Simply Superb - you will not find better!

Motoring Defence Solicitors supported me in my defence against two driving offences, one relating to insurance and the other a speeding ticket.

The quality of guidance and support provided by Gillian was superb throughout. The issues were discussed in detail, and options and probabilities thoroughly explored to enable me to come to the best conclusion as to the optimum course of action. Gillian has a highly professional and non judgemental manner that immediately put me at ease and left me in little doubt that I had high quality support in these matters. The requisite paperwork was dealt with in a very efficient and effective way and she was persistent and robust in pursing the matter with the Court beforehand, a characteristic that later served me well in Court.

On the day we had a slice of luck with the CPS failing to produce appropriate documentation despite having 9 months to prepare, but as a result of the detailed preparation put in beforehand the Barrister provided by Motoring Defence Solicitors was able to capitalise on that to secure a positive result. The quality of support turned what would otherwise have been an anxiety-inducing disaster into a very positive experience.

I would absolutely recommend Motoring Defence Solicitors and Gillian - they will make sure you get the best possible outcome under what might be very trying circumstances. Their process is simple and elegant, their fees reasonable in the context of the excellent support they provide, and the whole experience has been universally positive.

Don’t think twice just do it!!!!

I found motor defence solicitors online literally just by trying to find a representative, I had a look at the reviews and at that time it was probably around 4.7 but stories were positive and just the sheer determination I just plunged and gave them a call. What’s the worse that could happen? I was already facing it. Spoke to Gillian who was lovely, understood my work schedule and didn’t give up on me. Court put my charges up from drink driving to unfit to drive but Gillian kept me reassured. Court failed me a few times telling me to come back or in the wrong court whilst dealing with a lot of health issues. On the last day had a swap in solicitors but Gillian made sure she brought out her best and that was John absolute gem! Fought my corner without even stepping inside the court and my case was DISSMISSED!! I was in shock!!! If you’re thinking of motor defence don’t think just do it!!

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.

Gillian

In my initial conversation with Gillian I immediately felt reassured by her grasp of my case and the knowledge and insight she demonstrated. She gave me confidence that the case could be resolved satisfactorily, which was confirmed shortly afterwards. A truly excellent performance on her and the company.

Initially I was really worried regarding the outcome of my trial. Instantly after speaking with Daisy about the facts of my case, I felt reassured and comfortable. Daisy prepared the perfect defence leading to me avoiding a 6 month driving ban. Honestly so grateful for the speed and knowledge she provided. Do not hesitate for Daisy representation regarding driving offences she really knows her stuff and more definitely worth the money spent if you want to save your driving licence. Thanks again Daisy really do appreciate everything you did for me.

Son charged with Driving under influence of Drugs.

We have a Son with special needs who was arrested for Driving under the influence of Drugs.
Gillian and the team were spectacular in understanding the circumstances we as a family had found ourself in and gave us great advice,constant support and clear information over a 16 month period whilst the Prosecution moved forward.
The legal thoroughness that Gillian demonstrated really ensured that despite our Son being Charged and going to magistrates court that the result was “Case Dismissed”
I am totally convinced that without this patient,expert, analytical support our Son on his first offence would have lost his driving licence and livelihood.
The Barrister appointed to us on Court Day was super professional and reassuring which meant a very stressful experience was handled brilliantly. ansupport

Would recommend anyone getting in touch with Neil if you are in a motoring predicament. Faultless service by Neil and his team. Had two cases prolonged over 1.5 years and couldn't be happier with the result thanks to Neil, John and Richard.

10/10 Service!! I had a drug driving case (cannabis) and was looking at a minimum of a 3 year ban. Neil and Richard were brilliant and picked up on crucial things the CPS was missing VERY QUICKLY. My case was dropped and I did not have to attend court for my trial which was perfect. Thank you!!! Highly recommend.

Durand is meticulous and very professional. I’ve had a terrific experience with him from start to finish on my ILR application. My case was somewhat complex but his expertise and skilfull handling is the reason I received the best outcome. I highly recommend Durand and Qore Legal for your immigration queries and rate his services 10/10✨

We firmly believe that we should not receive instructions just for the sake of doing so, particularly if the potential client does not need representation so when should you instruct a solicitor or representative to help you with your case? The aim of this page is to clarify that question and hopefully help you make a decision.
