How can we help?

You can count on our award-winning team to identify the right questions, provide the right answers and deliver the best solutions.

Here are just some examples of how we can provide you with our expert guidance:

• You can count on us to provide clear, candid advice as to whether you have reasonable legal grounds to seek removal of disqualification. For example, have you been of good behaviour since your original conviction? Is yours a case where restoration of your licence would allow you to take up an important job offer, or would relieve hardship to your family?   
• If you do wish to proceed, we can ensure that the process gets off to the best possible start by ensuring the written application which requires to be submitted to the court contains everything that needs to be said on your behalf.

• Ultimately, at court, you can then rely on our expert solicitors to present and argue your case to the fullest, all to give you the best possible chance of success.

What are the costs?

Firstly, given the importance of you finding exactly the right lawyer to protect your driving licence, we have the confidence to provide every client with a first, diagnostic consultation, free of charge.

Thereafter, depending upon your financial position and the nature of your case, it may be possible for us to represent you under the Scottish Legal Aid scheme. If, however, Legal Aid is not available or appropriate in your case, whilst any fee chargeable thereafter will depend upon the complexity of your case, we are always happy to provide you with the certainty of a fee agreed in advance, and, if you prefer, usually the reassurance of a fixed fee arrangement, rather than fees based upon each item of work.

Equally, if you have a motor insurance policy or house insurance policy which provides you with cover for the legal costs of a motoring case in Scotland, we would always be content to discuss acting for you on this basis. If you are in any doubt as to the terms of cover under any such insurance policy, again, we would be happy to examine the terms of the policy at your first free consultation.
