Stephen Oldham represented RJ at Newcastle-under-Lyme Magistrates’ Court

Stephen Oldham helped me to keep my driving licence after I totted up to 15 penalty points. I was really worried about being banned from driving for six months. My job involves driving all over the UK and abroad. I would have lost my job. Stephen dealt with every part of my case. He has no secretaries or assistants; he does all of those jobs himself. That meant that I always knew I was speaking to an expert solicitor from the start.

A big thank you to Stephen for his time.

Stephen provided accurate, sound and detailed advice that allowed my 17 year old son and I to form our own view on the case, the implications and the best way forward. Stephen was the only solicitor to support a guilty plea based on the merit of the case. Because my son was well informed, he represented himself in court, pleaded guilty, showed genuine remorse for the drug impaired driving incident and has received the minimum penalty of a 12 month ban and a £300 fine. Good advice is hard to find.

Stephen Oldham Solicitors represented Professor Ward in a case before Mold Magistrates’ Court

It is a great pleasure for me to write a testimonial for Stephen Oldham of Stephen Oldham Solicitors. Stephen acted for me on a driving offence case which could have resulted in my being disqualified from driving had I been found guilty. However, as a result of his defence strategy, the CPS agreed that it would not be in the public interest to pursue the matter. So my case never even went to court. This was not only a great relief but also quite beyond my expectations. For the moment, as a new company, Stephen has a rather unique business model. He has no office. He works from home. He has no other employees. I was given his name by another solicitor. There are, however, many advantages with this model at this stage. First and foremost, during our work together, I felt that I was his only client – though I know this not to have been the case. He appeared to be on call 24/7. My first contact with him was a 7pm telephone call to my home after I had a left a message for him at 4.30pm that same day. Once he accepted my case, communication between us was immediate and personal. Whatever we discussed on the phone was backed up in writing by email within less than 24 hours. As a result of this immediate follow-up to all our discussions we were able, very swiftly, to develop a step by step strategy for my defence. This clear, comprehensive strategy was then presented to the CPS well before the trial. As a result they finally agreed to drop the case. In all our conversations I was impressed by his knowledge of the relevant laws, cases related to my situation and legal procedure. I would have no hesitation to recommend him as a well-qualified, realistic and pragmatic counsel.

Very good dealing with Stephen, didn't sugar coat anything and managed to get the prosecution to agree to a lesser charge which reduced my ban considerably and kept me in my job. I was represented by Lucy Whitaker who spoke on my behalf and was excellent.

A client

I can't thank Stephen enough for his exceptional work as my motoring lawyer. He successfully defended me in not one, but two separate cases where I was wrongly accused of driving without the correct license. From the very beginning, Stephen was incredibly accessible, always ready to answer my questions and guide me through the process with clear, professional advice. His knowledge of the law and attention to detail were impressive, and it was clear he was committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me.

What really stood out was his dedication and responsiveness. No matter how complex things became, Stephen was always there to explain every detail, ensuring I felt confident and supported at every stage. Thanks to his skillful defense, both cases were dismissed, and I couldn't be more relieved.

If you're ever in need of a motoring lawyer who truly cares about your case and is willing to go the extra mile, Stephen is the person you want in your corner. Highly recommended!
