Motoring Offences
Most driving offences e.g careless driving, drink drive, no insurance, speeding will not attract legal aid and we can offer a package to pay for representation.
When a client appears in the Magistrates Court and because of means testing, do not qualify for legal aid we can represent them with reasonable fees at affordable hourly rates.
We undertake representation in motoring offences for example speeding ,driving without due care , driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and any other form of motoring breaches requiring an appearance in the Magistrates Court .We represent taxi drivers who are at risk of losing their license by reason of motoring offences they face.
We will charge a fee of £1,200 plus V.A.T. for a trial.
This will include the fees for a junior Barrister or one of our solicitors will appear. If you wish a more senior Barrister our fees will increase to cover the cost. As part of this fee we will interview you in our offices to discuss your case and prepare for the trial.
Our fees will further increase if we have to pay for an expert which could include photos, evidence for drink drive cases or in any case where we have to expend money on a person who will provide expert evidence from outside our practice.
The basic fee will only increase if the case is complicated by reason of your proposed defence or by the amount of paperwork forwarded by the prosecution. If this occurs, we will notify you in advance and charge at £180 per hour.
We will only consider a lower fee where the client’s income warrants such a reduction .We will reduce our fee to £950 plus V.A.T. (plus the additions stated above), in the case of a trial. By reducing our fee this will reduce the money available to instruct counsel which may mean a less experienced Barrister.
In respect of pleas of guilty we will charge the basic sum of £375 plus V.A.T. and again if a senior Barrister is required then higher fees will be incurred and if experts or extra work is required the total fees will increase.
