    You won't find many decent ones to do that.

    you wouldnt need a decent one for this case. just one to put his creative case across to the magistrate. most magistrates will respect the fact that your using a solicitor to defend a minor motoring offence instead of turning up yourself and trying to defend it.

    Make sure that you stress your clean licence, that its not your usual behaviour, you are extremely dissapointed in yourself and fully intend to make sure you do not reoffend. The stuff above isnt as relevant in pleading guilty but more for sentencing and tbh I doubt for this offence it will make much difference as it will be a minimal punishment.

    He could collect the kids using public transport, if not he will have to play on that.

    The fact he would lose his job is tuff, the courts will take the stance that his disqualification is his punishment. If he suffers then so be it.
