Highly recommended

I was accused of drink driving and was facing a minimum two-year driving ban—possibly worse. I spoke to several solicitors, all of whom said the same thing: I had no real chance of avoiding a lengthy ban.

Then I contacted NML, and from the very first conversation, they put me at ease. They told me there was a lot they could do. I didn’t expect a miracle, but I figured I’d rather fight and lose than not try at all.

After over six months of going back and forth to court, NML relentlessly pressured the police and CPS. In the end, the charges were dropped and replaced with a much lesser offence. That meant I avoided a driving ban entirely. I honestly couldn’t believe it.

These guys are incredible. They’re not cheap, but they are absolutely worth every penny.

Please—don’t drink and drive. But if you’ve made a mistake, get the right people behind you. NML changed everything for me.

Poor service. Promising a lot, not doing too much after you pay them

Useless company, WASTE OF MONEY (A LOT). Not adhere to court timings, paid for them thousands of pounds including widmark report which was not done and they not done it and not provided to the court. Promising much but not give you any value. Cost me £1500 at the beginning for "preparation and representation " when on 1st hearing you can go yourself and just said "not guilty". Then please look for proper solicitors not this time and money wasters...

Absolute rubbish, first hearing the solicitor was in the wrong magistrates court 300 miles away, had to return to court the next day and he was there via video link which was poor quality. The judge got cross and referred it to another court so cost me a lot more money and I still lost my licence and got fined heavily!

Brilliant solicitor

I would like to recommend National Motoring Lawyers and in particular David Houldcroft and Laura Heywood. They are the specialist in their field and David is well worth a ‘Gold Star’ solicitor fee.
Thank you all for your successful efforts.

in Charge

My car had broke down and was subsequently arrested on suspicion of drink driving, I hadn't been just decided to drink after breaking down as had a few beers in the car. They tried back calculation and couldn't prove it so then came after me with the charge of being under the influence in charge.
That didn't stick either as the car was going nowhere and with the help of NML had my case thrown out of court at the first hearing. Pays to pay for specialists in their field and more so for the proactiveness of my solicitor dealing with the case. I cant thank them enough for there help. Well worth the cost!

5* Strongly recommended

I would strongly recommend National Motoring Lawyers if you are being convicted of a driving ban. 1 long lengthy proccess but NML always provided the best possible service throughout. NML worked hard to ensure my best interests were at heart right throughout. I would like to thank everyone at NML for everything you all done for myself after many ups/downs NML won my case and chargers for failing to provide which could have left me with a 2 year driving ban with no previous convictions proving my innocence after all the stress/tears chargers were dropped therefore my motoring case was dismissed. Amanda my case worker, the accounts team, Gary the principle of NML, Sandra my lawyer dealing with my case, and again most importantly Mr David Houldcroft my representing solicitor who attended every court hearing, helped myself to prove my innocence and had gave his full support through out and of course achieving the outcome of Not guilty & Nicki his lovely wife whom helped me in uncertain/difficult times throughout the case you are a diamond your support and comfort will be forever grateful so again thank you. And to everyone else that helped myself along side you have all given more than was expected. If you need a solicitor I could not stress this enough but please do contact National Motoring Lawyers as i would choose them over and over without any hesitation! excellent service all round. Extremely grateful to have chosen these to represent my case. Above and beyond service. 5*

Excellant

I recommend using National Motoring Lawyers, they are impeccable and provide the highest standards. From the case working team to the finance accounting team. They were quick to respond to any questions and issues that I had. I was very worried from the beginning of the Court hearing date, but they helped me through the process and provided the perfect support.
I used the barrister Mr Philip Lucas and he was just amazing in court. I can't praise him enough, I was very stressed during my trial. But he calmed me down and ensured everything was OK. My case was dismissed and it was because of Mr Philip Lucas brilliance. How he operated in the court room was masterful.
