Achieving Your Goals
I help you to achieve your goals, including:
- an acquittal - all charges dismissed
- saving your licence
- avoiding jail
- avoiding community work orders
- avoiding demerit points
- avoiding a conviction or criminal record
- avoiding Interlocks and other relicencing hassels
- reducing or eliminating fines
- reducing and managing any licence loss periods
- recovering your legal expenses from the prosecution
After
investigating your case I advise you whether defending the charges successfully
is a realistic option - often it is! We discuss the cost-benefits, and you then decide
whether or not you wish to go to trial, enter into negotiations or
plead guilty instead.
Often
it is not possible to save your licence unless you fight your case and
win. You will not find many lawyers who can offer that service. Most
"traffic lawyers" are "experts" in the simple task of pleading guilty. Their websites and
advice
focus solely on the consequences of pleading guilty and being convicted
- because they think
losing is inevitable. Either they don't know how to win a traffic case - or they don't
care. If you want to win your case you'll need a lawyer who is accustomed to
saying the words: "The defendant pleads not guilty".
Why
use a barrister?
I
am a barrister, not a solicitor.
Barristers typically spend most of
their time in court fighting cases.
Traditionally, barristers are engaged
by solicitors to appear in court on
behalf of clients. But in
prosecutions heard in the Magistrates
Court, barristers are now entitled to
appear for defendants without a
referral from a solicitor. Sometimes it
is easier and more economical to engage
an experienced barrister directly,
without having to engage a solicitor as
well. Many solicitors rely on my
expertise to help them provide their
clients with accurate, up-to-date and
strategic advice.
Before
you decide whether to handle your court
case yourself, understand that
95% of the cases I win because of
deficencies in the police case and legal technicalities. The other 5% of
cases that win rely on the defendant's evidence
being accepted by the court. If you
don't use a skilled lawyer you may be
throwing away 95% of your chance of
winning your case.
I
ensure all clients are pleased with the
service they get from me and from their
solicitors. In some circumstances I can
not act for clients without a referral
from a solicitor. To learn more about
