Patterson Law Motoring Solicitors Bewertungen 

My case has not been to court yet, still not yet recieved my summons. But my initial contact with Patterson Law was extremely positive and encouraging. I had a long, comforting chat with Hilary about my situation. I found her to be extremely knowledgeable on the concerning aspects of the law regarding my problem. She set my mind at ease. I find their fees amongst the cheapest around. I rung and asked for a chat to discuss my problem, and Hilary rung me back within a few hours. I had previously contacted a different firm, and after 3 separate contacts with them, each time assured I was on their call back list, they never got back to me. I had all but given up when I was directed to Patterson Law. Very glad I contacted them and will be using their services. I recommend you try them as well.

I was impressed with the recent appointment I had with Hilary. The service I received was faultless and Hilary was extremely helpful in with the matter I was very concerned about. She put me at ease and was very knowledgeable. Would certainly recommend.

Karen Parsons and her team provided an exceptional level of support and service. From the very beginning, Karen was incredibly kind, compassionate and understanding. She took the time to listen, showed genuine care and made me feel supported throughout the process.

Her ability to explain everything clearly, along with her exceptional knowledge of traffic law, court procedures and the rules surrounding road traffic offences, gave me confidence and reassurance during what was a stressful time.

Karen and her team were professional, approachable and truly dedicated to helping. Their kindness, patience and expertise are a real credit to their organisation.

Thank you, Karen and your team, for your outstanding support, guidance and compassion. I would highly recommend your services to anyone needing expert advice.

Best Wishes

Great advice, professional and non judgemental. Everything is clear and very knowledgeable.

Amazing service very honesty clear and professional, gave free advice , with quote allowing me to make an informed decision thank you

I got a very speedy response from Karen at Patterson's who set out the options I had and the implications of each from the potential speeding offence I had. It was exactly what I hoped for and helped me elect for a pragmatic and points free result! Thank you

It is an uncomfortable experience being in receipt of a NiP regarding a speeding offence.
A genuine error on my behalf. Searching the internet for advice options - on a solicitor review website- Patterson Law came in at No2 - yet crucially for me had more than twice the reviews of the No1 law firm . Offence details delivered on initial contact - I was promised a
call back - and it duly occurred within the hour. The very knowledgeable solicitor was professional , empathetic, succinct , informative and candid.
Sharing with me via email tables/data indicating levels of offence and the accompanying fines & points etc. Should my case go to court ( unlikely I hope ) then I’d have no hesitation in appointing Patterson Law as my solicitors. Thank you KP - I am most grateful for your excellent advice.

Very prompt response to my query and very knowledgeable and efficient advice given.
Plans for follow up actively encouraged in spite of no fee.
From my professional (medical consultant) perspective could not have been better

In January I paid Pattersons £2000 to represent me in a Due Care and Attention Case where I believed I was the victim of an Insurance Scam.

A friend, a retired Paralegal spent six months collecting and collating eveidence to prove this and it clearly did.
Pattersons looked at the Dashcam evidence, dismissed the other evidence out of hand and told (advised) me that I could not win and that my only hope was to change my plea to guilty and they would mitigate for the lowest tarriff.
I was unhappy with this but never having been to court in my life, I reluctantly gave in and followed their advice.

I had had multiple conversations with my Case Handler and on April the 8th, I was instructed to be at court for 9:30am to meet the Barrister they had procured for me.

At 9:50am I phoned Pattersons to ask where she was, apparently, Pattersons had failed to communicate correctly with her Chambers and she received no instruction.

I was forced into court alone and had to explain to an already irate Judge, who believedI had been charged with to low a charge and was displeased time had run out on possibly changing it.

Thanks to the remarkable kindness and understanding of the PROSECUTING Council, my position was made plain, I asked for an adjournment and it was denied.
I was told I could phone Pattersons, arrange for a new Barrister who could represent me by Video Link or rush one to the court.

Many frantic calls to and from my Case Handler, Including the assistance of Prosecuting Council speaking to Pattersons and eventually a replacement was found.
The Judge also required Pattersons to upload an explanation and registration with the courts information system.
The Court informed me this did not happen, despite Pattersons insisting they had done it and like the Original Barrister Instruction, the fault lies with the person I hired.

New Barrister and fifteen Minute consultation, we went back into Court at 2pm, 4 hours after the first debacle, we again requested an adjournment due to lack of time to consult, this was again refused and we were told to return at 4:30pm where we would have had “Plenty of time” to consult.

This had been the single most stressful time in my life and as an Angina sufferer, I and my family were quite concerned about it, however, the final outcome was a fine and 6pts, I kept my Licence, more because of the understanding of the Prosecuting Council than anything Pattersons achieved.

Three Barristers informed me that not only had I paid more than the going rate in their opinion, especially for the level of service I received, but even the Judge commented the same at the end.

I approached Pattersons and asked for a detailed explanation, told them all that had happened and whilst the Case Handler was of course apologetic and promised an answer from a colleague within four weeks, I was as you can appreciate, unhappy.

