On receiving notification of a potential totting up ban, I contacted several companies but found the initial conversation with Patterson Law to be the most professional and reassuring. Whilst they did not make any promises that I would avoid a ban, they felt that I had a good case for it. It was made clear that proving exceptional hardship was not an easy thing to do.
I was then passed onto Jake who gave advice about what type of supporting evidence I would need. He reviewed this and made suggestions for what else I could do. My experience was positive and I would recommend this company.
The barrister assigned to me had received all the relevant paperwork and was well-briefed and the outcome for me was that I avoided a ban. The common attitude seems to be that avoiding a ban is 'easy' but it really isn't. I am relieved with my outcome but also dismayed I was stupid enough to get myself into that situation.

On the basis that one star is the minimum I can give, I suppose it is earned for the sheer brass neck of stating they have an 80% success rate. Other than that the company is dire. I received my fourth speed camera conviction in February 2025 and was allowed to drive for another full six months before my court summons. I rang Patterson Law for their free advice service and was told I had a good case. In exchange for £1640 (£1400 + vat), I was assured of a positive outcome. Bearing in mind I have been driving cars since 1983, and riding motorcycles since 1975, you could say I have a lot of experience before my first time in court. My wife of 46 years has never driven a car, or even taken a test, so she is totally reliant on me for mobile errands. I do the family shopping and take her several times a week to visit her 94 year old mother, who has severe mobility issues. I also do her shopping. I also take two of my grandchildren to school each day and pick them up also. Without this service my daughter, who is a teacher, either couldn't send her children to school or she would lose her job and her house. I have a 79 year old brother who doesn't drive either and has balance and mobility problems. I am his first point of call in an emergency.
I was assigned Connor O’Brien as my advisor at Patterson Law. He phoned once for a chat but offered no advice on how to present a strong case. I prepared statements for myself and my mother-in-law off my own back, and emailed them to Connor O'Brien, only to be told he was on holiday. From then until the date of the court hearing I heard nothing. At court I learned that I was represented by a complete stranger, who, inspite him being very professional, had received no paperwork or instructions for the case, not even the statements I had forwarded. He told me we had little chance as I had taken my copies of statements along but, he said, we needed many more to highlight how important my licence was, not only to me but my family too.
Suffice to say I was banned for six months and fined accordingly. Imagine my surprise a few days later I received an email from Connor O’Brien telling me how disappointed he was at the outcome but, should I wish to appeal, it will only cost me another £700. I replied that, considering how much I had already laid out, that the appeal should be included in that sum, as the amount of work that had been completed in my case was negligible. Hand on heart there is no way that I could recommend Patterson Law to any would be drivers in search of legal advice. Much better to defend yourself with robust honesty than rely on moneymaking charlatans.

I contacted the advice service regarding a driving offence and was given really excellent advice. My options were laid out clearly and objectively and it helped me make a decision on what was best for me. I would highly recommend this company - they are professional, helpful and very easy to communicate with.

Firstly many Companies claiming to be expert in Driving offences but trust me Patterson Law are.
Dominic initially provided me time firstly unusual & felt immediately that not guilty plea & maintain position, explained why & had trust in contents of conversation.
Matter was taken up by Jake Stroud.
Amazing guy although tailored expectations was incredibly detailed obtaining key details so Barrister can be clued up with as much as possible to defend the case.
Outcome was amazing NOT GUILTY.
Cannot thank Jake enough for providing time/obtaining details then really making sure Court was able to fully digest real issues being experienced & managed to side with Patterson Law argument.
Thank you Dominic/Jake/Priya we feel vindicated now. Without your support this would not be possible today at Bromley Magistrate court.
We will recommend your services always
Thanks for assisting me/Father who was able to bridge communication with you direct
Will never forget it.

My contact with Patterson Law over the past 2 years has helped me enormously in staying on the road amidst a wealth of new speeding limits on both motorways and dual carriageways in South east London. One such event had a strong influence on changing the Authorities views on applying a 40 mph limit on such a fast road. Feel confident that you have selected the most appropriate Law firm for your motoring needs when you select Patterson Law. I shall end with much praise for Karen Parsons who spends all the time needed to help poor old folk like me to understand the problems of driving today. Good Luck

I had a free consultation with Rachel Saunders and was given all the information that I required to make a decision on the way forward. This was then followed up by a personal call from Danny Blight to discuss the case.
I was very impressed with this personal service and I have decided not to progress my case with Patterson Law due to the constructive advice received.
Thank you Rachel and Danny

I needed advice on a being zapped by a Speed Camera at 40mph on a 40mph road that turned out to have been changed to a 30mph road without any signs.
I was given great free advice by Patterson Law and would recommend this service to anyone who has any doubt or needs more information over their motoring legal issue.
