Makwana solicitors helped me understand my legal options - they were very clear and responsive
Thank you for your positive feedback. We’re pleased to hear that the team helped you understand your legal options and that you found their communication clear and responsive throughout.
I wouldn't bother with these, they don't help very rarely respond unless you send multiple messages. And if your facing criminal charges you got no hope. Well at least that's how they have made me feel. £3000 spent on pre charge engagement just for them to not do anything.
I'm sorry to hear that you feel you've had a negative experience with our firm. If you'd like to discuss this further, please contact us directly.

Thanks for the feedback. We’re glad to hear Shella provided outstanding legal support, with clear advice and attention to detail throughout the process.
My daughter got a fare evasion summons on her 18th birthday having dropped her phone so unable to tap out. We expected a fine but instead it was a threat of prosecution. She's doing A Levels and planning to go to uni in Sept so a prosecution would be devastating. With only 10 days to respond (3 of which were gone before we got the verification letter in the post, time was of the essence. I tried a different firm on Friday morning but by 3pm still had no offer of an appointment. By contrast, I contacted Makwana by whatsapp at 3pm and was talking to a solicitor (Shella) at 6pm (on a Friday) and had a list of docs to compile by Saturday lunchtime. Shella was amazing, clear, plain speaking, really explored all the details of the case, gave an overview of how the system works etc. They submitted a very strong case for us and, thank god, we were issued with a warning by TfL within just a few days of the submission. Shella and Eryk were just amazing throughout and were always responsive which kept the stress at bay through what was a very worrying time. I hope I will never need their services again but if I do, I know exactly where to turn. Thanks so much Shella and Eryk

Thank you for your detailed review, Jay. We're glad we could help at such short notice and that your daughter’s matter was resolved with a warning. It was important to act quickly given the tight deadlines and the potential consequences for her future studies. We're pleased Shella and Eryk were able to explain the process clearly, respond promptly, and assemble a strong submission that led to a favourable outcome. If you ever need assistance again, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Best wishes to your daughter with her A‑Levels and university plans.
I highly recommend Makwana Solicitors for anyone facing a fare evasion case. From the very beginning, their team was professional, responsive, and understanding. They explained every step of the process clearly, answered all my questions, and worked diligently to achieve the best possible outcome. Thanks to their expert guidance and support, my case was resolved quickly and with minimal stress. I'm incredibly grateful for their help and would not hesitate to use their services again in the future.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We understand how stressful and overwhelming fare evasion cases can be, which is why we approach every matter with care, skill, and determination to secure the best possible outcome. It means a great deal to know that our guidance and support helped make the process clearer and less stressful for you. At Makwana Solicitors, we’re committed to making a positive difference in people’s lives, and we’re truly grateful for your recommendation.
TFL Fare Evasion - Successful Outcome I cannot thank Shella Makwana and the team at Makwana Solicitors enough for their support, professionalism, and genuine care throughout one of the most stressful periods of my life. From the very first conversation, Shella provided not only expert legal advice, but also compassion, patience, and reassurance when I needed it most. Facing potential prosecution by TfL was incredibly daunting, with the risk of a criminal record and its devastating consequences on my career and future. Shella handled my case with exceptional diligence and understanding taking the time to listen to my circumstances, help me prepare a thorough mitigation package, and present my case in the best possible light. Thanks to Shella’s incredible support and strategy, my case was successfully closed with a warning and no prosecution. This outcome has allowed me to move forward with my life, career, and well-being intact—and I will always be grateful. If you’re looking for a solicitor who is sharp, thoughtful, and truly invested in your outcome, I wholeheartedly recommend Makwana Solicitors.
Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review. We’re really pleased to hear that Shella’s support helped you through such a difficult time. We understand how distressing it can be to face a potential prosecution for fare evasion, especially when your career and future are at stake. It means a great deal to know that our guidance and careful handling of your case brought you both reassurance and a successful outcome. We’re so glad you can now move forward with confidence, and we truly appreciate you placing your trust in Makwana Solicitors.
Makwana solicitors have been an amazing help during my time of need. What they’ve done for me in the past few months is nothing short of a miracle. I’d like to give a special thanks to Athisaya for handling my case with upmost patience and responsibility. I’m truly grateful for their help and support.
Thank you so much
Easy to park easy to communicate easy on the mind ...excellent lateral thinking ...no prior judgement ....excellent listening skills ....heart with the client ....you feel Makwanas have "skin in the game" ......they give you time to listen to you and are not looking at the clock to ruin you ...go the extra mile to soothe your nerves ....they tell you as it is ...even if you don't want to hear it ....they know the criminal system has its flaws and warn you of the obstacles ahead ....they are realists at the end of the day so there is no guarantee of anything ever going your way but they will do their damnest to make sure it does....I certainly never want to have go back but will do if I ever have to ....
Thank you so much

Ran into issues with TfL during my second year of uni as I had been caught and admitted to using my mothers Freedom Pass for 90 journeys. I recieved a court date and conviction looked definite but after building a case and looking into mitigating circumstances, Shella managed to negotiate an out of court settlement / warning !

Firstly, I am not one to leave negative reviews because I just don’t think it’s worth the time of day and I usually like to make excuses for people/companies/services. In this instance I am left very upset by this company and feel like they are a scam and people should stay away and not be deceived by all the positive reviews which are less in numbers and probably all family or friends. I had a situation with my employer and unintentional misuse of a D badge for someone I care for during working hours and needed advice desperately ahead of a code of conduct meeting held by my employer. Initially I had a 15 minute consultation with Shela from Makwana Solicitors and she was adamant I must get the right advice and the situation sounds risky and within 5 seconds I was sent the email to pay the £360 initial consultation sign up. On the initial consultation a member of the team who was lovely in nature fair enough but firstly called me 10 minutes late and secondly gave me the very very basic bare minimal advice which I was already given by family and friends and their main line of advice was that my situation requires an “employment solicitor” not a “criminal solicitor.” What’s contradictory is that in my 15 minute consultation had they told me that this sounds like you would be better off speaking to an employment lawyer instead I would not have wasted £360 on them just to hear the same thing. As a woman managing a household 2 kids and a job with several other physical/mental health issues I believe in this scenario I have definitely been scammed. Stay away guys stay far away!! On top, no follow up email nothing but very quick to email across details of an employment lawyer they would like to recommend. Ergh, shudder! Please dont expect them to keep it real with you in their 15 minute consultation. Any way possible to rinse people dry!! They could have easily kept it real and honest and said look you can sign up to us based on your own discretion but your situation sounds like you are much better off speaking to a trade union rep or a an employment solicitor.
Sima, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the service and the advice provided. Your concerns about the initial consultation, timing, and clarity of advice have been noted. We will ensure this is reviewed internally, including the points raised regarding your consultation and the follow-up communication.
I contacted the firm to have my documents signed and verified. They asked me to come in the same day, and everything was handled very smoothly. Highly recommended. Thank you very much. Harshana Suri

A huge thank you to Shella at Makwana Solicitors for all her incredible help on our case. It was extremely complex, but Shella went out of her way to support us every step of the way. She was so understanding, professional, and worked as quickly as possible to resolve everything. Her communication was clear and reassuring throughout, and we always felt in safe hands. We truly appreciate all her hard work and dedication. We would definitely recommend Shella and the team at Makwana Solicitors to our friends and family. Thank you so much!
