We regularly represent clients charged with driving offences, from the most serious including causing death by dangerous driving to driving without due care and attention or whilst using a mobile phone. We are experts in dealing with all aspects of motoring law. This includes offences involving allegations of speeding, no insurance, failing to stop/report an accident and of course drink/drug driving and breathalyser matters.
Legal Aid is very important to clients with limited means who need representation in the courts. Legal aid is subject to means testing and this is causing considerable delays. If you need legal aid, we will need to submit an application as soon as possible. We can supply you with the necessary forms.
Many Clients wish to instruct us on a private client basis without recourse to Legal Aid. We aim to be as efficient as possible in representing clients in order to minimize any cost which will be incurred but at the same time we wish to maintain our high standards in robustly defending client's interests.

They went above and beyond for my POCA! Thank you for being a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible.
My barrister was patient, very understanding, dedicated, answered all my questions, even when I asked them several times. My family and I are eternally grateful for the service and I hereby highly recommend this law firm and they do exactly what their slogan says, Standing Up For You!
You are always in my prayers.
