Reassuring free advice

I recently found myself at risk of totting up 12 points and expecting the worst outcome of a driving license ban . I saw that Patterson offered free legal advice online and was given advice via tel and email by Rachel Saunders.almost immediately I really appreciated speaking and linking with a legal expert who helped me understand my options and explained clearly the process I was likely to face. It helped me at the time move forward with some decision making. It was very helpful being able to get free advice.

Excellent Service

I engaged Patterson Law but, following an initial consultation, no longer needed their services. I appreciated that I had agreed to a fixed fee and that, under their terms, they were entitled to decline my request for a partial refund. However, they kindly agreed to charge only for the time spent on my case, which I felt was a very fair and professional approach. I would have no hesitation in recommending them. Particular thanks to Clare Hudson and Poppy Kelso for their help and understanding.

Great service

From initial contact the firm provided me with free guidance which made me far better informed before deciding whether to proceed with appointing a solicitor. Ultimately I went with Patison Law and Ashleigh Pearce and Dominic Smith assisted with the mater. Both were professional, knowledgeable and great at communicating and their valuable input had a huge impact on the outcome. Would 100% use this firm again and would recommend to anyone faced with potential motoring offences.

★★★★★ Outstanding service, worth every penny I can't thank Harry enough for everything he did. His hard work and dedication were obvious throughout, and the result on the day was better than I could have hoped for. His fees were worth every penny, and I'm so grateful. A special thank you to Caroline as well, who played a big part in making everything run so smoothly. I'd recommend Harry and his team without hesitation. Michael

From the first point of contact, from the call handler who took my details and query to the excellent Solicitor who was professional, polite, and stood out to me from the firms I had called that day. I will be instructing this firm as to me, Patterson Law gave me excellent advice, did not drown me with legal terminology. Excellent firm and I will be sticking with this firm now and in the future. Excellent firm I can not recommend enough!

Thank you Dee for sharing your experience with us. It’s lovely to know you felt comfortable with the advice you received, and we appreciate you choosing us to help going forward.

Extremely Disappointing Service – Save Your Money I contacted Patterson Law following a speeding offence that put me at risk of a driving ban. As the owner of a construction company, losing my licence would have devastating consequences for my business, employees, family and finances. I was assured they could assist me with an exceptional hardship application. I paid just under £2,000 and spent considerable time preparing substantial evidence demonstrating the impact a ban would have on myself and others. However, on the day of court, I was incredibly disappointed. From my perspective, the solicitor representing me simply handed my evidence to the court. I witnessed no meaningful attempt to argue my case or actively defend me in the way I had expected. I subsequently received a six-month driving ban, which has had severe financial and operational consequences. My business is struggling, my livelihood has been affected, and I am now facing serious financial difficulties. My experience felt like I had paid nearly £2,000 for an administrative service rather than legal representation. I could have submitted the paperwork myself and saved the money. I appreciate that no solicitor can guarantee a successful outcome, but I expected someone to actively fight my corner, not simply pass on documents I had prepared myself. I would strongly advise anyone considering Patterson Law to think twice. Based on my experience, I would not recommend their services.

We are sorry to read that you are dissatisfied with the service you received Jay. As you have not raised these concerns with us through our formal complaints process, we would welcome the opportunity to properly investigate them; given client confidentiality, a public forum is not the appropriate place for us to respond to the specific circumstances of your case.
