Utterly useless

Sat on the phone for 40 minutes listening to endless information about how useful the website was (if I could have got it from the website, I would have done!).
Eventually got through to an advisor who was stumped by my query. so they dropped the call!

This is a fake review. I have never had a conversation with this person, and there is no recorded message lating 40 minutes, or any length at all.

An exceptional experience…

I contacted David Carrod of small claims advisor and within an 11 minute phone call he was able to give me professional advice in a succinct and straightforward manner. Prior to engaging with David, I had contacted several debt collection agencies as well as legal firms to assist me in recovering a debt and they all charged me exhorbitant fees but failed to assist me in the recovery of a debt owed to me.

David provided me the same service but at a fraction of the cost. He assisted me in filing a money claim against a scammer who owed me money. Thanks to David's professionalism and first class service my money claim has been successfully submitted against the scammer.

Furthermore, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend David as he an industry specialist regarding small claims and comes with a wealth of experience plus he provides relevant advice tailored to your circumstances.

Unwavering Support and Expertise

David was an absolute lifesaver throughout the whole court process. From the very beginning, he was there, patiently guiding me through everything, and helping me prepare all the necessary documents. His support was beyond anything I could have hoped for—he made sure everything was in place and explained things in a way I could understand. Honestly, I don't think I could have managed in court without him. He not only made a potentially stressful situation more manageable but also gave me the confidence I needed to get through it. I’m incredibly grateful for everything he did. Thank you David

1,000,000% recommend!

We have worked with David twice now, and he has been utterly brilliant! So easy to communicate with by email and phone! His fees are incredible in comparison to his wealth of knowledge, and understanding, David doesn’t coddle you, he’s straight to the point, but you know it’s all coming from a place of support and care! Thank you David, you are amazing!!

Expert, considered legal advice at a very reasonable price

David responded to my query promptly, methodically and gave me a considered, balanced recommendation that my claim was not something he would suggest proceeding with. If I was ever in the position of needing to make a claim again, I would certainly give him a call as I would be confident that he would proceed only if he genuinely believed I had a strong likelihood of succeeding and his fees seem very reasonable given his excellent expertise and personal service. Thank you very much for your time today David - I appreciate it.

Invaluable advice and service

I cannot rate David and his work highly enough. My partner and I contacted David having seen him on a television documentary about parking tickets. We had been incorrectly advised by a friend regarding our parking ticket situation and turned to David in desperation. His diligence is second to none and his expertise, extensive. He would often reply to emails immediately and outside of office hours which goes a long way in my book. He also turned round a woefully inadequate defence written by me in to a witness statement that was liquid gold. Entirely due to David, the claimant decided to discontinue the case, saving us a claim of almost £300. If you have any parking or general small claims issue, David is your man. Thank you, David. Your help has been invaluable.

Private parking harassment

I have been harassed by a parking company for four years .
Their claim was unjustified and I had resisted their threats of debt collectors and bailiffs I was considering giving up for the sake of my nerves when I came across the service provided by David.
He helped me to respond to the requests required by the court and advised how to deal with the claimants solicitors. His support gave me confidence and ultimately they dropped the case.
I would thoroughly recommend his service.

An invaluable service

David called me immediately after I made contact with him via his website, which was greatly appreciated in my time-sensitive legal case. He is an excellent listener and swiftly able to absorb complex information and give an expert appraisal of the best next steps to take. The advice he gave made an enormous difference in how I resolved matters. And, to my pleasant surprise, that initial call was free! Thank you, David. I shall certainly be recommending you henceforth.

One of the best

David helped us win one case, along with our costs and advised us to settle on the second. His advice can occasionally be on the blunt side but at least you know where you stand. His knowledge on parking matters was first class and I suspect he has a good deal of knowledge in other areas of the law, although have only used him for the former. I wish the legal system as a whole was as good. Refreshingly brilliant. We are indebted to you.

Not recommended...

It was difficult to communicate as David only communicates via email - he did not allow phone communication. This makes really difficult If you want to explain something or try to understand his view about the case. He only filled a form which was very simple. Appeal Judge rejected the form straightaway as it was nothing on the form apart from 'we believe that decision made by Judge was wrong". I knew this would be the case even though before submitting the form.. Waste of time and money. At least I would have expected better guidance and/or next steps.

Update - 5th May 21

Firstly, I have right to provide a review regarding the service I received. Replying as 'so-called review is completely false' seems very aggressive and not professional.

Most importantly, publishing the customer's private matters on public domain without permission does not look professional. So it seems, when a bad review is published, all court/appeal details could be revealed online without any consideration in the name of 'defense'. How does it work with the Data Protection Act or in terms of customer's privacy? Not ethical at all.

