At Manak Solicitors, we have built a reputation as one of London’s leading firms for defending TFL fare evasion cases. We are proud to share that between November 2025 and April 2026, we achieved a 92.3% success rate for our clients facing Transport for London fare evasion proceedings, a result that reflects the expertise, dedication, and strategic approach of our specialist legal team.

Meet Samir Moftah: The Specialist Behind the Results.
With over 12 years of experience in serious crime and litigation, Samir Moftah is one of the most respected criminal defence lawyers in the field. As Director and Head of Serious Crime and Litigation at Manak Solicitors, Samir has spent over a decade representing clients in cases brought by Transport for London.
Samir’s approach is straightforward: every client deserves a robust, expert defence, regardless of the nature of the allegation. His deep understanding of the prosecution process, combined with his ability to identify weaknesses in a case at the earliest opportunity, has consistently delivered exceptional results for clients who might otherwise have faced a criminal conviction.
His track record in TFL fare evasion cases is a testament to this philosophy. Where others may see a minor allegation, Samir recognises that the consequences, including a criminal record, a fine, and reputational damage, can have a lasting impact on a person’s life and career. That is why he treats every case with the same level of care and thoroughness.
What Does a TFL Fare Evasion Allegation Mean for You?
Being contacted by Transport for London or receiving a summons for fare evasion can be incredibly stressful. Many people are unsure whether to respond or ignore the letter. If not handled correctly, fare evasion allegations can result in a criminal conviction, a fine, and a permanent mark on your record that could affect your employment prospects and reputation.
TFL prosecutes thousands of cases every year. However, a prosecution does not mean a conviction is inevitable. With the right legal representation from an experienced specialist like Samir Moftah, many cases can be resolved favourably without a criminal record, and often without the need to attend court.
