Expert Defence for Road Traffic Offences.
We offer expert legal advice and representation for all road traffic and driving offences, with a strong track record of success across Justice of the Peace and Sheriff Courts in Scotland.
Our solicitors regularly defend clients in cases involving:
Speeding offences, including speed cameras and handheld devices
Drink or drug driving
Driving while using a mobile phone
Driving without insurance, licence, or MOT
Careless or dangerous driving
Totting-up cases where disqualification is likely
New driver offences and licence revocations
We understand how vital your driving licence is—to your family, your work, and your independence. Our aim is simple: to keep you on the road wherever possible. We present strong legal arguments and evidence to protect your licence, limit points imposed, or seek alternative outcomes such as short-term disqualifications under 56 days, which do not result in endorsement.
Whether you're a business owner, employee, professional driver, or private motorist, we tailor our service to your situation, always providing a dedicated and strategic defence.
We thoroughly review all evidence, including police reports, to advise on the best possible approach in your case—whether that’s seeking dismissal, minimising the penalty, or preparing for trial.
We also offer clear, cost-effective block fees for road traffic matters. This means you’ll know exactly what your case will cost from the outset—no hourly rates or hidden extras. This transparent approach offers real value and peace of mind.
If you’ve been charged, cited, or received a notice that could lead to penalty points or disqualification, act quickly. Early legal advice can make all the difference.
