Client Testimonials

I really appreciated the directness of Martin from the very first interaction. He wasn’t “salesy” and told me that he would give me the best professional advice even if it wasn’t what I wanted to hear. I found Phillip personable, he listened well and asked appropriate questions. Marc followed up on emails as he said he would. I was relieved and happy that all charges were dropped even before court. Thank you team. 🙏🏽

Philip Trotter represented me at a 12-point hearing and successfully pleaded exceptional hardship, allowing me to keep licence. He was friendly and helpful throughout. His approach was very thorough and professional. He exuded calmness and confidence (not what I was feeling). I was very impressed by his well-practiced presentation skills, as were the magistrates based on the successful outcome. I would strongly recommend Philip and the rest of the team that I liaised with at Hammond Trotter Solicitors. Great job - thanks!

Mr Trotter was very professional and thorough in dealing with my case. I was facing the possibility of not only losing my driving licence but also my job. I felt relaxed and confident going into court, due to his no-nonsense approach. He presented my defence very accurately and did everything in his power to help me avoid a ban. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation to mine.
