We’re here to offer clear, straight-talking legal advice to help you understand your options.
Drink driving carries a mandatory driving disqualification and a financial penalty. Depending upon the circumstances of your case, you could even be sent to prison. Disqualifications range from 12 months to three years for a first time offender.
Please don’t feel pressured into pleading guilty. The ‘discount’ for an early guilty plea only applies to the punitive part of the sentence (i.e. the fine). This means you still receive the full disqualification even on a guilty plea! There are a number of different ways to avoid a drink driving ban. These are;
We’d be happy to explain each defence in more detail and can tell you in minutes if you could avoid a driving ban. Our team of drink driving solicitors regularly win drink driving cases on complex points of law and procedure, often misunderstand by the CPS.
Solicitors come in all shapes and sizes. Some are ‘cheap and cheerful’ whilst others are more expensive. We’re currently ranked as Number 1 in driving defence on the UK’s most popular review site for solicitors. We don’t claim to be the cheapest. If it’s cheap advice you’re looking for, we’re happy to direct you elsewhere. If it’s specialist advice and representation you need, please get in touch.
Yes. You will only be banned for drink driving if you’re convicted. We avoid convictions on an almost daily basis for our clients by identifying legal loopholes and technicalities (often relating to inaccurately completed paperwork or sloppy policing). The police often assume that a positive alcohol reading will always result in a conviction. This is fundamentally incorrect.
A drink driving conviction becomes spent after 5 years (Rehabilitation of Offenders Act). This means is does not have to be disclosed after that time. However, you will have a criminal conviction for the rest of your life.
Defending a drink driving case is easier than you think. A not-guilty plea will force the CPS to disclose the evidence against you within a set time frame. Due to unmanageable caseloads and short staffing, the CPS often fail to disclose evidence in time. When it is served, it’s usually incorrect or incomplete. A mistake like this could get your case dismissed.
A reputation built on results. We’re trusted by thousands of motorists and currently ranked Number 1 on the UK’s most popular Review Platform for solicitors.
Not cheap but you get what you pay for. Other solicitors told me to plead guilty because I “didn’t have a defence”. M.A.J Law were different. They analysed the situation and scrutinised the evidence. They were always polite and responsive. Highly recommend.
If you’re charged with drink driving then you will need specialist representation. These guys were on the ball throughout my case and managed to wipe the floor with the CPS. The prosecutor was left mumbling with embarrassment. Thank you to the whole team.
Five stars! M.A.J Law represented me on a DUI charge. A first I thought it was an clear-cut case and a mandatory ban, but my solicitor explained that it wasn’t that simple. Drink driving cases involve a lot of procedure, paperwork and red tape. It’s not all about the breath reading. Long story short they saved me licence and my job! Thank you!!
I couldn’t be happier with the outcome, and I would urge anyone in this position to contact this firm. They know this area of law like the back of their hand and there is no page unturned when it comes to gathering the evidence and arguing your case. Thanks again for all your help and support and making it all so easy and stress-free.
I initially spoke to Conor at M.A.J Law and then my case was handed over to James. I know solicitors are expensive, but I was in a desperate situation as I was facing a driving ban. Conor and James looked at the evidence and to my delight found that a police procedure hadn’t been carried out correctly so I couldn’t be charged. I hold my hands up that I made a silly mistake, which I will never do again, but thank you so much for supporting me through everything! Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Don’t panic! We will prepare your case for court, obtain the evidence and explain your options in detail. You may have a defence without realising and could be found not-guilty.
Not always. This offence can carry 10 penalty points. We may even be able to defend the charge if you were not going to drive whilst over the legal limit. Please get in touch and we’ll explain the process.
Failing to provide is often treated more seriously than drink driving and can carry an immediate custodial sentence. It’s important to understand the reason why you failed and whether this is a defence.
