It is inevitable that at some point you will need the services of a solicitor, perhaps a motoring offence solicitor. In all cases, there are a few simple things to remember:-
1. When you first call a solicitor always have the details of your alleged offence or query to hand e.g. date of alleged offence, background to the alleged offence and dates of any future Court hearings;
2. Many solicitors, including ourselves, will offer a free initial telephone consultation following receipt of the necessary paperwork;
3. If we are instructed to represent you in relation to Court hearings and you are concerned about fees, it is imperative that you let your motoring offence solicitor know – we may be able to arrange a payment plan to suit you;
4. We will ask you to send to us any relevant papers that you have e.g. notice of Intended Prosecution, charge sheet, court summons or any other correspondence relating to your case;
5. You should provide us with details of any points on your licence or previous convictions as these will be relevant to the penalty that could be imposed if convicted of a motoring offence;
6. It’s a two way relationship. We will always keep you up to date with your case and if any of your circumstances change, please inform us immediately;
7. Do not hesitate to contact your solicitor at any time by e-mail or phone – we are here to answer your queries and, wherever possible, give you peace of mind;
8. If facing a potential driving disqualification, be prepared to be asked some personal questions about your health, income and domestic circumstances.
