This work covers prosecutions and defences in road traffic offences, including drink or drug driving, speeding, dangerous driving, and careless driving, under the Road Traffic Act 1988 and related legislation. A solicitor in this area represents defendants in magistrates’ courts, reviews police evidence, negotiates with prosecutors, and prepares defences, mitigation submissions, and appeals. It also covers advising clients on licence consequences, disqualification risks, and how the case may impact business or personal mobility.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

A solicitor handles the evidence review, prosecution disclosure issues, and the preparation of a full defence or mitigation case. They draft and file statements, instruct expert witnesses (e.g., accident investigators, medical experts), and negotiate with prosecutors on penalties or disqualification. They attend and represent clients at hearings in magistrates’ courts and, where appropriate, higher courts, guiding clients through potential outcomes and ensuring compliance with procedural steps.

Tagged solicitor Steph Grieve

I had an excellent experience with Scullion Law, particularly Stephanie Grieve, who handled my exceptional hardship case. Communication was great throughout the entire build-up, and everything was explained clearly. Stephanie was professional at all times and ultimately secured a successful outcome. I’d highly recommend their services.. From the point of initial contact Stephanie put me and my family at ease and gave me peace of mind that she was the correct person to represent me. I cannot thank her enough.

Tagged solicitor Callum Terry

I recently was caught speeding which ended up in me having to go to court to keep my licence, realising I would require a Solicitor I reached out to Hewitt's and made an appointment with Callum Terry. Callum was the excellent from start to finish and the day at the magistrates when i really thought i would get a 56 day ban, Callum fought my case and i ended up with six points but importantly kept my licence. I have used Hewitt's for a couple of things now and i highly recommend their services. Many thanks Colin Elrick
