In England, ‘Special Reasons’ covers the narrow grounds a magistrate can accept to avoid disqualifying a driver when a driving offence has occurred, typically after a drink-drive or similar offence. A solicitor explains whether the facts may meet the test for special reasons, and helps gather evidence to support that argument. They prepare submissions for the magistrates’ court, obtain medical records, letters from employers, and any other material that could show why a ban would be unjust or overly harsh, and they represent the client at the hearing.

Where a solicitor protects your position

Special Reasons submissions hinge on circumstances that would make a disqualification disproportionate. A solicitor collects medical reports, explains how health or other exceptional factors affected the offence, and frames these factors to the court. The process is time-bound and outcome-dependent, with the magistrates’ discretion deciding whether to exercise leniency in place of a ban.

Amanda Sheppard

Tagged solicitor Amanda Sheppard

I was going to represent myself when my friend said to my I think you need a solicitor. Amanda ended up representing me. She was so hands on from the very beginning, reassured me and kept me in the loop with everything so I ended up going from a bag of nerves to going in with confidence. I ended up getting half the sentence I would have if I would have represented myself. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome thanks to Amanda and would 100% recommend to anyone who is needing to go to court. They know their stuff!
