I had excellent help and representation from Patterson Law with a speeding matter for which I had to attend Court. Prior … More to my Court date Jonathan Guscott was extremely helpful in giving me advice and direction as to how to best prepare for my hearing and what things would be helpful to take with me.At the hearing itself I was represented by Daniella Adelowoye whom Patterson Law instructed on my behalf. Daniella was excellent giving me ample time to go through matters with her before my time in the Court and also made me feel comfortable about the process in Court and what to expect. She understood my case superbly, as did Jonathon, and I found her extremely knowledgeable and I felt very reassured having her with me at Court. I would have no hesitation recommending Jonathan, Daniella and Patterson Law in general to anyone needing similar representation to myself.

Great Response, Great Advice, Great Service and … Great Result – Thanks.
Having this been the first time I have had to consult with a solicitor in regards to a road traffic offence matter, I was pleasantly surprised at the relative ease and speed in dealing with a trained legal team who clearly knew what they were doing opposed to the previous solicitor’s we had been misadvised by. Hence I felt I received excellent service and expertise throughout the lead up and conclusion of my case and will definitely be recommending Patterson Law to friends and family should they need such a service in the future
I would like to thank you for all your help regarding the case, I am very appreciative of the help and will be recommending to you anyone in need. I thank you again and all the team.
