Road Traffic Motoring and Road Haulage Solicitors
We have established a unique national panel of
specialist Road
Traffic, Road Haulage and Motoring Law solicitors, covering England, Wales,
Scotland and Northern Ireland. They are all willing to help you
or your business, using our unique
fixed fee menu of charges, if you need advice and/or representation in
respect of any Road Traffic Offence. If you have been injured in a motoring accident we
also have specialist personal injury solicitors who can help you make your claim
at no cost to you - click
here for more.
If the sort of information you are after is just what sort of penalty is likely to
be imposed for a specific driving offence (points, fine, ban etc?), then you can always try our
simple Road
Reckoner service.
If you need more than this then you may need a solicitor
to help and advise, and it pays to get someone who knows what they are doing.
The guy that helped you through your divorce or to buy your house, is unlikely
to be any good standing up in front of the Magistrates. If you would just like some
initial advice or guidance on the telephone then you can use our free
motoring telephone advice service - click here for
more info. 
You should note that legal aid is generally not available for motoring offences, unless they are the more serious kind, but a good solicitor will discuss this possibility with you. If you fight a case and win then some, or all, of your solicitor's costs may well be paid by the court.
You may also be able to claim under a legal expenses insurance policy for legal representation, or, if there are possible civil proceedings (eg damage or injury after an accident) your motor insurers may be willing to support your legal efforts in the criminal proceedings, as success may help them fight any claim that is being made. Again your solicitor can look at this for you.
However, if push comes to shove, then you may have to pay for legal help yourself. We won't pretend that it is cheap, but it could be money well spent, as reducing or keeping points off your licence may well save you hundreds of pounds in increased insurance premiums, and just how would you manage if you lost your licence altogether?
Working with our panel solicitors we have introduced a menu of fixed fee services, so that you know where you stand. If your case does not fit into the fixed fee scheme then our panel solicitors will advise you what their charges will be.
