Having the right support and representation at the earliest opportunity can significantly improve your chances of being found not guilty or achieving the best possible outcome and avoid you being banned from driving.
Notices of Intended Prosecution can be defective and if you do not understand how to deal with them, you can end up with points on your licence that could have been avoided – we can protect your position from when you receive one.
How would a driving ban impact on you financially, on your business, your employees, your job or family? Most of us take for granted that we can drive but how would your life change if you could not? Disqualification from driving has an enormous impact on everyday life. It impinges on your family and can even cause you to lose your job. With the growing number of speed cameras on our roads, momentary lapses of concentration can easily see you pick up points resulting in life changing consequences.
We understand that the prospect of attending Court can be daunting, but when coupled with the risk of being disqualified from driving it can be overwhelming. We can guide you through the whole process giving you peace of mind that you have instructed a specialist solicitor who only deals with driving offences.
For some driving offences, a driving ban is mandatory, in other cases, it is up to the discretion of the Magistrates. If you accumulate 12 points in 3 years you face a 6 month driving ban under what is called the “totting up procedure” – a specialist driving offence solicitor knows how to present mitigating circumstances and can often get a penalty reduced or, avoid you being banned for any period of time.

These are some of the offences I regularly deal with
Failing to give driver identity information
Dealing with a Notice of Intended Prosecution is not as easy as you think. We can advise on whether the Notice is valid & avoid your being convicted of failing to comply with it which carries a 6 point penalty. Contact us before you send it off!
We will check the evidence that the prosecution seek to rely on and identify any available defence that you could put forward. We work with experts who can find ways of challenging evidence, especially where the case against you is based on your having been paced by a following police car.
You can avoid disqualification if you have an “exceptional hardship” argument that shows the consequences for you would go beyond inconvenience & be disproportionate. We specialise in these arguments losing only one in the last two years.
If you have been charged with a drink driving offence, we will thoroughly examine the procedure followed by the police to identify possible defences you can rely on. We will also make sure that if you plead guilty, compelling mitigating arguments will be put forward on your behalf.
In cases where a motorist has a “genuine and honest” belief that they were insured & the fact that they were not is due to a third party, it may be possible to ask the Magistrates not to endorse your licence with 6 penalty points by using what is known as a “special reasons” argument.
The Police are still charging people with this offence when the law makes it clear that they are technically not guilty. In addition, the prosecution evidence is often based on observing a driver for only a few seconds – evidence that can be shown to be unreliable.

Jill S.
"For me it was an emotional journey, waiting a year for the case to be heard in court, with court cases being delayed due to the Covid pandemic, and not knowing if I would loose my license and hence my job which relies on me being able to drive. Frank took time to understand my circumstances and nailed it in the court room! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Frank. Hopefully I won't need him again, but if I do, he'll be the first person I call."
