How we help

We specialise in assessments and reports for people being prosecuted by TFL with mental health problems. The report you receive will be used as part of your defence against TFL and is specifically designed to meet with TFL’s own stated exemptions (described below).

TFL recently introduced new measures which allow for a prosecution not to be pursued if the defendant has certain health conditions. A key one of these is a provision for people affected by Mental Health issues which may have contributed to the offence being committed.

Mental health conditions affect people in many different ways and lead people to do things they would not normally.

The success rate for our reports is high and we pride ourselves on providing helping you in a kind, understanding, and respectful way. We have all made mistakes, not least when we are at our most vulnerable, and should be offered the chance to learn from these and not be handed a criminal conviction.
