Amazing

I cannot recommend Shella and Eryk highly enough! From start to finish, they were absolutely wonderful - so supportive, communicative, and genuinely caring throughout my entire case.

What impressed me most was how they kept me updated every step of the way. They have this amazing ability to reassure you and keep you calm while they work their legal magic behind the scenes. I always felt completely supported and never once worried about being left in the dark.

Their expertise is truly exceptional, and the outcome they achieved for me exceeded all my expectations. I'm incredibly grateful for their hard work and dedication - they genuinely care about their clients and it shows in everything they do.

If you're looking for solicitors who combine brilliant legal expertise with genuine warmth and support, look no further. Shell and Eryk are simply the best! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fare evasion case in a regulated profession

I am 100% satisfied with the efforts and expertise provided by Shella and her team on my fare evasion case with Transport for London. By background, I am a legal professional so my career was on the line if prosecuted as my profession is regulated. Shella was very accommodating, helpful, understanding and had great empathy as well as communication skills in terms of guiding me through next steps, strategy and approach for the matter. Overall, I would highly recommend Makwana Solicitors for fare evasion cases, especially if you are in a regulated profession.

Amazing, Professional Service

I reached out to Makwana solicitors after being notified by a local council that they intended to prosecute me for misuse of a blue badge after a moments thoughtlessness. Shella contacted me back straight away and they formulated an excellent strategy that ultimately resulted in a warning from the council without the need for an interview under caution which was an amazing result as even an interview let alone a conviction would have had severe personal and professional repercussions.

I was kept informed all the way through of the progress of my case and their advice was straightforward and they were very proactive.

I simply cannot recommend them highly enough.

I have been flagged in a random situation of fare vending where I lost my breath at the decision likely to be taken by tfl of prosecuting me. I much more honored by Makwana solicitors in particular (Eryk) who addressed my situation calmly and precisely. All I had to do was work with them alternatively as they assured me that they are going to provide a good representation for me to Tfl. It was a very long time of patience and fear but luckily after a hard breath of trust in Makwana solicitors my case was dropped off with a formal warning. I highly recommend them for any criminal convictions to get rid of

Fare Evasion Case

I was caught using a disabled Freedom Pass by TfL and received a verification letter and a Single Justice Procedure Notice to appear in court. As someone working in financial services, I was extremely stressed because a guilty plea would mean a criminal record and could jeopardize my career.

With less than two weeks to my court date, I contacted Makwana Solicitors with little hope. However, once I shared evidence of mitigating circumstances, they quickly prepared a letter of representation and emailed it to TfL on Tuesday, just a week before my hearing. By Thursday (in just 48 hours!), TfL responded and agreed to an out-of-court settlement with a warning instead.

I’m incredibly grateful to Makwana Solicitors for their swift action and successful outcome. I highly recommend them to anyone facing a fare evasion charge.

We are incredibly grateful to Shella @Makwana Solicitors for her outstanding support and expertise in handling our daughter's TfL fare evasion case. From the very beginning, they were responsive, reassuring, and highly knowledgeable about the process.

Thanks to their guidance and thorough representation, we were able to resolve the matter with only a warning and avoid a court hearing altogether. This outcome has brought immense relief to our family and given our daughter a chance to move forward without a criminal record.

Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made all the difference. We highly recommend to anyone facing a similar situation.

TFL Fare Evasion - Successful Outcome

I cannot thank Shella Makwana and the team at Makwana Solicitors enough for their support, professionalism, and genuine care throughout one of the most stressful periods of my life. From the very first conversation, Shella provided not only expert legal advice, but also compassion, patience, and reassurance when I needed it most.

Facing potential prosecution by TfL was incredibly daunting, with the risk of a criminal record and its devastating consequences on my career and future. Shella handled my case with exceptional diligence and understanding taking the time to listen to my circumstances, help me prepare a thorough mitigation package, and present my case in the best possible light.

Thanks to Shella’s incredible support and strategy, my case was successfully closed with a warning and no prosecution. This outcome has allowed me to move forward with my life, career, and well-being intact—and I will always be grateful.

If you’re looking for a solicitor who is sharp, thoughtful, and truly invested in your outcome, I wholeheartedly recommend Makwana Solicitors.
