First class motoring lawyer
Stephen and his team are definitely at the top of their game.
From the first time I rang Stephen he gave impartial advice, and was so easy to deal with, I felt I could trust him and he genuinely wanted the best for me.
On the day of the court hearing he was excellent, and made the whole thing so much easier, I was very happy with the outcome, the best of a bad situation.
This would not have been possible without Stephen
I would highly recommend his company
Thanks again

Would recommend Stephen Oldham…always 100%
Would recommend Stephen Oldham solicitors 100% totally professional service from start to finish, my son was very nervous and felt so embarrassed by his drink driving charge but Stephen made him feel at ease and helped him overcome his guilt. Stephen personally couldn’t be at court but his colleague Andrew Bennett represented my son and was amazing at making him feel at ease and represented him with a very professional manner not being stand offish to the judge but strongly putting forward my sons case and showing the court the best side of him that we all know.
It was his 2nd offence and as a high risk offender we expected the worse but Andrew managed to get our son the best sentence we could have expected, probation and unpaid work for 100 hours over 18 months, and the drink driving rehabilitation course which brought his ban from 3 yrs to 2 yrs 3 months.
Can’t thank you both enough!

Would recommend highly!
Stephen was quick to respond to my request for advice, and also very professional and understanding. The extremely helpful advice I received was very thorough and honest, and made the process I was going through, related to a speeding offence, much less stressful. I would highly recommend his services.

Invaluable Guidance......
Kind, understanding and generous with his time, Stephen provided me with valuable guidance over the 'phone when I was put in a very awkward situation by insurers incorrectly cancelling a policy without notice. Due to his help I was able to resolve the matter without it going to court, but having spoken to him I have no doubt that with his knowledge and experience he would have made a formidable advocate for me. I am very grateful to him.

Professional and excellent services
Stephen Oldham is a very professional and great solicitor , I chose to seek Stephens services when I had a driving offence against me. He was incredibly helpful and advised me on a lot of worries I had regarding the case which put my mind at rest.
I had a duty solicitor when first arrested for the offence but didn’t appreciate the professionalism has they didn’t seem to have any interest in the case.
After getting in touch with Stephen he was immediately helpful via email then as soon has he was free he rang me and discussed my case in great detail to get a full understanding. When defending me at court he did an incredible job and I got the minimum of punishments purely due to the fact of the preparation from Stephen Oldham solicitors ... I would highly recommend.

Stephen was a shining light.
Stephen was a shining light in a rather dark period for me. He was extremely professional and supportive. He gave me excellent advice and was very responsive and precise in his evaluations regarding my situation. If I could give him 6 stars rather than 5, I would.

Grade A driving solicitor
Stephen is a consummate professional who is easy to talk to and will ensure a good defence in your case. For my first time in court, he laid out all the details and made sure I was at ease in the whole process, with no question left unanswered. Through good communication and thorough preparation I believe we were able to put forward the best defence possible. Highly recommended.

Probably the best genuine Motoring Lawyer in the UK
I found Stephen from a search on Google, & having checked out the numerous positive reviews for him it became clear he was a specialist motoring lawyer.
My Stepson had been charged with Drink Driving, he is also a holder of a Personal Alcohol Licence as he is a manager in a nightclub so potentially the court could have been extra hard on him to set an example as he is responsible for people drinking alcohol on the premises he works at and as he should know better...
Stephen spent a significant amount of time discussing the case over the phone with myself which gave me the confidence to instruct him to represent my stepson. Then my Stepson had a long conversation for well over an hour discussing everything with Stephen plus he forwarded all the documentation from the Police so Stephen could then contact the CPS for all the additional information including the full charge documents and witness statements and so on.
In this instance, it was pretty clear there was no easy out for my stepson as all Police procedures were followed correctly and bottom line my stepson was guilty of drink driving with a breath reading of 57 so he was over 1.5 times the legal limit. Stephen advised us to try and mitigate the circumstances and manage the end result to minimise the penalty and fine etc.
We agreed and let him work his magic, On the court day Stephen had instructed Barry one of his specialist team to represent my stepson as Barry was fully versed in Personal Alcohol license law as well as Motoring Law. Barry drove 135 miles to be with us at court for 9am and immediately went through all the additional implications being a Personal Alcohol Licence holder might have to the case (Magistrates still have the power to also revoke or suspend a Personal Alcohol License at the same time as banning someone from driving).
Once the hearing started, Barry was asked by the clerk to the court for guidance as the clerk was unsure of the law but Barry took full control and steered both the Clerk and the Magistrates in a positive but legal direction.
The end result of all this and the excellent way Barry represented my stepson was a minimum ban of just 12 months with the offer for him to do a driver course so the ban will now only be 9 months plus the total fine including victim Surcharge and Court Costs was only £265 and the court also chose to take no action regarding my stepson's Personal Alcohol Licence so it was by far the absolutely best possible outcome we could have hoped for plus Stephen's total fees for himself and Barry were far more than reasonable and the best value I have ever had from any lawyer in the last 30 years.
TO SAY I RECOMMEND STEPHEN IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT - HE IS AS GOOD AS THEY GET IN MOTORING LAW AND WITHOUT THE CRAZY FEES OR PROMISES OF SOME
So if you want a truly great expert motoring lawyer phone Stephen and check him out for yourself, you will not be disappointed!!!
Excellent service
I have dyslexia and needed a solicitor to fill in the legal documentation for me and Stephen was patience and explain the whole process and kept me up to date throughout the case

Clear Concise and Professional
Clear Concise and Professional Advice from this expert in his field.
We found Stephen to be very approachable and explained in clear terms what was the situation and our options.
He managed expectations throughout - and then exceeded them.
I want to say I never want to have to use him again - but if ever I am ever in a pickle with a motoring matter - I would be straight back!

Stephen was excellent - he spent time with me on the phone at the beginning of the process, and gave me a clear indication of how he could help. He clearly communicated me throughout the legal process and the end result was exactly as I wanted. Would recommend him to friends & family.
