Hi
Please can anyone recommend a solicitor who specialises in motoring offences? Not for me ;)
 They would prefer to use someone who has been recommended.

Thanks

    A rough hint as to location and severity would help.

    Depends on what the offence is and how much money your friend wants to throw at it?

    The offence could potentially result in disqualification.
    I don’t know their budget but, within reason, they will have to pay what it costs.

    If potential disqualification is the issue, tell me the circumstances and I'll give you an idea of the likelihood of disqualification. Might save your mate (quite)a few quid. I could also give you a view on whether a solicitor is likely to have any influence on the outcome. Contrary to popular belief (and what solicitors might tell you) there are some matters which most defendants can handle perfectly satisfactorily themselves and a solicitor is an unnecessary extravagance.
