Driving Offence

Stephen and Heather are so professional and knowledgeable of this sector. I needed guidance and support of what I was about to face to obtain the best outcome for me. Clear direction was given to me by meeting me in person and with follow up emails with what I needed to do. Police interviews with them present and then court proceedings. They assisted in getting me the best possible outcome which I am truly grateful. Without them I would most definitely faced a driving ban.

Thank you for taking the time to write this. It’s appreciated. I’m pleased we were able to guide you through each stage—from the police interview through to court—and make sure you knew exactly what to expect and what was needed from you. That clarity can make a real difference in how a case progresses. I’m glad the outcome avoided a driving ban and that the support we provided helped you get there. Stephen

Drink Driving Solicitor

I had an accident and was caught drink driving at an extreme low point in my life. I felt very low after this foolish and avoidable incident. My wife and I searched the internet for a solicitor who could represent me and give a good account of the unfortunate circumstances that led me to commit this crime. Online we found plenty of legal companies who promised to fight our case but when we did some research there were always so many bad reviews and stories about companies charging high fees and then not preparing the case properly, or turning up late to court. Luckily Stephen Oldham was recommended to us and we immediately felt in safe hands. Stephen was so thorough and realistic in his approach that it helped us come to terms with the situation and the possible outcomes. He helped us prepare the case in a very professional manner and so the day in court was manageable and the outcome was much better than we thought. If you are looking for a top solicitor for this type of case then I cannot reccomend Stephen highly enough.

I recently required legal representation concerning a serious charge of Unfit to Drive. Following extensive research, I engaged the services of Stephen Oldham, Specialist Motoring Solicitor. ​From our initial consultation, Mr. Oldham displayed remarkable integrity and candour. He provided an honest and realistic assessment of the challenges involved, avoiding any false optimism and clearly outlining the legal hurdles and the optimal strategy for defence. His depth of experience in motoring law was evident throughout this preparatory phase. ​My case ultimately proceeded to trial. During this period, Mr. Oldham provided consistent support and clear communication, ensuring I felt prepared despite the inherent anxieties of the process. He was reliably accessible for discussion and counsel. ​In the courtroom, Mr. Oldham’s professionalism was exemplary. He demonstrated meticulous attention to detail in the presentation of the defence, conducting the proceedings with such precision and rigour that it visibly impacted the opposing counsel. His advocacy was exceptional, resulting in a successful acquittal in my favour. ​I wholeheartedly recommend Stephen Oldham. His approach is professional, honest, and assured, marking him as an elite practitioner in his field.

From the beginning, Stephen’s communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Managing evidence, explaining arguments and setting realistic expectations, were all handled from day one. As a result, I felt fully prepared in court. The case was argued clearly and professionally in court, resulting in me avoiding a driving ban with no points being endorsed. I cannot recommend Stephen highly enough (though I intend to never have to use him again). Although every case is different, Stephen would undoubtedly be an advantage in any driving case.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. I’m very pleased we were able to achieve the right result for you, and that you felt fully prepared throughout the process. Clear communication and realistic advice are things I place great importance on, so it’s appreciated that you highlighted them. Every case turns on its own facts, but careful preparation and presenting the arguments properly can make a real difference. Thank you again for your recommendation — and I sincerely hope you never need my services again either. Stephen

Stephen was great throughout our case. He kept in contact, always updating us on the progress from beginning to end. Before we even stood in court he had negotiated a lesser charge with CPS. He clearly laid out all of our options and possible outcomes and in the end I walked away with my license having originally faced a ban. Highly Recommend!

I was facing a 12 month ban, which would have had huge consequences on both my family and business. Stephen skillfully negotiated with the prosecution, resulting in 6 points and a fine - A fantastic result. I found Stephen to be professional, honest and realistic - In addition, he is thoroughly nice guy! - High Recommended

Excellent solicitor

I can’t thank Stephen enough for his outstanding support during a difficult time. He represented me in a serious driving offence case and secured a significant reduction in charges. Thanks to him, I can still provide for my family. He was always available to answer every question I had, with clear and prompt communication. His dedication and expertise gave me real peace of mind. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a top-tier legal advocate.

Highly recommend!!!

I cannot recommend Stephen highly enough. From the very first call, he was outstanding, clear, professional, and completely in control of the process. It was immediately evident that I was dealing with someone highly capable and very experienced. Throughout the case, he was extremely thorough, proactive, and handled everything with real precision and care. The outcome he achieved for me was far better than I had expected and made a genuine difference to my situation. If you are looking for a solicitor you can truly rely on, Stephan is exactly that person. Hats off to him for the work he did!!

From start to finish, he was both professional and genuinely personable, which made a stressful situation much easier to handle. He took the time to explain every step clearly, ensuring we fully understood the process and my options at all times. His expertise was evident throughout, and the outcome he achieved for me at court exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for someone who combines legal knowledge with excellent communication and a supportive approach, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

I honestly don’t think I could have got through this without Stephen Oldham and David Swingler. What I went through was one of the most stressful moments of my life, and I’m so grateful I had them on my side. From the very first call, Stephan was clear, professional, and gave me real confidence that I was in safe hands. And then in court, David was absolutely outstanding. From the moment I met him, I felt like I wasn’t alone anymore. He was calm, sharp, and completely in control not just doing his job, but genuinely caring. Between them, they achieved a result I truly didn’t think was possible. I walked out feeling a level of relief I can’t even describe. If you’re going through something difficult and need people you can truly trust, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second. I’m genuinely grateful hats off to both of them.

Thank you for such a thoughtful and generous review. I am truly grateful for your kind words and am very pleased we were able to support you through such a difficult and stressful time. David will both really appreciate reading this. Wishing you all the very best going forward.
