“Words cannot express how happy I am with the service you provided.By pure chance I came across your website and was not sure if I could trust a solicitor firm that was not local.  How wrong I would have been if I went elsewhere.  You have been fantastic!

You definitely get what you pay for with Patterson Law.  I would be more than happy to tell anybody how professional, polite and organised you were from start to finish.

Words cannot express how brilliant you and your staff are at what they do. You are all a credit to the industry that you work in and there is always somebody at the end of the phone when you need them.  Thank you so much – without Patterson Law, I would be without my driving licence.” June 2010

"Patterson Law managed to select, recruit and retain staff with amazing client oriented skill. I was pleasantly surprised to see that everyone was able and willing to provide excellent, effective and efficient service in a cordial and easy going manner. Ms. Patterson appears to be one of the very few legal professionals having not only an excellent mind but also a very good heart. While dealing with my case Patterson Law demonstrated the highest competence, empathy and sensitivity I could have wished for and I take this opportunity to express my gratitude and to wish Patterson Law every success for the future."

The police have to make sure that the Notice of intended prosecution is served within 14 days of the date of the alleged offence.The police are not very adaptable and tend to miss the deadline if there is adverse weather or postal strikes. They always tend to send the NIP by first class post..

If you point out the delay they will often respond by saying that the NIP was sent out with suffiucient time for it to be delivered within the 14 days allowed. This is old law. There is a rebutable preseumption of service if it is sent with sufficient time for it to be deliever but you only have to cast a doubt that it was delievered within the days days to win the argument.

There are exceptions to the rule if you have moved recently and not updated your address at the DVLA or if you have only just bought the car, so don't be too quick to reach the conclusiuon that you have a defence.

If the police have no excuse for the late NIP you may have a defence to the speeding allegation and we can help you.

You still have to name the driver but you can then reject the ticket on the basis that the police have failed to comply with s.1 RTOA 1988.

At this stage we might be able to persuade the police to take no further action.
