Andy Oldroyd was recommended to me by a colleague who had been well supported by him in a kind and empathetic way. Andy was very helpful in fully explaining this unknown and intimidating driving offence process. It meant that it was as stress-free an experience as it could be. He even showed me inside the court room before the court case started which helped me better prepare for the actual case. I would without hesitation recommend Andy.
