Patterson Law Motoring Solicitors Reviews 

Fantastic Free Advice in regard to a motoring matter. Put me at ease, would definitely recommend.

This had been the most selfless, empathetic, and thought-saving legal service I’ve ever had. I was lucky to get to Rachel, who who had the patience and empathy with my situation. She gave me free advice and how I’m going to handle the matter. I didn’t pay a dime. Once again, thank you.

I spoke to Karen on the phone today, she was very helpful and very informative and also very polite and pleasant.

Very helpful and good advice.

I have only had an initial consultation with the firm, but should i need to go further with their assistance I am reassured that I will be dealing with a competent and trustworthy firm of specialist motoring lawyers.

I contacted Patterson Law after receiving a couple of tickets in the same week. They called me back and followed up to make sure I had the info I needed.
Although I didn't need them in the end their advice was concise and useful. Should I need a solicitor in the future, I will definitely give them a call.

I don’t write reviews lightly, but what I went through with Patterson Law deserves to be shared. I spent a total of £2,820, and despite everything, I was still banned from driving for six months and ordered to pay 50% of the legal fees of the prosecution's barrister. All of this happened while I was left feeling voiceless and betrayed.

The person solicitor in charge of my case, Jessica Dolan, received all the information she needed. I gave her everything, details about the incident, my family, my job, and personal background. But in the end, a third-party barrister who knew little about me or my case was sent to represent me. He had three cases to attend to that day, and mine clearly wasn’t given the attention it deserved.

The police officer's story was full of inconsistencies. He first claimed I was driving at 85 mph, then apologised and corrected himself to 75 mph, only to revert again to 85 mph later. In his body-worn camera footage, he clearly stated that his car’s dash cam recorded everything, but when pressed to provide that footage, it turned out to be a complete lie. There was no dash cam recording, yet that critical detail was never properly challenged in court.

When I first appeared at the magistrates' court, I pleaded not guilty, on the condition that the police produce the video evidence they claimed to have. But when I got to the appeal, the narrative had conveniently changed. There was no video, no proof and yet I was still convicted.

Incredibly, even my car’s number plate was recorded wrongly in the officer’s statement although the correct plate appeared in his body-worn footage. I tried to signal this error in court, looking to my barrister to intervene.

One of the most humiliating and painful moments came when the judge questioned the barrister about my personal circumstances — my family, my children, the hardship I’d face with a driving ban. The barrister said there was no proof. I was seated right there. Why didn’t anyone ask me? I had the birth certificates with me. The judge assumed I was making up stories.

I have nothing but regret for ever contacting Patterson Law. Why didn’t I go to a local, physical solicitor I could meet and speak with face-to-face? Why did I trust an online firm that handed me over to someone who didn’t know me, didn’t care, and wasn’t prepared?

I was convicted for an offence I didn’t commit, with no video evidence, inconsistent police testimony, and a legal defence that barely scratched the surface of my case.

I would never recommend Patterson Law to anyone. Not for minor cases, and certainly not for anything serious. No matter how many positive reviews they have, my experience was terrible, and the emotional and financial toll it’s taken on me is something I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

I still don’t know how to explain this pain.

I was in quite a state when I received a letter from the police regarding an incident with another car and wasn't sure what to do. Having seen the excellent reviews for Patterson's I set up a call and Dominic talked me through the situation and I could feel my anxiety levels start to drop. Dominic then agreed to check my statement and now I have heard back from the police with the offer of doing a course and no points on my licence. So, my thanks to Dominic and Stephanie, who calmly walked me through options. I would have no hesitation in recommending Paterson's.

Karen was excellent and fantastic advice and sent me everything I needed to understand free of charge

Patterson, Karen and Rima have offered their advice free of charge, and been so helpful.
Rima from Patterson Law has been an angel for me, helping me chase a case that went positive. She did it without any other interest to help and I appreciate it so much! It meant the world when I needed this.
Thank you Rima and Patterson Law!

