ROAD TRAFFIC LAW

Justice for You

We’ve been practicing Road Traffic Law for years, with countless successful cases. Our clients can count on our Road Traffic Law Lawyers to manage the legal process as timeously and efficiently as possible to achieve the best possible outcome.

​

Road traffic law is extremely complicated making it essential that you seek the advice of a specialist. Sometimes a motoring offence may be minor; other times it could be far more serious with potentially devastating consequences. If you have received a notice of intended prosecution, received a court citation or have been contacted by the police, we can advise you on the best course of action to take.

If you have been summoned to court our solicitors can provide you with information on the likely outcome of your case and, if necessary, defend you in court, especially if you face a driving ban / disqualification.

As road traffic lawyers with extensive experience helping clients defend road traffic charges in the Scottish courts, we appreciate the potentially serious consequences a motoring conviction can have on your life and for your family. Our road traffic solicitors will do everything we can for you, within the bounds of road traffic law, to protect your driving licence and prevent you from going to prison.

Motoring offences – areas of specialism:

• Drink Driving / Over prescribed limit

• Death by dangerous driving

• Death by careless driving

• Driving whilst disqualified

• 12 points – totting up

• Speeding

• No Insurance

• Drug driving offences

• Dangerous Driving

• Failure to provide specimen

• Death whilst driving unlicensed

• Road rage incidents

• Careless Driving

• Disqualification

If you are being prosecuted for a motoring offence, it is essential to take informed legal advice from experts. Without proper advice and representation, the risk of losing your driving licence is much higher.

Our highly experienced team of solicitors have expertise in providing road traffic law advice for both individuals and companies defending the motorist in complex laws that drivers face on a daily basis here in the Scotland.

We are able to provide comprehensive advice and/or representation for any motoring allegation in Scotland and are happy to offer you free advice to discuss your options with you.
