Our criminal barristers specialise in driving offences.
Our criminal barristers are highly specialist when it comes to defending clients accused of all types of driving offences from speeding and drink and drug driving through to serious injury or death caused by dangerous driving.
Given the enormous experience we have in acting for those accused of driving offences, we know how to represent clients in both Magistrates or Crown Court and how to give our clients the very best chance of achieving the best possible outcome from their case.
We will make sure the correct procedures have been followed, that adequate warning signs were present, that all the statutory requirements to impose a speed limit were in place and that any speed cameras were fully operational.
If the case involves alcohol or drugs, we will ensure any samples were obtained and tested correctly. And in every case, we will determine whether the notice of intended prosecution was served within the statutory time limit and that all legal procedures were followed. We also have a long and successful record of arguing why a driver should not be disqualified, particularly if their livelihood depends on being able to drive.
