MOTORING OFFENCES
How much does legal representation for motoring offences cost?
The below sets out the range of driving offences that our legal experts can defend for you, and an estimate of the costs involved.
Please note that all prices listed below will be subject to VAT, and these estimates do not include additional disbursements such as barristers or experts’ fees.
Each case falls on its own facts, and once we have established the facts of your individual case, we can give an indication of any additional costs that may be incurred so that you are aware of the cost up front.
