Criminal Motor Proceedings

There are an increasing number of ways to fall foul of the road traffic criminal law system, ranging from simple speeding offences to more serious offences of causing Death by Dangerous or Careless Driving.

Finding yourself involved directly in road traffic criminal proceedings can be an incredibly worrying and frightening experience, especially if you are arrested and detained in police custody for any period of time.

A conviction can also, in some circumstances, affect your employment.

It is vital that you know and understand what your rights are under these circumstances, particularly with regard to how long you can be kept in custody, how to conduct yourself and what you should (and should not) say while under arrest.
Our legal services deal with:
  • Defending Motoring offences
  • Particular experience in acting for professional drivers, especially in the haulage industry
    • In addition, we provide advice and support for any period of detention at the Police Station.

    Should your case go to court we work with specialist criminal Barristers to prepare and represent you at the Magistrates or Crown Court (and if necessary, The Court of Appeal).

    Please call and take advantage of our free 30 minute consultation. Saturday and evening appointments also available by appointment.
