National Motoring Lawyers Reviews

Just a short note to thank you for all of your help over the last couple months. All went well yesterday. I am sure you heard from Imran. He was extremely helpful and put my defence very well, much better than I would have done. It was a real help to have your reassurance and professional advice.

A big massive huge thank you for all your excellent and professional help. The service you have provided me is outstanding. I am very happy with the result which I did not expect. I will definitely recommend all of my family members and friends in regards to any motor offences in the future.

Very professional and reassuring advice & a very satisfactory conclusion.

Many thanks for you efforts throughout the case. I am very pleased with Patterson Law, your efforts personally and those of Mr Phillips. I would not hesitate to recommend you to others. Please feel free to use this testimonial on your website.

You were simply superb defending me, thank you.

Paula, I can't fault the service I received. You were pro-active, professional and above all, brilliant. My expectations were always managed & I always knew what I was paying & the risks involved. Thanks for everything

This was very good and we are pleased with all your services. We will use this service again if needed in the future.

I'd like to thank you and your team for all your efforts on helping me throughout my ordeal!

When it became clear last autumn that I was going to face a “totting up” disqualification I was extremely upset and worried that if I lost my licence then I would lose my job. Therefore I took the decision to seek legal advice on the matter. I must have called at least 6 law firms before I called PattersonLaw; one person said they could not possibly represent me, as I had no chance of avoiding a full 6 month totting ban. Some others quoted a price that I simply could not afford, and some did not seem to have much of an idea about motoring law! As such when I called PattersonLaw I was becoming quite disheartened and had almost given up on finding someone to help me. I was very quickly put straight through to Emma, with whom I was immediately very impressed. She was not fazed by my situation, and instantly came up with several possible solutions regarding my case that none of the previous solicitors I had spoken to had mentioned. I decided on the spot that I would use Patterson Law for my legal representation. I was assigned Rachel Ballamy as my Case Progression Officer. I cannot speak highly enough of Rachel; she was incredibly efficient, friendly and switched on - in short a godsend. Like Emma, she was completely non-judgemental (even though we subsequently found out that I had two more speeding allegations in the pipeline that I had not been aware of, on top of my original three speeding allegations). I won’t go into detail as my case was quite complicated; in short, at one stage I was looking at 5 speeding allegations and 3 failure to identify offences, on top of an original 6 points. By the time I went into the courtroom I only had 3 speeding allegations to plead guilty to; Rachel had succeeded in having my failure to identify allegations withdrawn and we had managed to avoid two of the speeding allegations. I had discussed everything with Rachel at length and we decided that I should submit a plea of exceptional hardship. Going to court was nerve wracking to say the least, however it was incredibly reassuring to have a barrister with me, Mr Crumley, who had been fully briefed on my case by Rachel. Mr Crumley invited me to go into the courtroom to watch the two cases before me. Neither of the gentlemen had legal representation, and they were both heavily penalised by the magistrates. I firmly believe that had I gone to court without legal representation, I would have undoubtedly been given a full 6 month totting ban and a much greater fine. However Mr Crumley put my case across in the best possible manner and the end result was that I received a reduced totting ban of 28 days, after which the points will be wiped from my licence. I am absolutely delighted with this result; the 28 days is nearly over now and I am so relieved that when I am back on the road, the points will be gone. I cannot thank Emma Patterson enough and particularly Rachel who was a constant source of reassurance; always sure of the facts, utterly pragmatic, and always one step ahead. I completely trusted her to do the right thing and felt that she genuinely had my best interests at heart. If I had lost my licence and job I would have been absolutely devastated - now my life is nearly back to normal and I am incredibly grateful to Patterson Law for this.

I just wanted to say thank you for the truly excellent service yourself and the Patterson Law team provided me with. Over several months you were totally professional,very reassuring, and able to clearly explain to me what was quite a complex and involved process. You instilled me with confidence and the outcome was far better than I had dared hope for. Ed Counsell, the Barrister was well prepared and very diligent on my behalf. Overall I'm very happy with the result and would recommend Patterson Law without hesitation to anyone with a driving related matter.

The service and advice given was both professional and as it turned out, accurate, with me taking points rather than disqualification, as the Court chose not to disqualify (which was my preferred route), but the Court awarded 5 points rather than 6, so giving me some saving grace should I get a further offence.

Thank you so much for representing me recently and successfully defending 2x cases brought against me. I was very impressed with your service throughout and delighted with the results you achieved. You demonstrated your expertise on speeding matters and made short work of getting the issues resolved. On that basis, you were an excellent choice and worked out great value for money. Finally, thank you for arranging the reclaim of my costs and for the speedy refund. I wish you prosperity and continued success for the future.

I thought that Gurjeet was absolutely fantastic and it was really helpful that you spent some much time with me prior to the hearing. I am obviously very happy with the outcome and the work that you have done for me. Hopefully I wont need to use you again but I will pass your details on if anyone friends need in the future.

Overall I am very happy with all of the service I received. I was a bit wary at first but was kept updated and able to keep in touch, and get a response any time required. I was made to feel like a valued customer who case was important on an individual basis. Truly outstanding service.

Just a quick follow up to say thank you Hannah for all your hard work over the past few months. As I’m sure you’ll be aware by now, Nigel was successful in presenting our case on Monday and we got the outcome we were looking for. I honestly can’t fault his professionalism, or your determination for that matter, you’ve both been brilliant. Thanks once again Hannah, I’m certainly glad I had you on my side!

Thank You!!! Most kindly, it was a real pleasure talking with you also and all the advice was very helpful and professional.

For primary consultation with Ms Emma Patterson I felt like a positive outcome would be achieved and it was. Daniel, without yours & Ms Helen Randall's expertise in court it would have been a much different outcome & would have cost me my career & a financial disaster if I'ld have attempted to defend myself. I have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone.

I very much appreciated the time you gave to my concerns on the verdicts after I raised those with you. I was not wishing to appear belligerent and I believe you handled my expectations with curtesy and professionalism. Please also pass on my best wishes to Emma and Laura. From my initial conversation with Emma and Laura’s excellent representation in court I believe Patterson Law not only met but went beyond my expectations. I am in your debt and would have no hesitation in recommending Patterson Law to friends and acquaintances

Outstanding, I couldn’t have been happier and more pleased with the highly professional skills and caring approach that Mariam showed when she represented me in Court. She is a very special person, and a tribute to her Chambers.

Just a quick mail to let you know that things have worked out just as you said and I have been offered the course rather than getting a fine and points. Your advice went a long way to reduce the worry of the situation and I am extremely grateful for the expert knowledge you brought to bear at no cost to me. I will not hesitate in recommending you to all I come across as well as on social media. Thanks again to you and Hillary for the superb service.
