Motoring Defence Solicitors Reviews 

I cannot recommend this firm highly enough. I was facing a drink driving charge and, from the very first phone call, the whole process was handled smoothly and professionally.

Neil guided me through every stage — he kept me informed at all times, explained everything in plain English, and was always available when I had questions. Having someone that responsive and reassuring made a genuinely stressful situation so much easier to deal with.

Mr Saynor represented me at trial and was outstanding. His preparation and attention to detail were second to none, and thanks to the team’s thorough work scrutinising the prosecution’s case, my charge was dropped due to lack of evidence.

The result speaks for itself, but it was the professionalism, communication, and care throughout that really set this firm apart. If you find yourself needing motoring law specialists, look no further. Worth every penny — thank you Neil and Mr Saynor!

Neil was an absolute god send! Bless his heart we called at 7pm on a Tuesday evening and he gave us more confidence in 20 minutes talking with him! Thank you so much I wish we found you sooner! Thank you I recommend this firm 100%

About 9 months ago, I was pulled over for “going too fast” and ended up being roadside tested for drugs and alcohol. Everything came back negative except for cannabis. I was taken to the station for a blood test — I was confident the cannabis result was a false positive, as I was not under the influence while driving.

What I didn’t realise at the time was that cannabis can stay in your system for up to 28 days, and the legal threshold is so low that a positive result can be triggered long after any actual impairment. After some research, I came across Motoring Defence Solicitors, and based on their strong reviews, I decided to instruct them.

Their fixed fee from the start of the case to trial was £9,000 + VAT — more than I expected, but manageable with monthly payments, especially since I was told trial would be about six months away. Over time, the CPS failed to provide critical evidence (SFR2) which led to two additional hearings, costing me an extra £1,000 + VAT. Given the circumstances, this seemed fair, particularly as the case looked increasingly in my favour.

In total, I spent £10.8k + £1.2k VAT — but in exchange, I kept my driving licence, avoided a conviction, and came out the other side with my name cleared. That’s a small price to pay when your job and licence are on the line.

Neil initially took on my case and then passed it over to Lucy, who was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She kept me informed, explained every step and potential outcome clearly, and helped me feel reassured throughout — 10/10 for her professionalism and knowledge.

My solicitor for nearly all hearings was Richard, who I also give a 10/10. He was sharp, proactive, and knew exactly how to handle the case. The only minor downside was one hearing where someone else stepped in — I personally preferred Richard’s approach, but it didn’t negatively affect the outcome.

Richard and Lucy worked together consistently to chase the missing SFR2 report. When the trial date finally arrived, the CPS still hadn’t provided it — nor had they named a witness for the blood sample. As a result, the prosecution offered no evidence, the judge ruled it a no case to answer, and I was acquitted within 30 minutes.

After 9 months of stress, I walked away with no conviction, no ban, and a clean licence. I’m now a very happy customer and relieved driver.

My advice to anyone in a similar situation:
Stay calm. Say “no comment.” Take the test. And fight it in court — with the right legal team behind you.

P.S. I wish to remain anonymous, but feel free to discuss my case with Neil — as long as my name is kept private. I suspect there are hundreds of drivers in the same situation, especially considering I was the fourth person being blood tested at the station that night. They are catching many sober, innocent drivers this way — and people need to know.

Gillian has offered her advice free of charge, and been so helpful.
She has reassured me in a situation I never encountered in my life that went positive.
She did it without any other interest to help and I appreciate it so much! It meant the world when I needed this.
Thank you Gillian!

What made my experience great was I had a dedicated contact person. I did not have to go through my case every time I had queries. Messages responded to in a fast helpful way which was very beneficial going through this stressful process.

I can't thank all involved enough for how they helped me in an extremely difficult situation. Neil's team are sensational. The way they dealt with this from start to finish was amazing. I wish to thank them so much but I can't actually find the works. I would recommend them to everybody. Thanks ever so much again, Neil, John and their team. Yours truly with the greatest of thanks, Terry Tedora

I had a wonderful experience. The team are efficient, very clear with information and punctual.

I would recommend to anyone

MotoringDefenceSolutions assisted me in multiple offences I was unfortunately charged with and managed to avoid me receiving an immediate custodial sentence.

I was stupidly convicted for Dangerous Driving and Failing to stop for a police constable and they assisted me through-out the process to avoid me spending time in prison.

I had two hearings at court, both with with gentleman named John who were both great in helping me.

The best part fortunately my car insurance managed to fund the service through my Legal Cover which saved me an exceptional amount.

I would recommend them for any driving related conviction.

From first point of contact till the very end, both Neil and Richard were amazing, I was charged with ‘drug driving’ after crashing my car a sample of blood was taken and found to have a substance linked with a class a drug. This however was a result of my medication and also what was administered at the scene.
Richard guided me through the process at every step with Neil keeping me calm and completely reassured.
Richard knows his stuff and pulled apart the CPS with all their failings and on our 3rd court date my case was dismissed completely.
I couldn’t of asked for a better team!

The service I received was absolutely more than worth it. I was caught speeding and could have been banned from driving but after working with this team I am now in a position where I have kept my license.

I would highly recommend using these solicitors.
