I have over 20 years of experience in defending people charged with road traffic offences. I understand the devastating effect the loss of licence can have on a person.
I will work with you to identify any defences you may have to the charges you face. In the event that there are no defences available to you I will understand your personal circumstances, and present the best mitigation in an effort to keep any sentence to a minimum.
My approach
I have considerable practical experience in all areas of motoring law. In my career I have both prosecuted and defended in motoring cases which means I can easily identify all the pitfalls in a case.
I will speak to you over the telephone without charge to understand the nature of your case and how I might be able to assist. I will provide you with clear and understandable advice.
I will offer a reasonble fixed fee for you case which will be based on the amount of work that your case requires.

Represented a defendant charged with speeding (100 mph). Mitigation placed before the Court which ensured the client kept his licence.
