Reeds Solicitors LLP

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 was initially concerned about the SPJ notice I received from TFL regarding my ticket. I had intended to print my ticket before boarding the train, but unfortunately, the ticket machine was out of order. Although I paid for my journey, I later forgot to print my ticket at next station due to being in a hurry and was approached by a revenue officer in London overground. Following that incident, I became anxious about the possibility of a criminal record and how it might impact my professional life.

In my search for assistance, I reached out to several solicitor firms, but I found many to be unhelpful and dismissive, questioning why I hadn’t printed my ticket and suggesting that my chances of success were slim since TFL handles these cases strictly. This left me feeling frustrated and disheartened.

After conducting further research and reading positive reviews, I decided to contact REEDS. From my very first interaction with case worker Brianna, I felt reassured.Then Brianna assigned my case to solicitor Kate Macnab, who listened attentively to my concerns ,took the time to understand my situation and handled all aspects of my case. She advised me to gather some references and reassured me that I had a good chance of a favorable outcome if I could provide the necessary documentation.

I am extremely grateful to REEDS, Kate Macnab, and Brianna for their support and guidance. My case was ultimately dismissed with a warning, and I have no criminal record. I highly recommend REEDS for anyone needing legal assistance; they offer clarity and peace of mind during challenging times. Thank you for your exceptional service!

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.

I want to say that the solicitor Ayelen White is extremely professional. She provided excellent service and found the only way to help me with my case. She saved my career and mental health. I highly recommend this company.

Reeds were recommended to me via a friend. Right from the start, they were quick to respond, efficient and professional. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

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.

Stuart and his team (Sofia and Georgia) were extremely supportive, professional and hard working. They were always available to us and we felt very safe in their hands knowing that they were getting the job done. We couldn’t have asked for a better team and we would highly recommend them.

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