In week 7 of the promised four weeks, a different employee of Pattersons e-mailed and basically denied any responsibility, move ALL of the blame onto the non attending Barrister and stated that if I wanted any recourse, as far as Pattersons were concerned, they were blameless BUT out of the goodness of their hearts, whilst NOT admitting any liability, they would give me a “Good Will” payment of £150, I believe that equates to 7.5% of the fee I paid.
Pattersons even had the barefaced cheek to include instructions of how I could take my grievance to the Ombudsman, NOT of course about them, but about the supposed Firm THEY insist they Instructed.
I at no point spoke to, e-mailed or contacted the non attending Barrister, I paid Pattersons for legal services THEY were my representatives, not some Barrister that even now, I have no knowledge of or if they even exist.

When I submitted the complaint to Pattersons, I had no expectation of satisfaction and they did of course live down to my expectation.

I will not give this up, but of course, the Legal Profession is as Pattersons display, definitely Legal, clearly though, not professional.

I would advise ANYONE to think very carefully about using them in the future.

I take issue with the notion that
"and while we acted quickly to secure alternative representation so you were not left without support,"
1.) I had to do all the chasing, plus the kindly intervention of OPPOSING Concil on my behalf.
2) in your e-mail to me today you contend
"I note your view that this is a matter for Patterson Law. However, barristers are independent professionals and are responsible for the services they provide. The non-attendance arose from an administrative failing within chambers"
First, I have no evidence from you this is true, you will appreciate that to me, your word is worth almost nothing.
3) One phone call the day before Court would have prevented this
£2000 and you couldn't manage it.

Rachel was great - very generous with her time in providing initial advice. Ultimately, I was able to resolve the issue without a formal process thanks to Rachel’s advice. Had it been necessary to go to court, I would have been very happy to instruct Pattersons. Highly recommended.

Very helpful and offered free advise straight to the point.
I will definitely be recommending Patterson Law to others.

I cannot thank Karen enough for the understanding and patience she showed me through a really worrying time. AND thanks to her the matter was dealt with efficiently and we got the best result.

From my first contact at 7.30am, the response from Rachel couldn't have been any quicker, within 5 minutes of the start of her working day.
I needed advice in relation to a Notice of Intended Prosecution for an alleged motoring offence. Once I got the initial response from Rachel, I emailed correspondence in relation to my case, which she went through it diligently, and responded with a full and honest appraisal of the situation, then forwarded in detail all the options I had available to me, pointing out both the positive and negative aspects of whatever advice I may choose to follow
Rachel's attention to detail, and prompt response to my request was very impressive, and thanks to her advice helped me to come to a swift decision on how I should move forward.

Very impressive, and all wrapped up in six hours, after spending a week trying to consider what my options were. Nothing too much trouble and all free of charge.

It certainly blows that old Yorkshire saying out of the water :
If tha ever does owt for nowt - allus do it for thissen! 😂

I had an issue regarding a speeding fine complicated by being the driver of my sons car whilst he was away abroad and that he personally needed to respond to the notice. I contacted Patterson Law for help and was told that someone would ring me back. Now, it is my experience, both on line and on the phone, that help with a problem from most companies/agencies is usually not responded to or is followed by the need to pay for a service.
Firstly, Pattersons rang back within 10 minutes, Rachel Saunders was my contact and she clearly and calmly clarified the situation and the solution to the problem which resulted in my ending up with a driver awareness course rather than either myself or my son receiving a fine and points on our license.
This was outstanding and was followed up with an email confirming the details discussed.
A fantastic service and wholeheartedly recommended.

I needed some initial advice to see if it was worth contesting a 12 point disqualification ban. I received immediate, informative and comprehensible advice that allowed me to make an informed decision to use their services. I would say it was exceptional service.

I applied on line for some free advice , they were very quick in responding to my e mail and phoned me same day. I missed the call , called them back and within the hour they had wrong me back. So very prompt.
The lady who talked to me was clear and professional and brought top my attention several things that i had not known. Glad i talked to her.

I would like to firstly say that Pattersons Law Are A Very experienced Law Firm who strive on Perfection to get the Customers the Justice they need if they have had there identity stolen & they are using your name in vain by using you as a Scape Gout , Patterson Law Will Support You In this to the very end ,Very helpful Staff ,Very professional in there approach,& The Solicitor is second to none top class ,so don't go anywhere else,go straight to the Ones That care & are willing to go that extra mile for you .

I got advice regarding motoring offences over the phone, hopefully good advice. Rachel & Danny know their stuff, very good. If I had decided to take it to court, they would've been batting for me.

I received notification of prosecution for driving at 37mph in a 30mph zone. As I have 10 points a potential further 3 points would result in a driving ban.
I contacted Patterson Law for advice and was given clear guidance on the issues affecting my predicament and Karen was extremely helpful in advising on how I should proceed.

I spoke to 4 different law firms today to get legal advice as regards a particular issue, Patterson Law being the last. Although the concluding feedbacks were the same , Rachel Saunders from Patterson Law was the only one who very clearly and convincingly explained the options and reasons behind same to me (she even followed up the phone conversation with a brilliant explanatory email which I can refer to). If she was the first person i spoke to, there wouldn’t have been a need to speak to the other law firms. I ended the phone call to her very clear headed and happy . I will recommend her time and time again. Thank you very much Rachel Saunders. God bless
