Should you be arrested and charged for driving with excess alcohol Levy and Co. Solicitors can advise you on all aspects of the investigation and the Court proceedings. Many people do not appreciate that there is a set procedure that must be followed by the police in the police station prior to charge.

There are certain cases whereby legal aid will not be available. For example, most road traffic law cases do not meet the merits to be able to obtain legal aid, even if a client is on benefits or a very low income.

We aim to discuss such cases with our clients to explain why legal aid will not be granted and assist them through the court rules and procedures. In these types of cases private funding can be arranged. Under some circumstances, we will liaise with insurance companies for funding, in a bid to release some pressure from clients

We are able to offer fixed fees for certain cases. To find out more, please contact us on 01376 511819!

The Magistrate’s court can often be an intimidating and daunting experience.

We strive to ensure that clients are kept as informed as possible about their case and will advise them before, during and after their court date.

We will consult with clients before their hearing and discuss the evidence against them. We will advise on plea, venue and the consequences of no plea, guilty plea and not guilty pleas entered at the magistrates’ court.

New Drivers are people who have passed their test within the previous 2 years. Many people think that if during this period, they receive 6 penalty points they will be disqualified. However, this is not entirely correct.

If 6 penalty points are reached during that 2-year period then the court in fact have no power to disqualify you. Instead, the court has a duty to notify the DVLA who will then usually revoke (or take away) your licence, meaning that you revert to the status of a provisional (or learner) driver.

Imposing penalty points, which could then result in you being reported to the DVLA is not the only option available to the court. There are other measures available which could result in you losing your licence albeit for a much shorter period of time. Please contact Levy and Co Solicitors in respect of this matter who will advise you further.
