We boast a team of specialist motoring offence solicitors and have been defending drink driving offences in London for more than 10 years.
Our team of highly qualified solicitors are experienced in defending individuals at Willesden Magistrates Court, so we know what to expect when representing clients.
If you have been charged with dangerous driving as a result of being over the legal alcohol limit, and your driving licence is in jeopardy, you’ll need expert legal representation.
Driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol is a serious driving offence in the UK and carries several punishments, including penalty points, a driving ban, a fine, and even a potential prison sentence.
At M.A.J. Law, we’ve defended hundreds of clients in London, so we understand the complexities of the UK Road Traffic Act. As your criminal defence solicitors in Brent, we can offer you an expert-level defence in a Magistrates Court hearing over your careless driving.
Your first court appearance will undoubtedly cause you some stress and anxiety, but try not to worry. We’re vastly experienced solicitors, and we’re here to help you avoid a drink driving ban.
Drink driving is a major motoring offence, but whatever your charge, you can put your trust in us as your motoring offence solicitors in Brent.
Our highly qualified and reliable drink driving solicitors are keen to discuss your situation, completely free of charge.
Before we can look into your case and the level of charges against you, you should know that it’s still possible to win your case even if you’re over the legal limit of alcohol.
This is possible because several technical defences can apply to drink driving charges. It could be an issue with the roadside arrest, the prosecution disclosure or the procedure followed within the police station after your arrest.
If we’ve found that key mistakes have been made at any stage of the process, you could avoid a drink driving conviction.
We should also inform you that we’re entitled to negotiate lesser charges when appropriate. We can secure ‘plea deals’ with the Criminal Prosecution Service (CPS) in which you plead guilty but may avoid losing your driving licence.
However, despite giving you our best level of service, we cannot promise anything in terms of the number of penalty points or fines.
A drink driving offence carries several different types of punishments. All drink driving offences in the UK receive a mandatory driving ban, which can last between 12 months and 3 years, depending on the severity of the charges.
A drink driving motoring offence can also lead to community service, fines and time served in prison. The likelihood of receiving a prison term depends on the level of dangerous driving, how intoxicated the driver was, any previous convictions and if the driver is charged with multiple offences.
In some cases, we can prevent you from losing your driving licence, but there must be serious mitigating circumstances for this to occur.
As drink driving is such a serious driving offence, a conviction can have lasting effects on your life – both personal and professional.
As well as a criminal conviction, you can also experience other issues, such as:
