I would like to thank Karen recently for putting my mind a little more at rest with regards to a second minor speeding offence … More I have yet to face. On top of a disqualification that I already have, I was dreading another court case and its such a relief that I don't have to go to court again. (Though I've yet to hear back)This phone service is invaluable as there is nothing available to help people like us. Not everyone has money to burn, nor are other solicitors interested in providing advice without huge charges.So very grateful.

Patterson law were very honest and upfront about the fees involved and the service I have received from them has been invaluable. Thanks again. 5* advise & service
