As well as giving you honest and practical legal advice, we will also explore the technical and factual defences that may result in you keeping your driving license or avoiding serious punishments including potential imprisonment. Our team of lawyers are experts in motoring law and are available to talk to you on the telephone.
The law around motoring offences is complex and challenging. We have had experience in dealing with all of the various offences, the following is a flavour of the sort of allegations our clients have faced and have successfully defended on a regular basis:
We have the experience and skills that make a difference to your chances of success. We have been representing people charged with driving related matters for over 40 years. In that time the high standard of our work has been recognised in the two most prominent legal directories, Chambers and Partners and the Legal 500.
We regularly attend the Magistrates Court to represent people charged with all of the allegations listed above. Our approach to each case remains the same, methodical and forensic. We will take you through each issue in your case and whenever possible challenge the prosecution’s case against you.
When we find a point we can challenge the prosecution on or a point we can take in your favour, we use all of our experience and expertise to get you the best result. In the many years we have been representing people accused of driving offences we have built up a network of skilled experts. They can provide reports and advice on all areas of Road Traffic law.
Our experts have successfully given evidence in court on a whole host of areas. These include issues such as the speed a vehicle was going before a collision, the point of impact when a collision took place and more detailed accident reconstruction reports. We can also obtain “back calculation” reports from forensic toxicologists in relation to allegations of driving or being in charge of a vehicle while under the influence of drink or drugs. These reports use the level of alcohol in a sample of your blood or breath to work out how much alcohol was in your blood at an earlier fixed time.
We can accept funding for your case on either a private basis or via legal aid, if you are eligible. If you fund your case privately we can discuss with you the level of fees and the structure can be fixed for prescribed pieces of work or at an hourly rate.

Depending on the allegation against you it may be that your case starts with an interview under caution with the police. If it does, then you are entitled to free and independent legal advice at that interview. We can provide that advice without the need to charge you.
What you say, or don’t say, in an interview with the police can play a vital part in any later court proceedings. We can provide a lawyer who will make a difference at this early stage. Always ask for a lawyer before you are interviewed by the police.
After the interview you may find that you are charged or summonsed to attend court and face a prosecution for driving related allegations. Alternatively you might not be interviewed and you may simply receive notification in the post that you are to be prosecuted in court.
If you receive such notification you will usually have a few days to obtain legal advice and representation. This is a vital period of time in your case. If you instruct us we can obtain the prosecution evidence, analyse it and advise you on your chances of success and the best approach to take.
Early advice from us can reduce or eliminate a driving ban. It can save time and money and help you to keep your driving license.
If you choose to contest the case, the matter will go to trial. We can then prepare your case by taking witness statements and preparing both expert reports and legal arguments to support your defence. Our hard work and attention to detail is regularly the deciding factor in these cases.
