Services
Drink Driving Defence
Specialist defence for Scottish drink driving charges combines technical knowledge of breathalyser procedures with strategic courtroom representation. Our solicitors challenge evidential accuracy and explore defences like the hipflask argument. With former prosecutors on our team, we leverage insider understanding of prosecution tactics to achieve dismissals or penalty reductions.
Speeding Offences
We challenge speed detection evidence through technical analysis of device calibration and procedural compliance. Our expertise in ACPO guidelines enables effective cross-examination of police evidence. We specialise in defending cases involving fixed cameras, hand-held devices, and mobile enforcement units across Scottish jurisdictions.
Mobile Phone Offences
Our solicitors contest mobile phone charges by scrutinising police witness credibility and device usage definitions. We obtain phone records to disprove allegations and challenge misinterpretations of 'interactive communication' requirements. Our courtroom experience ensures robust defence against escalating penalty points and fines.
Driving Disqualifications
We specialise in preventing and reducing driving bans through special reasons arguments and exceptional hardship claims. Our team handles early licence recovery applications and defends disqualification charges in sheriff and justice of the peace courts across Scotland.
Road Traffic Appeals
Our appeals service challenges harsh sentences or wrongful convictions through meticulous case re-examination. We coordinate with specialist advocates to present compelling arguments before higher courts, focusing on procedural irregularities and sentencing disproportionality in motoring cases.
