If you’ve recently been arrested and charged with a drink driving offence in Croydon, we can help you. Driving under the influence of alcohol is a serious driving offence and will land you a day in Croydon Magistrates Court.
At M.A.J. Law, we’re often asked who the best drink driving solicitors are in Croydon, and we always put our name forward. Our team of specialist motoring offence solicitors can help save your driving licence or reduce your punishment, which could be a driving ban or penalty points.
Having supported hundreds of individuals in Croydon, we’re confident of handling your case, too.
We defend all drink driving allegations where the accused has measured over the legal limit for blood, breath or urine, and those who failed to provide a specimen.
Your first court appearance at Croydon Magistrates Court will, undoubtedly, cause you to worry and feel stressed, but we’re here to support you.
It’s extremely dangerous driving while under the influence of alcohol, but whatever your charge, we’re here to offer our expert services.
Our team of professional drink driving solicitors in Croydon are keen to discuss your options with you – completely free of charge.
Before we get started on your case, it’s important to know that you can still win in Croydon Magistrates Court even if you were over the legal alcohol limit. This is because several technical defences can apply in a drink driving case, be it relating to the roadside arrest, the prosecution disclosure, and the police procedure.
If mistakes have been made at any stage of the process, you shouldn’t be convicted.
Additionally, we must make you aware that we’re entitled to negotiate lesser charges when appropriate. We often secure ‘plea deals’ with the Criminal Prosecution Service (CPS) to ensure our clients can avoid a driving ban – but we cannot promise anything other than giving you our very best service.
So, what sort of penalties can you receive for a drink driving offence?
The UK motoring law dictates that a drink driving offence carries a mandatory driving disqualification between one and three years upwards, depending upon the seriousness of the offence.

We are currently the highest rated motoring defence firm in the UK. We would usually start by discussing your case over the phone (or in person if you’re local). Simply call and ask to speak to a solicitor. Our initial advice is free of charge and comes with no obligation. Once we’ve gained an understanding of your case, we can tell you whether you have a defence to the allegation (or a
special reason). Remember that a defence could be technical or procedural (you may not realise it’s a defence until we tell you). If we advise you to plead guilty, we can explain how to minimise the sentence imposed by the court. This sometimes involves negotiating with lower charges with the CPS.
