National Motoring Lawyers Opiniões 

When you speak to them you are in a vulnerable situation, they promise you you have a really strong case, I don't blame them you are speaking to a salesman not a person with your best interests at heart.

Once your first payment is made you won't hear from them again until asking for more money. I would constantly ask for updates and be told we'll get back to you after you need to pay x amount.

Like most people here have said you have to brief the solicitor when you speak to them on the day of court as they are not prepared.

After 3 court appearances and a cctv "expert", I had paid everything off and it cost me thousands.

The judge was harsh on me pleading guilty on the last day in court, I got over the maximum of ban, fine and no DD course because I had tried to find a loophole that was never there.

I found a good local lawyer to reduce my sentence as the whole experience was the worst part of my life.

I can't express how much I regret going with these guys. Salesmen in a business and the business is getting your money.

Save your money and get a nice e-bike, you're going to need it.

(NML please don't respond with the same generic responses everyone else, make it personal. Make me feel like you care for once)

NML were professional and handled my queries with ease. Leading to a positive result. Very grateful

Great services with great outcomes!
Thank you for all your support NML

They helped and knew what they were doing from the beginning. Good explanations throughout. Always kept upto date. Affordable price plans and an understanding, polite, considerate customer service on the phone. Being self employed this helped massively. I'm still on the road driving with their help.

Written on behalf of my partner:
"I highly recommend David Houldcroft representing Laywer who has a vast amount of experience and expertise dealing with motoring offences! He worked hard on my case and prevented me from recieving a disqualification; which am so grateful for. David was excellent at representing me, providing sound advise on my case and leaving no stone unturned given clear mistakes and unjust treatment I suffered from the police and CPS.
David successfully managed to get the CPS to drop the urine drink driving which the police had obtained incorrectly. Instead I pleaded guilty to careless driving with 4 points and a fine, but thanks to David it means I do no lose my licence"

The communication was great. Thank you Liberty, and all the team. My barrister Jay Lemosa was in my opinion excellent 5 star. The case was dismissed. I thank you all for your assistance through a very difficult time.
many thanks

I recently sought the services of National Motoring Lawyers for a legal matter, and I regret to say that the entire experience was an absolute nightmare. I would strongly caution anyone against using their services. Throughout the entire process, I encountered a multitude of issues that left me not only frustrated but also deeply dissatisfied.
To begin with, I explicitly communicated to Ms. Laura Heywood via email and phone conversation on 23/04/2023 that I was paying £165 for the CCTV footage, which was crucial in determining the viability of my case. However, despite my clear instructions, I found myself continuously chasing National Motoring Lawyers for the footage. They claimed to have written to the police and were awaiting a response, but as the days drew closer to my hearing on 27/06/2023, I had received no such footage. Consequently, I made the difficult decision to represent myself and plead guilty. Astonishingly, the lawyers then informed me that I had an outstanding balance of £495, as if their sole focus was extracting more money from me. To add insult to injury, today I received a letter from a debt recovery company, Debtco One Ltd acting on behalf of National Motoring Lawyers demanding payment of £810.75 within five days.
To put it succinctly, National Motoring Lawyers failed to provide the CCTV footage that I had paid £165 for. I felt deceived from the very beginning, and I was forced to act swiftly and plead guilty on my own accord. It became apparent that their primary concern was to keep me subscribed to their services, leading to a costly trial where the outcome would likely still be a guilty plea. Their actions reeked of greed and a complete disregard for their clients' financial well-being.
I am now taking the necessary steps to report National Motoring Lawyers to the Legal Ombudsman, as well as to all available platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and search engines. It is essential for others to be aware of my horrendous experience with this firm.
In conclusion, my encounter with National Motoring Lawyers can only be described as a complete nightmare. I strongly urge anyone considering their services to think twice. Spare yourself the headache and seek out a solicitor who genuinely cares about their clients, while also demonstrating competence and professionalism. It is perplexing to me how they have managed to accumulate positive reviews, as I have spoken with another former client who shared a similar unfortunate experience. Trust me when I say that you will thank yourself later if you choose to avoid National Motoring Lawyers altogether.

From the get go NML has been superb.
I've already been telling friends and family how great they have been.

