Fantastic company. Had the pleasure of mainly dealing with Mia Ashton. She was so friendly and very professional. Great outcome … More for my son who kept his licence over two speeding offences. The Barrister she appointed was amazing and put my son at ease. All round a great company and would highly recommend.Thank you! -
in the last week
I contacted Patterson Law via email through their web site with a question regarding a motoring offence. I was surprised … More and delighted to get a response within the hour. They discussed my question at length with no hint of needing to hurry through the process. This was then followed up with a lengthy email from them reiterating the points made in the conversation. There was no financial cost to this piece of advice so I consider that rates as "Good value"

Our Legal Expertise
We don’t want your money unless we can genuinely help! Every case is initially assessed by Emma Patterson, our Primary Motoring Solicitor and legal spokesperson to the Association of British Drivers.
We are often referenced in the press in motoring offence related articles such as this one in the Daily Mail
Additionally Emma is often asked to take part in media interviews such as this recent BBC Radio interview with Mark Forrest discussing some of the more frequently misunderstood motoring laws and offences:
“Firstly, can I thank you and Emma for your time and help today. I called several legal firms … and to say that you stood out from the crowd is such a massive understatement. Right from my first call in you all acted so different to everyone else.”

Read What Our Client Say About Us;
“At first I was rather sceptical about using a firm that I had never heard of and that were based many miles from me. I certainly needn’t of worried. You, personally, have a very calming nature and I found it very easy to talk to you and, in return, you made everything as clear as possible to me.” “I was concerned that I would not meet my barrister until shortly before my court appearance, but once again I need not have worried as Vanessa was very good at allaying my anxieties and was fantastic in court."
Testimonials
You were absolutely perfect from start to finish. Not sure you can improve, just keep up the great service. Thanks again.
Thank you very much , I will continue to use you and also will tell my friends etc that you guys are really good professional
I heard today that no charges will be brought against me. I wanted to thank you for your initial advice which encouraged me to defend myself and your advice how to proceed. Thanks for keeping me posted at all times with progress. I can't thank you enough, this decision is a huge decision off my shoulders.
Jason Rosser was our progression officer and from start to finish we were kept informed by emails and phone calls. He was kind and very helpful. With his help our daughters case was dropped by the CPS and we cannot thank him enough. Even when Jason was on annual leave Ian took over and was in contact with us for the week, there was always someone there you could speak to. We highly recommend this company if you are in need of help with a driving offence. Thank you everyone who was involved with this case, we really appreciate all what you have done for our daughter and ourselves.
I am really sorry for bombarding you with emails and phone calls when you were on top of things but you have to know that from our end things are different. I have never been taken to court and was nervous and panicky. The process was a long and tedious which did not help me at all, but thank you so much for your dedication to my case and most of all, thank you for putting up with me during that difficult moment. This means a lot to me and my family. Thank you very much Rachel. Emma - Thank you for putting me at ease during my first call. Your initial free advice was priceless and things turned out as you advised. i was also glad that I have decided about representing myself or being represented by others. My last thanks goes to young Kirsty Day who was really, really brilliant at court. She initially tried to have the case thrown out but managed to nail a Not Guilty verdict which was a music to my ears. I had stressful and sleepless nights over the last 7th months.
Your input from the off was fantastic, morale boosting and demonstrated a lateral thinking approach for defence that neither of the 'home' based firms I use ever mentioned. I cannot thank you all enough for what was a great result for me, my family and colleagues.
