We have extensive experience of representing clients accused of motoring offences and we charge competitive fees for this service, where Legal Aid is not available.
Our fees will depend on whether you are pleading Guilty or Not Guilty and the number of hearings involved. The work involved typically includes
· considering evidence
· providing advice
· discussing with you any exceptional circumstances or special reasons which be explained to the court
· representation at a single hearing
Example fee if pleading guilty, based on two hours’ preparation (meeting with you, considering evidence, advising and taking your instructions) and representing you in court at a single hearing – £420 (our fee of £350 plus £70 VAT*).
Example fee if pleading not-guilty, based on half a day of preparation (meeting you, considering evidence, advising and taking your instructions), and representing you in court at a single hearing – £870 (our fee of £700 plus £140 VAT*).
Examples of things that may increase the fee include interviewing and taking statements from any witnesses, instructing any experts needed or representing you at a “Special Reasons” hearing.
