Well what can I say?
I contacted Simon Nicholls 8 days before I was due to go to court, and that wasn’t a problem for him, I had a quick meeting at his office in Norwich and he went through all my info regarding a speeding offence.
And got everything prepared. He was extremely professional all the way through and put mine and my families needs first!
The day of court and I was warned by one of the members of staff that the people who would choose my fate were in a really bad mood and I would more than likely loose my license. That did not deter Simon in anyway! Long story short thanks to Simon

Simon Nicholls represented my partner today in court for a driving offence. I really could not recommend his services highly enough. He was very professional and most importantly straight to the in all aspects of my situation certainly made me feel at ease with what I was facing. He came highly recommended to me and would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone.

Review from Adam Crawford (not using Google). Simon Nicholls is superb at what he does. From the initial point of contact, after being recommended to use him, Simon filled me with confidence and was a pleasure to deal with. He kept me in the know throughout the whole process and achieved the desired result. Would recommend him to everyone. Thank you Simon and thank you Belmores.

Simon Nicholls. Thank you so much again. You are re assuring, Professional and really helped calm my nerves. Great communication throughout and very knowledgeable. Very clear and direct. I was recommended Simon from my divorce solicitor for my criminal accusation from the ex husband. I was extremely pleased I had him fighting my corner, which looked effortlessly from him.
