Hello,
Hope you guys are doing well.
Last year I made a mistake that'll last with me for a lifetime..
Feb 2020: Received a community resolution for possession of Cannabis (shows only in enhanced DBS)
March 2020: Caught driving with- and tested positive, court ruled in October, disqualified from driving 12 months with £390 worth of fine including costs. This incident, 2nd arrest (for possession) was dropped (NFA) as the Feb. incident was still ongoing and disposed after the 2nd incident.
So I have mentioned both the Feb. incident as a warning/community-resolution and the driving disqualification as conviction, without any mention of the 2nd possession charge which was dropped/NFA.
What I want your suggestions with: is whether I should add a cover-letter or a writeup to convey my remorse etc. Since the incident I've gotten married with a total turnaround of my life, being clean for several months. I've even gotten myself a laboratory test from an accredited drug testing lab that shows zero consumption for past 6 months. (this report contains a formal witness statement, my purpose behind it was to attach it with my letter).
However, two of the solicitors I spoke to suggest I don't highlight my conviction. Yet I am of the idea they didn't pay attention to the bit where the two incidents happened back to back in a period of 20 days, and could fall under repeat offenses as they are both drug related.
Do you guys suggest I attach something as mitigation at this stage, or only under appeal should they reject me?
