Free Legal Advice

By Johann Ken Flanders

When you get inadvertently caught by either a camera or the police committing a traffic offence, it is essential that you get the best professional advice as soon as possible. The issue many people have with this is that in order to get the best advice, a lot of the time you will have to pay a consultation fee.

This doesn't have to be the case as there is a lot of high quality, free information available online. Occasionally we all find that we have strayed over the speed limit and with the busy world of today, it can be difficult not too as many people have a lot on their minds. It is not uncommon for people to commit minor offences through a momentary lapse of concentration and then be faced with points on their licence, fines or even a driving ban.

When accused, you will either want to plead guilty if you accept that you have committed the offence, or defend your case if you do not. Unless you know the ins and outs of motoring law extremely well, you will need to seek professional advice as if all of the correct procedures are not precisely met; a case can be thrown out of court.

When seeking legal advice, it will be most beneficial to seek out a specialist in the field so that you don't end up with a divorce specialist defending you about a road offence. The really good solicitors will most of the time end up covering most of their own fees in fines savings and prevention of general inconvenience. Each case will differ obviously, but in most cases a good solicitor will be able to sway the outcome in your favour.

The important thing, when accused of a traffic offence is not to stick your head in the sand, which will only make things worse. If you are proactive about the accusation process then you will stand a far better chance of changing the outcome. Acting as early as possible will give you solicitor maximum chance to achieve the results you want. Even if you are going to represent yourself, it is always best to seek free professional advice to be as prepared as possible entering the court.

A courtroom can be an intimidating place so by going in fully prepared you will give yourself the right ammunition to defend yourself effectively. Alternatively, you can seek out the free advice and then decide that it would be best to get a professional to represent you.
