Nathan was amazing. He helped me avoid a prosecution from TfL. If you receive a verification letter or a court notice then call Nathan ASAP! Pay the fees and avoid a conviction which could ruin your life!

I instructed Nathan Seymour-Hyde in relation to a serious fare evasion matter. I was found to have an incorrect ticket by Revenue Protection Officers and having looked at my purchase history, it was clear to them that I had been purchasing incorrect tickets (and previously child tickets on top of the wrong station) for 1 and a half years, making me a ‘persistent offender’. My case was of a quite serious nature, with 138 incidents of fare evasion. I was worried about being prosecuted and receiving a criminal record, especially with the term ‘fraud’ being thrown around. Working in the legal sector, a criminal record would have had an enormous impact on my career and consequently my mental heath. I quickly contacted Nathan having seen his incredible reviews which speak to his track record. Every member of the Reeds team that I have dealt with has been professional, efficient and friendly. Nathan put me at ease from the first appointment and I was confident handing the matter over to him and trusting him to deal with it whilst I put it to the back of my mind. I knew I was in safe hands. Two weeks after my initial consultation I have been offered an out of court settlement! I was expecting a much heftier fine and potentially a much worse outcome involving a criminal record, given the seriousness of my very evident repeat offending. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Nathan is true to his reputation.

Following a potential prosecution for using an out-of-date railcard, I reached out to Reeds Solicitors and was assisted by Nathan Seymour-Hyde. Nathan handled my situation promptly and with great care. He was incredibly patient, considerate, and took the time to understand the significance of securing an out-of-court settlement for me, as well as the broader implications a prosecution could have. He took all the necessary and required steps to ensure the outcome was favorable for me, going above and beyond to keep me informed and updated—even outside of office hours—to ensure I had enough time to prepare the required documentation. I can't thank him and the team at Reeds enough for their hard work and incredibly quick response.

I recently had a fare evasion case from southeastern. I immediately contacted Reeds and was put in touch with Nathan who helped with everything. Nathan spoke me through the whole process and shared his expertise on how to deal with it. My situation would have probably would have been a serious case of fare evasion, but Nathan was clear with how we would deal with it and took my case forward on my behalf, and managed to secure an out of court settlement for me. It is safe to say I have learnt my lesson on my end, but also if anyone is going through a similar situation, don’t panic and talk to Nathan, he is professional and extremely understanding, I could not recommend him highly enough.

After I made the mistake of following my wife through a barrier on the tube, a revenue protection officer stopped me. Knowing I had made a mistake, I thought I would get a fixed penalty notice.
That's not how TFL operate. They can only take you to court!! With the prospect of a fine, court costs, and a criminal record, I started to search for ways to respond. Rail forums pointed me in the direction of getting legal advice. I found Reeds and the initial contact with one of Nathan's Colleagues Brianna, who was super helpful. I then met with Nathan and the initial consultation put my mind at ease.
The communications and help where Nathan helped build a case that my prosecution was not in the public's interest.
So I relived that I received a caution and nothing more.
If you get an SJP from TFL, I would 100% contact Nathan / Reeds immediately and don't attempt a response to TFL yourself. They can advise whether your case in not in the public interest to proceed

After receiving a court summons for travelling incorrectly with a 60+ Oyster my heart fell and I was panicked at the thought of a court hearing, criminal conviction and the possible implications on my career. After googling my options, several searches led me to Reeds solicitors and in particular Nathan.
After an initial video call which was promptly set up and a conversation discussing my options, Nathan informed me of my possible chances of success. I decided to proceed with appealing and with Nathan’s help we drafted representation to the court. I have just heard today that thankfully the matter will be resolved out of court. This could not have been done without Nathan and I strongly recommend him to anyone in this position. For weeks I have been stressed but he helped to calm my nerves and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. Fantastically professional and helpful.

Having been stopped by an Revenue Protection Officer for travelling on an incorrect ticket, a quick search on the internet revealed how serious this could be for me, as the RPO informed me that the Train company would review all my history via the app (which would reveal repeat short fares), and the potential for any prosecution (and criminal record) to have a significant impact on my career.

I reached out to Reeds via their contact form having read extensive positive reviews across multiple forums and dealt with Nathan. Firstly, I was contacted by Nathan's caseworker who helped to set up the initial consultation and was very reassuring and fluent communicator.

Nathan is highly experienced in this field and will advise the best course of action to take. Having supplied all the information after my consultation, I felt very reassured I was in good hands with Nathan leading on my case.

Nathan set to work engaging proactively with the Train company prior to me receiving any letters from them. After around 3 weeks, Nathan had managed to secure an out of court settlement helping to bring this matter to a close.

I would highly recommend engaging with Reeds if you are facing a similar situation.

We contacted Reeds Solicitor following my 17 year son receiving a criminal court summons for travelling on a child ticket. Nathan Seymour-Hyde responded even thorough it was a bank holiday weekend and immediately reduced our stress levels and anxiety around the situation. He was extremely helpful, empathetic and simply outlined the recommended approach. His expert knowledge and experience in the area ensured a satisfactory and speedy outcome which we all were very grateful for. I couldn’t recommend Nathan highly enough.

We called in Nathan a few days before a scheduled case management hearing for a vexatious private prosecution being brought by GoVia Thameslink.

He talked us through the process, what he could likely achieve, and clearly had done this many many times.

Within 48 hours it was all done and dusted, out of court settlement for 150 quid.

Can recommend using Nathan to make the whole things go away rather than trying to rage against the machine that is Thameslink. (And having spent £170k with them between us over the years, trust me we were raging!)

When we first engaged with Nathan on the video call we immediately knew we had made the right call to maximise our chances of success with our TFL case. He was a great listener, had real empathy for the challenge we were facing and, most importantly, his in-depth knowledge and considerable experience in this field enabled him to construct the best possible case ... which, needless to say, went on to secure the best possible outcome. We would recommend Nathan wholeheartedly !
