It cannot be overstated how relieved I am to have had my police caution from 8 years ago deleted from my record (and with very quick turnaround!) thanks to Matt's excellent support in my case.

Successful deletion was vital in allowing my professional dream to become a reality after recently securing a job in a Middle Eastern country, but then realising that an ACRO Police Certificate (required for my visa application) would state 'No Live Trace', therefore revealing my criminal record to the authorities and jeopardising my chances of following my dream.

Thankfully, Matt was able to assemble a case and successfully have the caution deleted within a very short timeframe, which was crucial in my particular case as my employer would have rescinded my job offer had it taken longer.

I therefore wholeheartedly recommend choosing Matt to support in any case of police caution deletion.

I worked with Matt recently to successfully remove a caution that I received over a decade ago. I hadn’t thought about the caution for many years and had almost forgotten that it was on my record until recently when it has caused issues with freely travelling to certain countries. Deciding to get the caution removed was a big step as I had to relive an uncomfortable memory from the past, but Matt was nothing but helpful, empathetic and completely professional throughout the entire process. He worked tirelessly with me to craft a strong submission and was always generous with his time and advice. Getting the caution finally removed is a breath of fresh air. Don’t hesitate to use Legisia legal, I genuinely believe he is the best in the country at what he does

Can’t thank Matt enough for his help getting my caution removed!

I was doubtful that it would be possible, however after speaking with Matt he was confident it could be done.

Matt was supportive throughout the entire process, he made sure everything was clear and all my questions were answered. His knowledge and experience of the law in this area are second to none and he put together a fantastic case for me.

I’ve just received confirmation that my caution has been removed and I couldn’t be happier. Would highly recommend Matt and the team at Legisia if you’re looking to get a caution deleted.

I cannot thank Matt enough for the help he has given me. I had a police caution for affray which was going to stay on my DBS record permanently. This was devastating as I wanted to apply to medical school and it felt like my future career was being blocked before it had even started.

From the very first call, Matt was professional, honest and reassuring. He explained everything clearly, kept me updated throughout, and handled my case with real care and expertise. Thanks to his hard work, my caution has now been removed, and I finally feel able to move forward and pursue my dream of becoming a doctor.

I am hugely grateful to Matt and would recommend his services to anyone facing a similar situation.

After six years, my case was finally resolved — and that says more about Matt than anything else. His persistence, professionalism, and calm expertise brought an end to something I thought might never be resolved. I am deeply grateful and highly recommend him.

In late 2023 I was arrested on suspicion of an offence under the Malicious Communications Act. This related to a tweet referencing current events which had occurred the previous day. Following interview at the police station and despite my explanation, I was issued with a Caution.
Over the following months I came to the conclusion that the police were in error and decided to attempt to have the Caution removed.
After researching a number of firms who specialise in this area I decided to talk to Matt Elkins at Legisia Legal Services. Matt has an excellent record of having Cautions removed and he explained the process in great detail. He worked closely with me before submitting his final statement and rationale to the police which I am pleased to say resulted in the police admitting wrongdoing and removal of the Caution.
Although I knew the outcome of this process couldn’t be guaranteed I wanted to stack the odds in my favour. Matt inspired confidence right through from start to finish and was professional at all times. If you need a caution removing I highly recommend you give him a call.

I recently engaged Matt Elkin to help get a police caution removed, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. Initially, I was very doubtful that this would even be possible and wasn’t sure what to expect from the process, but Matt assured me that it could be done. To my surprise, everything moved much quicker than anticipated. From the very beginning, Matt was extremely professional, efficient, and communicated clearly at every step. He took the time to explain what was happening and what I needed to do, which made an otherwise stressful situation far more manageable. The result was a huge relief, and I felt genuinely supported throughout. I would wholeheartedly recommend Matt Elkin to anyone in need of legal expertise in handling a police caution don’t hesitate , his guidance, knowledge, and efficiency will make all the difference.

I was in a very difficult situation: I had a caution for possession of cocaine that was blocking me from being able to move to the United States to marry my fiancée. From the first call with Matt and the Legisia team, they listened carefully, explained the process clearly, and reassured me when I was full of doubts.

What impressed me most was how thorough they were. Every piece of paperwork, every question I had, even the small ones, they handled with kindness, patience and professionalism. Matt never gave me false hopes, but he made sure I understood the chances, what needed to be done, and the risks.

When I got the news that the caution had been removed, it changed my life. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. Now I can move forward, travel freely, be with my fiancée, and plan my future without that shadow hanging over me.
If you are in a similar situation and are worried it can’t be fixed, I strongly encourage you to contact Legisia. Thank you, Matt, and his team.
