and you are supported throughout. Matt and his team were also patient in responding to my emails and concerns as things dragged on and I am very appreciative of that. Patience is the key in this process so do not expect instant results but be assured the team will do their very best. I’m now able to move on from a difficult upsetting time in my life and that’s priceless.

Legisia's work on my case has changed my life. I accepted a police caution in 2013 for possession of Class A drugs, which had placed severe limitations on my career and limited foreign travel opportunities. Matt and the team were instrumental in putting together my case, relevant mitigations and evidence. I am delighted to say that the police quickly agreed to remove my record and the burden it has imposed. I thoroughly recommend Legisia for anyone in a similar predicament - their knowledge of the processes and expertise in building evidence and making the case are priceless.

After suffering for many years with the burden of having a caution for Police assault and the issues this caused for my employment, I decided to take action and begin the process of removal.

Matt Elkins is truly an expert in this field, his advice is clear, concise and honest - there were no fake promises. He was professional throughout and quick to respond to queries. I was confident that regardless of the result I had the best case/representation.

Thanks to Matt, my caution has now rightfully been removed.

I can't thank Matt and the team enough for helping me remove two police cautions with different forces! Would highly recommend.

Matt and his team are wonderful and removed my 2 cautions which the police admitted were given incorrectly. Initially I was put off at the length of time to have my first meeting with Matt and then also the time for the Met police to respond. But Matt was being realistic and his experience shone through. Matt is empathetic, a brilliant listener and pressed my version of events at every stage. Matt only wanted to present the whole truth. I put all my faith into Matt and it worked. The police acknowledged their mistake and totally removed by my cautions and my DNA, fingerprints and photo. I highly recommend Matt – just be honest with him, and be patient; very patient – it will be worth it! Thanks Matt!!

Matt was fantastic from start and finish, very knowledgeable and would not have been able to get an old caution removed without his expertise.

Like many others I was beside myself with worry having received a caution for what I would consider a very minor incident. After researching the implications of a caution I was in total and utter shock at how underplayed this had been and the implications for my career.

I decided I had to act and researched solicitors that specialise in this. I came across Matt and after reading his reviews I knew he was the correct person to talk with. We discussed my case at length and he told me of cases he had being involved with similar to my own where he had success and others whereby he hadn’t. I found that helpful so I knew that the outcome might not be positive but I wanted to try nonetheless.

He took me through the process and we filed an appeal. Several months later the verdict was unsuccessful however he said we could appeal. I wasn’t particularly hopeful but Matt explained that I shouldn’t give up hope. After going through the appeal process and many months later I’m happy to say that the appeal was successful. I’m so thankful as it is a very stressful situation.

I can’t thank Matt enough! Highly recommended.

Matt was incredibly clear from the onset about the chances of success. His knowledge surrounding this area of law is extensive and his empathy regarding the emotional toll of the situation afforded me some comfort during the whole ordeal.

Matt is incredibly swift with correspondence and It is in your best interest to be as transparent and open as possible. Throughout the ordeal, he constantly liaised with me and kept me updated.

I can now continue the path that I had originally planned for myself and to Matt, I shall be forever grateful.

I had a couple of cautions that affected my chance of going to the states. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time and felt hopeless, I was so angry I didn’t fight it at the time. They were 2 different stations and the whole process took 10 months.
Thank you Matt for helping me and giving me a second chance. I can now go to the states and join my partner and start a new life!
