sentencing and mitigation

In some cases, there is simply no choice but to plead guilty.  In almost all cases, credit will be given by the court for entering a timely guilty plea.

For some drivers though, there is the risk of losing one’s licence and the consequences of that.

We commonly represent drivers facing the risk of a driving disqualification.  A lot can be done to improve one’s chances of avoiding a disqualification.
