TFL Fare Evasion

I approached Makwana Solicitors after an incident regarding fair evasion. From my own research I believed that I had little hope without some kind of representation, and it turns out I made the right choice. The team was amazing and helpful, and I was able to avoid any prosecution. Can't recommend them enough!

I Would 100% recommend using Makwana Solictors, as they gave me the peace of mind once they knew about what had happened. I was in direct contact with Shella herself. The team and her helped me fight my case and the outcome was better than expected. Good thing about them is you can contact them and they get back to you ASAP!

Would 100% recommend using Makwana solicitors as they give you that peace of mind where you have to just be honest and let them deal with the rest. Was in direct contact with Shella herself and anytime I had any questions they are quick to reply.
You get what you give. Charges are little high but you get what you pay for.

Thank you for your knowledge and support.

I am incredibly grateful for Shella, Shahzia and the team of Makwana Solicitors to represent my case involving a misuse of a Freedom Pass with TfL. I cannot speak highly enough of their exceptional service. From start to finish, their professionalism was outstanding, demonstrating a deep commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for my case.
Makwana Solicitors exhibited meticulous preparation, advising me on gathering evidence, helping me reviewing details and crafting a robust defense strategy. Their thorough approach allowed us to present a compelling case with clarity and precision. Their expertise in navigating the legal complexities of the TfL matter was evident.
My case was resolved successfully and quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking top-tier legal representation. Their professionalism, thoroughness, and client-focused approach truly set them apart.

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

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.

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.
