Kings View fitness to practise defence barrister, Stephen McCaffrey, said:
“We achieved the best outcome possible for H in his fitness to practise case and hearing. “The client commented on our excellent preparation, human approach and contact.”
H, speaking after the successful conclusion of his case, said:
“If you value your career hire Ms Stock and Mr McCaffery.
“Mr McCaffery and Ms Stock are incredible barristers. They highlighted and dealt with dishonestly in my case leaving no case to answer.
“I was supported with a human approach throughout the whole process. Despite the hearing being via video conference, I was in constant contact with Mr McCaffery.
“DO NOT take chances on other representation, it is your career you are protecting, hire the best.”
