Expert legal representation for driving offences
With a deep knowledge of motoring law, our solicitors can successfully defend clients facing drink driving, speeding, and missing insurance charges. Our services extend to representing clients charged with more serious crimes, such as death by dangerous driving. We aim to represent clients to shine a light on your side of the story.
We can complete the paperwork for a special reasons application to put forward the argument that you are not entirely to blame for the incident in question. This defence is especially pertinent in drink driving cases where drinks may have been tampered with, or our clients have only driven short distances, or for urgent reasons. If you are looking for a solicitor who can create a successful outcome from your criminal motor offence case, contact our Newport branch at Martyn Prowel Gartsides solicitors today.
Our specialist services
By hiring a specialist criminal motor offence solicitor, you’ll receive legal advice from an expert who understands motoring law inside and out. This will present you with the most effective defence to help you avoid conviction or disqualification from driving.
We hold expertise surrounding a range of traffic offences, including the following:
- Speeding offences
Drivers who commit minor speeding offences are typically issued 3 points on their licence or the oppurtunity to attend a speed awareness course.
However, there are also cases when more serious actions are taken when evidence has been gathered of an extreme speeding offence.
At Martyn Prowler Gartsides solicitors, we have extensive experience in contesting these cases to prevent client conviction or disqualification from driving.
- Careless driving
Reckless or dangerous driving can be a severe offence, often resulting in extreme penalties, primarily where cases of dangerous driving have caused a death.
If you are facing charges of dangerous driving you must work alongside a trusted solicitor who will work to understand the case and all existing evidence. This is your best chance at creating the best possible outcome.
- Texting and other mobile phone offences
In recent decades, increased attention to the harmful consequences of using a mobile phone whilst driving has been integrated into the law. Following the accusation of using a mobile phone while driving, Martyn Prowel Gartsides Solicitors will endeavour to create a defence against the allegation.
- Drink driving
The consequences of drink driving can be severe in both the legal and motoring sense. Whilst drunk drivers are extremely dangerous to other road users, the penalties are equally severe.
If you believe you are eligible for special reasons exemption, we will work diligently alongside you to determine the reasons why your license should not be disqualified and that a conviction should not take place.
- Driving without a license
Driving is a criminal offence, if you haven’t passed a driving test or your license was disqualified for any reason in the past. If you are caught driving without a license or insurance, drivers are subject to hefty fines and often a ban when applying for a licence in the future.
Drivers accused of driving without a license should contact Martyn Prowel Gartsides solicitors. Our specialist solicitors will work to prevent clients from receivng the full penalty for their offence.
