Established over 10 years ago, M.A.J. Law boasts a team of specialist London drink driving solicitors with unrivalled experience in defending individuals charged with controlling a vehicle while over the drink driving limit.
Our team of solicitors have first-hand knowledge of the UK drink driving law and of Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court, so we know what to expect when defending our clients, giving them the best possible chance of avoiding a driving ban.
If you have recently been charged with drink driving in Haringey, you’ll need legal representation to defend you in the Magistrates’ court.
Driving a vehicle while over the legal limit of alcohol is a criminal offence and can lead to a driving ban, penalty points on your driving licence, and potentially even imprisonment.
We have huge experience defending drink driving cases throughout Haringey and Greater London, and know how to navigate the legal complexities of the UK Road Traffic Act.
We defend drink driving cases where the accused individual has measured over the legal limit for breath, urine or blood, and for those failing to provide a specimen when requested by a police officer.
You’ll probably be stressed about your court hearing, but try not to worry, because you’ll have our experts by your side.
Drink driving is one of the most serious motoring offences you can commit, so it warrants punishment. However, even if you’ve been charged with drink driving in Haringey, you’re entitled to legal representation.
Our solicitors are keen to discuss your situation and figure out how we can help after you’ve been found drink driving in London.
Before looking at your case, you should know that you can still win in court and keep your driving licence even if you were over the legal limit of alcohol.
There are several technical defences we can apply to drink driving cases. These can be related to your roadside arrest, the prosecution disclosure and how the arresting police officer acted during and after your arrest.
If we discover mistakes throughout any stage, we will give you the best chance possible of avoiding a driving ban.
We can also negotiate lower drink driving charges when appropriate. We often secure ‘plea deals’ in which you plead guilty and avoid a driving ban.
However, we cannot promise anything when it comes to motoring offence cases. One thing we can guarantee is giving you our all to defend you in court.
UK motoring law dictates that a drink driving offence carries a mandatory driving disqualification between 12 months and three years upwards, depending on the severity of the offence.
As well as a ban from driving, you’ll also face a financial penalty, community service and possibly even imprisonment.
You are likely to go to prison if:
It’s important to understand that prison is always a ‘last resort’ for the court, but it doesn’t mean it’s not possible.
As reliable drink driving lawyers, we’re proud of our track record of keeping our clients out of prison.