In April I contacted Patterson Law regarding the ongoing Single Justice procedure as prior I had experienced an injustice. I spoke to Dominic at Patterson Law who advised me on my Court appearance on 28th April 2025 and whom reduced the original fine to half the amount. However, despite this positive result I was still having problems obtaining written confirmation and/or correct instruction to make payment etc of the reduced amount. As a result I again contacted Dominic whom again provided free advice and I have since managed to pin down those responsible in the court system to make the necessary amendments and arrangements which I have since made full payment of the reduced fine amount putting the injustice experience behind me.
Thanks again Dominic for your valued help and assistance.

Calm considerate efficient and informative response given to initial question placed from outside magistrates court thank you

Having received a single justice procedure, I was filled with anxiety, stress and confusion as the evidence in the documentation did not marry with my alleged offence. I contacted Patterson Law for some free advice before making an uninformed decision that I didn't feel comfortable with. I was called back by Karen Parsons who once had all the information she needed went through every possible scenario with me from a legislative point of view which not only reduced my anxieties but enabled me to make a more informed decision. This was fast approaching my deadline and the end of the working day for Karen but assured me she will not leave the call until not only I was happy but she was also, which again put me further at ease. Id like to thank Karen and will update on the outcome in (part 2)

They are professionals. Advise me recently and I’m happy with their help. Highly recommended!

This isn't a gripe because of the advice given but a complaint on HOW it was given. I'm 65 years of age and I felt like a 2 year old after speaking to these people! I would not reccomend this firm to anybody!

It was a shock to my system to discover that I had been speeding when I thought I was obeying the speed limit.
I found highly rated reviews of Patterson's online.
Karen Parsons telephoned me, and was absolutely brilliant. She clearly set out the facts of the justice system, professionally explained the options open to me and the assistance the Firm can provide in each case.
Her approach was very structured, and she was able to set out the range of punishments (none of them good!) that are possible.
I was most impressed by this introductory conversation, and I looking forward to receiving Patterson's further support through this difficult time.

Great advice and attention to detail. Karen was great and explained in detail the specifics of my particular case. Thank you for your help.

After returning my Motability vehicle on 31st March 2025, I was surprised to receive a Notice of Intended Prosecution from Wiltshire Police relating to a speeding offence that occurred after I no longer had the car. Concerned and unsure of how to proceed, I contacted Patterson Law Motoring Solicitors for advice.

I was impressed by how quickly they responded – Karen Parsons (legal advisor), returned my call the next morning and provided clear, professional, and reassuring guidance on how to handle the situation. Their expertise and friendly approach gave me real peace of mind.

I’m very happy with the service I received and would definitely recommend Patterson Law to anyone needing legal advice for motoring issues. Prompt, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.

I rang first for advise. I got given free advice and got told from what I have informed them with I would have a good case and they told me the reasons why. This was first from Hannah. I told her my financial situation and she told me it is possible to pay in two half's. Once my payment had been paid I was given a solicitor who would be dealing with my case from the beginning all the way through. Ashliegh was brilliant. She was quick at responding, and was always happy to talk in any type of method. I felt like she always had time for me, relaxed me with my nerves and gave me an honest opnion throughout the whole case. I stayed not guilty and my case got dropped less than 12 hours before my court date. Ashliegh helped to get some of my money back.
If its anything to do with a road traffic matter this team is the people you need to help whether its just free advice at the beginning or you want a best outcome from your situation.
Thank you so much for the time and advice you gave me. I hope I won't need to use the service again but if I do I will more than definitely be using your service.

I needed a simple question answered in relation to a speeding offence.
I Googled and found a firm who apparently offer free advice and get to you within 24 hours, sounds to good to be true really.
But Rachel did contact me within 24 hours, answered my question and followed it up with an email with information relating to my situation.
very, very impressed and thankful to Patterson Law Motoring Solicitors, thank you very much
