Review Time
I used nml for a very complex case. I have had 4 previous drink drive convictions making me vulnerable to the most severe bans possible. I was at home and was asked to provide a breath sample. I could have lost my license for 4-5 years, for this refusal for failure to provide whilst driving. David Houldcroft was brilliant with me, even though I went on. He managed to get a 3 but most likely 4-5 year ban down to 6 months. I am so grateful. He manged to get them to accept failure to provide in charge. I am looking forward to driving an Abarth 695 soon 🤞

Case Ref No: 10666In some respects my experience with this company has already been exposed by other clients on many occasions and so I dont feel that I need to do anything other than highlight the same. For example, the 11th hour email the day before the hearing stating that no advocates were available at the originally agreed price, but that they had managed to secure a more senior representative at a higher price as long as payment was made by return. I can see that some clients complain that the company will not let them end the client solicitor agreement, because once they are instructed they have a duty to remain on the court record and only a good reason will allow them to end their appointment. In my case, the opposite was the case that they are arguing, despite the fact that I paid them to represent me at a hearing, they sent a one line email to the court stating that they would not be at the hearing, no reason or justiification was given for the same, I was not even copied in to the email.This firm is not one that I would recommend and neither even is it one that I would recommend if you only had a choice between them and a 5 year old child whose only historical family association with legal matters was a distant cousin that lived next door to the secretary of someone who studied law for one term at university before changing to philosophy! I have no doubt that some of the reviews are genuine, after all, you are dealing with evidence provided by police officers! However, I can't see why anyone would post a fake review about a company they knew nothing about that just so happened to mirror my experience of dealing with the company. All the 1 star reviews are correct!I hope that they respond to this review with their usual pro forma rhetoric because I will then prove everything that I have set out above with evidence of the same. By the way, they also respond to reviews by breaching client confidentiality! Response to NML 10/03/26:I note from your negative reviews that it is likely that you increase your fees more than just "occasionally", but in any event, you only notified me in the afternoon of the last working day before the hearing. Also, you state that it is common for solicitors to withdraw from cases due to not being placed in funds, you also respond to other negative reviews by claiming that you have to remain on the court record unless you have a good reason for coming off the same "solicitors are not permitted to withdraw from cases without good reason.". Increasing your fixed and paid for costs at 4pm on the day before a hearing would not constitute a good reason and neither should you be allowed to do so without informing the client. For the record, whilst you can respond to clients reviews, confidentiality and privilege is not waived by the client and the SRA specifically state you can only do so "provided that you do not disclose any further details beyond that which the client has disclosed.". Your response to one of your previous client's who has also complained about your firm on here on Jul 23, 2025 is an outrageous breach against your clients rights, where you stated"You then sent an email shortly before the trial on 04/07/25 at follows‘Due to my critical financial situation is it possible that I won’t be able to pay any fees before Court trial. Can I get a free solicitor on trial if this happens?"I have not made any financial demands to you, all I have done is requested that you refund me the unused costs that I paid you on account for the work that you have not undertaken. My negative review directly relates to your failure to return my money to me, the point I was making was that if this was returned then my review to some extent would have been mitigated by you in respect of the extent of your negligent failings. I would suggest that it is you who needs to take legal advice because my next step is to complain to the SRA about your conduct and also escalate my complaint to the Legal Ombudsman, who will expect you to provide the documents that I have requested but which you have ignored. Dont worry, I will happily provide an update on this review in due course.
I used NML service it is difficult a very difficult time, there is no point blaming anyone else what ever the outcome as you have to release your at fault in the first place my solicitor was 100% spot on as I could not prove why I had excessive alcohol in my system I know I didn't drink and my drink was tampered with but I could not prove it. So thank you Alpesh
My Experience with the NML was absolutely brilliant! They know what they are doing 💯 %. I was very depressed and lost all hopes of driving again and would most likely loose my job on the process. NML reassured me that they would argue my case and bring the truth and justice and give me a fighting chance to be judged before the Court. They delivered!!! They delivered with professionalism and Integrity and confidence.Titanic “Thank you” to Richard Berman, Aaron, Amy, Michael, Paige, Ewan, Anastasia, Aidan, Lillie and Kate and of course NML. Most obliged. GOD bless you all.
I recently won my motoring case and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service I received. From start to finish, the team was extremely helpful, professional, and supportive. They kept me informed throughout the entire process, explained everything clearly, and were always available to answer my questions.Their expertise and dedication gave me real confidence, and the outcome speaks for itself. I’m very satisfied with the result and truly grateful for all their hard work. I would highly recommend their services to anyone needing assistance with a motoring case.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Legal Support – Worth Every PennyWe cannot thank NML enough for the incredible support and dedication they showed throughout our case, which lasted over a year.At the beginning, the first solicitor we were assigned unfortunately didn’t engage as much as we had hoped. Although they attended on time, the level of support and communication wasn’t what we expected. However, everything completely changed at the second hearing when Mr David Houldcroft represented us.From the very first moment, Mr Houldcroft was outstanding. His communication was exceptional — he kept us fully informed, constantly went into the courtroom to update us on timings and progress, and explained everything clearly and calmly. After the hearing, he took the time to explain the next steps and possible outcomes in terms we could fully understand, which made a huge difference to our confidence and peace of mind.Because of his professionalism and dedication, we decided to upgrade our package with NML to Gold so that Mr Houldcroft could represent us at every hearing. Although it wasn’t cheap, it was worth every single penny. His commitment, attention to detail, and determination to achieve the best possible outcome were truly impressive. He worked closely alongside our reviewing lawyer, Sandra, to ensure every detail of the case was thoroughly prepared and spot on.After multiple hearings and several court adjournments, we are delighted to say that we won our case. It was not easy, but thanks to the incredible work of the NML team — especially Mr Houldcroft — justice was achieved.We cannot recommend NML, Mr David Houldcroft, and Sandra highly enough. If you want a legal team that truly cares, communicates clearly, and fights tirelessly for the best outcome, look no further.P
This was my first time seeking out lawyers and I must say that I'm truly impressed by the level of professionalism displayed by the team. I would like to thank all members of this team, especially Mr. Parker for all of his hard work and understanding; Mr. Roberts for the initial call and positivity, and Kelsey and her team of case workers for being on the ball. My case was successfully dismissed.
I’m very grateful to NML Lawyers for their excellent support in helping me keep my driving licence after a drink driving charge. Sandra Cooper reviewed my case with great care and attention to detail, and Jay Lamosa represented me at trial with professionalism and confidence. Their hard work and commitment made a stressful situation much easier, and I’m very thankful for the outcome. Highly recommended.
