What happens if my case becomes more complicated?
If additional work becomes necessary, we will discuss this with you and explain any revised costs before proceeding.
Will I know the costs before I instruct you?
Yes. We provide a clear written quotation before any work begins.
What does your quotation include?
Your quotation explains exactly what legal work is covered, together with any anticipated additional costs.
Will complex cases cost more?
Cases involving multiple hearings, expert evidence or Crown Court proceedings generally require additional work.
Can I get legal aid?
Legal aid is only available in limited circumstances for motoring offences. We can advise whether you may qualify.
Are court fees included?
Court fees and other third-party expenses are separate from your solicitor's fees where applicable.
Can I obtain a fixed fee?
Many motoring offence matters can be handled on a fixed-fee basis. We'll explain your options during your consultation.
Are fees different for guilty and not guilty pleas?
Yes. Defending a contested case usually involves more preparation than representing a client entering a guilty plea.
Is it worth contesting a motoring charge?
Every case is different. We can advise whether contesting the allegation is likely to improve the outcome.
How much does it cost to defend a speeding offence?
The cost depends on whether you accept the allegation or require legal representation before the court.
