Good result, in the circumstances.
I once had a brush with the (motoring) law and engaged a solicitor. I felt it was worthwhile too, despite the cost, for the same kind of reasons - saved me getting too tongue tied and resulted in a lesser penalty than I could have hoped for. The other advantage was that he "knew his way around" so managed to get us on early (when I was expecting to have to hang about half the day).
I came away with the impression that it's some kind of club and that as I was with a member things were a bit easier for me. That isn't meant to be critical, just my observation.
