Drug driving Case thrown out thanks to the work of Neil and Richard! Neil was so informative right the way through my case and not once did he butter anything up. Needed my license for work etc and I can safely say these guys know what they are doing in this game. Highly highly recommend thank you MDS!

To say that Motoring Defence Solicitors are the epitome of a true and proper advocate to deal with your case is an understatement.
Right from the start, trying to find a Solicitor specialised in the field, willing to actually listen to the circumstances you may find yourself in, is a tricky process, until you speak to Neil and the team.
Right from the start, you are treated properly and professionally, your side of the story is heard out and understood, rather than be told by other solicitors(my experience) that you are better off just putting a guilty plea in to save the hassle.
My case of a DR30 was one that started in 2020(days prior to the pandemic) and finished in 2023, and throughout a 3 year emotional rollercoaster, Neil was by my side, guiding the process like the true expert and professional that he is.
He will meticulously look through all the details, and be honest with you whether you have a case, alongside provide examples of all potential outcomes while keeping a positive yet realistic insight into the circumstance you may face. After which he will pursue making the correct correspondence and filings with the court. He never left me alone or in the dark in all stages of the process and ensured that I was kept calm throughout the process.
After numerous hearings, mess arounds with the court system(no fault of Motoring Defence Solicitors) and a frankly shocking decision in magistrates, my conviction was quashed in the court of appeal, one year after being provided an unlawful conviction in the Magistrates.
All correct avenues were justly provided and approached by Neil, Barristers J Dye & R Saynor(titans in this field), to successfully win my appeal and get my license back and allow me to get back to normal life when no wrongdoing was commited.
Speak to MDS before giving up all hope, they provided me with more than glimmer of this when I genuinely felt there was none left.
I can't thank them enough and can honestly advise anyone facing a Motoring Law related offence to speak them first before considering alternate avenues.
Thank you to everyone at MDS, for helping during a tough time and not giving up

Mr Singh, we just want to say a big thank you for your review. This sort of feedback means a lot to us. We've passed your feedback onto Neil especially this line: "3 year emotional rollercoaster, Neil was by my side, guiding the process like the true expert and professional that he is." We're very lucky to have Neil on our team, someone who genuinely cares about people and doing his job to the best of his ability. Thanks again and all the best :)

My experience was nothing short of brilliant as far as drug driving cases are considered. I came to Motor defence solicitors with a drug driving charge and I am so happy I did. My case was dismissed before trial after pleading not guilty at my hearing and I can only thank Neil for that. It is never an easy experience when you are looking at potentially losing your license and having a criminal record. The whole situation can really mess with your head. But Neil and the team are true heroes. I say this as someone who really experienced the whole roller coaster of dealing with this kind of situation. So supportive and always reassuring that your chances of winning this case are real. If you are reading this as someone who is in a similar situation (Drug driving offence) it is most certainly worth taking the chance. Of course everyones situations are different but I still encourage you to pick up the phone and see what they have to say. I also hope that if you are going through this situation, try and remain calm. Things will get better with time.

This is the second time I've used Neil Sargeant's solicitors over the past few years and like the first time they got results for me, I managed to get the best result possible for my case and with their solicitor John Dye, they will be honest with you about your situation and not try and dress it up , would recommend to anyone.

Outstanding Service
I sought Neil Sargeant’s help with an appeal against a drink driving conviction after reading excellent reviews and success statistics online – how accurate they turned out to be! Neil’s knowledge of motoring law and police procedures is encyclopaedic. From the outset it was clear that the matter was in expert hands. Communications were excellent; Neil and his colleagues dealt with all calls and emails promptly and efficiently and explanations were always in clear plain English. The fixed inclusive fee, which was modest considering the levels of expertise and service provided, also gave great peace of mind. Another big positive is that Neil only uses barristers who, like him, are specialists in handling motoring cases with a highly successful track record and with whom he has worked for many years. In my case this was Mr John Dye and suffice to say, thanks to these two brilliant professionals, the appeal was successful.