Was so worried about keep paying out money just seemed endless.but so glad I did I got a fantastic solicitor David houldroft and his wife . really put my mind at rest about nml they do a lot of work on your case I suppose because you don't get any letters from them it's a worry but they always got back to me on the phone I won my trial thanks to David he was absolutely on top of everything a great solicitor honestly I was so lucky to get him for my trial .yes it's a lot of money but put your trust in them you want be disappointed thankyou David so much regards Tracey x

If you can get David Houldcroft to represent you in court through NML, you should. I found him to be professional, experienced, compassionate and willing to do what was necessary to obtain the best outcome for me and my circumstances. If you’re worried about attending court for the first time, I can promise you that David Houldcroft, for one, will meet with you in court and help you understand the legal ramifications and work out the best outcome to suit your needs. Not cheap, but certainly worth it. Thanks.

I highly recommend NML. I anticipated losing my licence due to a driving offence and NML with their skills and expertise managed to salvage my licence which would have been extremely detrimental to me due to the fact I need to do a lot of driving for my job.

NML know what they are doing. They were very clear about possible defence arguments, next steps in building a case, clear about prosecution arguments. Although it feels like money is often being asked for, the outcome was perfect (case dismissed 2 days before trial). My case was unusual in that it has gone on for almost 2 years. I can’t express the relief now that it is over and with a positive outcome.

Instructed this firm and initially spoke to a qualified solicitor. We then had invoice after invoice with zero contact. The solicitor was changed without request, and more money was charged. Didn't know which plea to make or even what to expect on the day. The admin center were woeful, they couldn't be bothered to send basic prepack information about the day of the trial despite many calls and emails. The evening before the hearing after several weeks of chasing, there was a brief call with options. Then on the date of the hearing, the solicitor didn't know what was going on, and mitigation entered just wasn't of a standard you would expect from a solicitor. The length of the ban and fine was exactly the same as being unrepresented. The days following the hearing, additional invoices demanding more unknown payments within 7 days were made. Importantly the statement sent, with what was paid so far, fraudulently did not include a payments already sent, which was more than the "outstanding" balance. They also say if you don't enter a not guilty plea, you need to pay more. However they won't give any advice until the day of the hearing so you know how to plea, leaving you open to more invoices that aren't confirmed at the outset. I doubt they even requested evidence from the police that they say they will.

The reviews of this firm, also called drink driving solicitors, are fake. I ignored the bad reviews because there were so many good ones. Don't make the same mistake. There are genuine firms to use, this isn't one of them.

Pleaded guilty.

May come across strange as I am writing a review on a guilty plea for a organisation that works on defending a not guilty plea.

I failed to supply breath at station, I had many of factors working in my favour to defend the case and get it thrown out which Gary highlighted to me but I simply couldn’t afford to move forward.

Had jay lamosa turn up in court. I was looking at a 2 year ban and a heavy fine.

He took notes and worked with the prosecution and came back to me saying they are lowering the ban and fine.

In the court jay was knowledgeable in this area highlighting to the bench the law on this topic which the bench did not know the answers but jay did.

He is a man that specialises in this are along with the firm. If I could have tried to defend it I would have but couldn’t afford it.

So glad I payed for this firm at a price where I’ll be back on the road in 9months, which failing to provide breath is quite difficult to get.

Happy with service of firm, got the result I was wanting.
12 month ban with course to take off 13 weeks
£600 fine which I pay 50 month to court.

In summary; don’t just turn up to court and accept what they will throw at you, get the right people involved and even if times are difficult the firm will assist in all ways possible.

Thanks all

I was facing a driving ban and possible Community Order but between David Houldcroft, Nicki and Sandra Cooper I ended up with points and a fine which meant keeping the use of my licence and car for work. This team are magic and I am so happy I went to NML for assistance with this matter. Given the circumstances this was by far the most positive possible outcome and I am so grateful to them. For those doubters this is a very real review from a very real person.

They are best. Willam explained very thing in a nice way. I just went to court for just one hearing. They solved my case without going to court. I really recommend them.
They are very helpful. I am thankful to them to get my license back.

I cannot thank Mr Philip Lucas and indeed, the whole team at NML enough, for assisting me with my case.

They were able to have the charges against me dismissed.

Losing my licence would have been a significant problem for me as I need to be able to drive to do my job and indeed, my whole career could have been at stake.

Would highly recommend.

Five stars service by NML team, from day 1 my experience was great, special thanks to Sandra Cooper who was very supportive throughout the process, she’s got sound knowledge of the legal system, many thanks to Jay who represented me in the court for 3 hearings, I would recommend NML.

NML explained the process and cost of the process and followed through the process. The payment process was easy and receipts/invoices sent. The informed of you of the next step in the process and the costs involved. Process was very transparent.

Superb! Very friendly, down to earth, yet highly knowledgeable and experienced staff. Secured a great result for me, I am forever grateful.
