Free Initial Advice
Don't wait until your court date — early advice makes all the difference.
Losing your licence can cost you everything.
For many people, a driving ban doesn't just mean losing the ability to drive — it means losing their job, their income, and their independence. A motoring conviction can happen to anyone. What matters is what you do next. Contact us before your hearing date — the earlier we get involved, the more we can do.
Charged with Drink or Drug Driving?
You may have more options than you think. We examine the procedure, the equipment, and the evidence — and where grounds exist, we challenge the charge.
Facing a Totting Up Ban?
Twelve points means an automatic disqualification — unless you can demonstrate Exceptional Hardship. We build and present the strongest possible case for you.
Disputing the Offence?
Special Reasons hearings allow the court to avoid disqualification in certain circumstances. We advise on whether your situation qualifies and represent you fully.
Facing a Serious Charge?
Death by dangerous driving and causing serious injury carry custodial sentences. These matters require immediate, specialist criminal defence alongside motoring expertise.
Motoring Law Services
Expert representation across all motoring offences — from penalty points through to the most serious driving charges.
Drink Driving
We examine the full procedure from roadside stop to breath test or blood sample. Where procedural errors exist, we challenge the evidence. We also advise on special reasons to avoid disqualification where appropriate.
Drug Driving
Drug driving cases involve roadside impairment tests and blood samples analysed against legal thresholds. We examine the evidence, challenge the procedure, and advise on all available defences including medical exceptions.
Exceptional Hardship
If you're facing disqualification through totting up to 12 points, you can argue Exceptional Hardship to avoid a ban. We assess whether your circumstances qualify, prepare the evidence, and present the strongest possible case to the court.
Special Reasons
A Special Reasons argument allows the court to avoid mandatory disqualification even where you are convicted. The circumstances must be directly connected to the offence. We advise on whether your situation qualifies and prepare a compelling case.
Penalty Points & Disqualifications
Whether you are disputing points, facing a totting up ban, or want to understand your options ahead of a court hearing, we provide clear advice and full representation. Don't go to court without speaking to us first.
Death by Dangerous Driving
The most serious motoring charge carries a custodial sentence of up to 14 years. These cases require specialist criminal defence. We provide expert advice from arrest through to trial and, if required, appeal.
Don't face court alone.

What Our Clients Say
32 verified reviews on ReviewSolicitors — all rated 5.0 out of 5.
"Couldn't recommend enough"
Honestly couldn't recommend Amanda Sheppard enough — the hours of hard work she put into our case meant we walked away with the best case scenario. From start to finish the communication was great. Couldn't fault her work.
"First class solicitor"
Amanda answered all my questions with great clarity and patience. She kept me informed every step of the way, which gave me great peace of mind. She was fantastic right through my case — and I would definitely recommend Amanda to anybody needing support.
"The best solicitor in the North West"
Peter Haney is the most professional and knowledgeable solicitor I have come across. He understands the case and has so much knowledge in the legal sector. He is always available when he says and literally has your back — which is what you need.
"Excellent service"
Despite Amanda having many other clients, it always felt that we were the only one due to the time she gave us. Amanda was always there, answering my many questions at all times — often going above and beyond. My son was supported, represented and given a future.
