Fare Evasion Case

Cannot recommend Makwana Solicitors more highly.

From the free initial consultation to my experience post-hiring I felt supported and received world class advice from Shella and the rest of the team.

TFL Case

Shella and her team delivered exceptional and well-informed service on the Fare evasion subject matter. They were proactive, attentive, and quickly devised an effective plan of action.

Shazia offered consultancy and took necessary steps, presenting the provided evidence in a concise and compelling case, which gave me peace of mind. They are a fantastic team, and I highly recommend them.

Hugely positive experience.

This has been a very anxious time indeed. Meeting at first with Shella Makwana felt very comfortable and reassuring and I felt I was in good hands. At Court to be represented by Sunil Lakhani was a positive experience and I am very grateful to both solicitors. I would not have been able to have the (very good) outcome had I not been represented. I’ve still got my licence.

Shella understood exactly what I want and delivered

From the first conversation I had with Shella, I knew that she understood what it was that I needed. She has a very calm nature about her and asks all the right questions. She believed in me and understood the importance of the outcome of my case. Would highly recommend Shella!

Shella was excellent and very reassuring from the point of contact!

Shella really understood and asked the right questions throughout the process. She reassured my husband and I and we left feeling confident following the first call. The process did take longer than expected but we got the desired outcome through patience, resilience and trust! Thank you Shella for all your support and help!

TFL Fare Evasion - Successful Outcome

I cannot thank Shella Makwana and the team at Makwana Solicitors enough for their support, professionalism, and genuine care throughout one of the most stressful periods of my life. From the very first conversation, Shella provided not only expert legal advice, but also compassion, patience, and reassurance when I needed it most.

Facing potential prosecution by TfL was incredibly daunting, with the risk of a criminal record and its devastating consequences on my career and future. Shella handled my case with exceptional diligence and understanding taking the time to listen to my circumstances, help me prepare a thorough mitigation package, and present my case in the best possible light.

Thanks to Shella’s incredible support and strategy, my case was successfully closed with a warning and no prosecution. This outcome has allowed me to move forward with my life, career, and well-being intact—and I will always be grateful.

If you’re looking for a solicitor who is sharp, thoughtful, and truly invested in your outcome, I wholeheartedly recommend Makwana Solicitors.

I've had a really positive experience with Makawana Solicitors. Their patience, knowledge, and genuine understanding stood out from the start. They took the time to explain everything clearly, never rushed the process, and made sure I felt supported throughout.
