Drink Driving

Charged with Drink Driving? – Help is at hand, we may be able to save your licence.

Drink Driving is a serious matter that can lead to a prison sentence. The court has to disqualify you from driving if you are convicted of drink driving. This often leads to a loss of employment and financial difficulties.

We can often help to prevent this

Case Study Mr A was charged with drink driving, he had provided a urine sample but the police only took one sample, they split it into 2 and said that counted as 2 samples – Result – the court threw the case out, client kept his licence and our costs we repaid to him.

There are very strict guidelines that the police have to follow, if they do not follow these then the court will throw the case out.

We specialise in finding a defence for drink driving matters.

Case Study Ms C was charged with failing to provide a breath test, we were able to establish that there were medical grounds for not being able to provide a specimen. Case dismissed, our legal costs were refunded to the client.

Because we only do motoring cases we have developed strategies for defending people charged with drink driving.

Case study Miss G was charged with drink driving, she told the police that she only drove to get away from an abusive boyfriend. The police did not believe her, thankfully after we got involved the court did believe her and found her not guilty. She was able to keep her licence and carry on working. Of course all her legal costs were repaid to her.

There are a lot of things that can go wrong with a drink driving prosecution and we are able to identify these and ensure that you are not convicted when there is a defence.

Even if there is not a defence then we may still be able to keep your licence.

Sometimes there are special reasons that the court can take into account that will allow someone who is guilty of drink driving to keep their licence. These are shortness of distance driven, emergency and where someone has given you more alcohol than you were aware of (spiked drinks) Special Reasons

If we can’t find a defence or special reasons then we will be able to reduce the level of your ban. We almost always get a lower ban than the guidelines suggest you should get. See our Mitigation Page to see how.
