Being good at many things is not the same as being expert at one. At Motor Defence Solicitors we are all qualified lawyers that have devoted all of our professional expertise to road traffic matters. Being able to concentrate our activities solely on one area of law means that we are able to keep up to date with any new developments in the law, current cases and techniques. A general lawyer may be able to advise you on the basic road traffic offences, but they may not be able to advise you on the finer details that are developing thick and fast in this area.
Without expert help you are unlikely to know if the police have properly served notice of an intended prosecution on you, complied with the requirements for using speed cameras or whether they have sufficient evidence to prove their case against you.
We do not make promises we cannot keep.
We provide clear & professional legal advice
In the last few years with the development of new Government initiatives many motorists find themselves at odds with the law.

Don't listen to the man down the pub. Pay no attention to his friend who 'got away with it.' Frankly, it is best that you receive expert advice as soon as possible. We can help you in any matter to do with road traffic law and we know how to get results. We will not help you dodge the law but we will defend you by using a combination of outstanding procedural knowledge and second to none levels of experience in this field.