Initially, I said my main criticism was the communication as everything had to be done via email (no phone communication) hence it made it difficult to explain all issues in writing. In addition, I still believe that some reasoning (briefly) were needed to be included in the appeal form (may be on a separate sheet) for Circuit Judge to consider rather than saying 'Judge erred all his decisions (paragraph 1,2,3,4,5 etc )'.

In summary, I just wanted to share my experience so hopefully it could help someone in their decision making process since the dealing with court is very unpleasant experience as we all know.

This so-called review is completely false.

I completed the application form with full reasoning as to why permission to appeal should be granted. Unfortunately, the Circuit Judge agreed with the original District Judge, and did not grant leave to appeal.

I advised her to walk away from it, but she still refused to accept the Court's decision. The last contact I had with this person was in July 2019, so I have no idea why she is bringing this up now.

Here is what I actually stated on the N164 application form, which is very different from what the reviewer says:

Section 5 Grounds for appeal

Please state in numbered paragraphs, why you say that the Judge who made the order you are appealing against was wrong.

1. That the District Judge erred by failing to attach due weight to the Expert Report ordered by the Court, and the evidence of the proceedings of the Architects' Registration Board Investigation Panel and Professional Conduct
Committee.

2. That, in light of the findings that the Claimant's services were not performed with reasonable care and skill in a number of respects and/or fell below that which may reasonably be expected of a professional Architect / Surveyor, the District
Judge erred in disallowing the Defendant's counterclaim as itemised in the Defendant's spreadsheet as numbers 1 to 9.

3. That the District Judge, in possession of the facts and evidence, erred in his conclusions in paras. 37, 40, 45, 67, 76, 83, and 89 of his written Judgment.

4. In the premises, it is submitted that the Defendant's counterclaim in the sum of £4,683 as pleaded, should have been awarded by the District Judge.


Section 6 What are you asking the Appeal Court to do?

I am asking the Appeal Court to:-
(tick the appropriate box)

set aside the order which I am appealing
vary the order which I am appealing and substitute the following order. Set out in the following space the order you are asking for:-

Judgment for Defendant against Claimant on the counterclaim in the sum of £4,683.00

Claimant shall pay £3,783 (the amount of judgment on the counterclaim net of judgment on the claim) to the Defendant within 14 days of this Order

I can’t highly recommend David Garrod…

I can’t highly recommend David Garrod and his team enough! He helped with cases from parking company UKPC and FIRST PORT property services. From start to finish David has been fantastic. His vast knowledge of the law in small claims matters is second to none. He wrote a very robust defence statement in both matters and as a result both the claimants cases were dismissed. 5* HIGHLY RECOMMEND

We are a trade association

We are a trade association, and have had some problems with a small minority of our members falling into arrears with their membership fees, while other non-member companies have been unlawfully using our logos and registered trade marks, holding themselves out to be members when they are not. We have used the services of Small Claims Advisor Limited for around 8 months now, and have found them to be extremely efficient, knowledgeable on matters of contract law and intellectual property, and they have provided the necessary services at very reasonable rates compared with the thousands of pounds we paid to firms of solicitors.

As a result, we have achieved satisfactory settlements in many cases without the need to engage in protracted court proceedings, whilst other cases are ongoing at court, and adjourned due to Covid-19 and various other reasons. David has represented us at some preliminary hearings, where his clear and concise submissions have found favour with various District Judges, and his attention to detail in the preparation of Witness Statements and evidence has been of the highest standard. I can thoroughly recommend Small Claims Advisor for any type of civil litigation.

Amazing and excellent service

Amazing and excellent service. I 100% recommend the services from small claims adviser. I had to ask many questions and asked for my letters be amended and sent to different addresses and David was will and very prompt doing it. Finally my case was successful. The services were outstanding. Obviously the success of your case depends on the information you have but small claims adviser was brilliant on giving me advice and guidance.

I contacted David on the 17th and he had my court papers prepared and ready to file to court the next day.

He has set out my case extremely well and has taken a huge amount of pressure off my shoulders.

Highly recommended.

Affordable, knowledgeable and excellent service.
David knew the law better than my insurance/panel solicitors. Took a big company to mediation and settled for a reasonable amount too. Would highly recommend.
Thanks very much for taking the worry out of this.

I received a really quick and efficient service from David regarding some parking ticket court proceedings - still awaiting the outcome but I’m very positive!

He is affordable compared with your average high street law firm and seems to have a much better understanding on consumer law than most lawyers.

He also has a really good sense of humour (he must have been a comedian in another life I’m sure!!)

I Highly recommend this firm and would use again in future for sure!

This user did not use any service. He emailed to say he had unpaid invoices, and then sent copies of his invoices, which were just templates with no names on them, no company registration or VAT numbers, and full of meaningless garbled data. I cannot provide service to a person / company who is incapable of producing meaningful paperwork.
