Have you been Charged with an offence of Excess Alcohol?

​

If you have been charged with driving a motor vehicle with alcohol over the prescribed limit, you are advised to seek expert legal advice and representation at Court.

​

• The offence carries a mandatory period of disqualification of 12 months.

• The offence can attract a 6 month custodial sentence

• Depending on your reading you could face a community order

• You will face a longer period of disqualification if you have a relevant conviction within the last 10 years.

• It is a further offence to drive or be in charge of any motor vehicle whilst you are disqualified for which you could be sent to prison.

• The drink drive rehabilitation course can reduce your period of disqualification

Why instruct a Solicitor to represent you?

 

Often appearing in Court is a daunting prospect for members of the public. The thought of speaking in a public Court room in front of legal professions such as District Judges, Magistrates and lawyers can be scary, and many people ‘don’t know what to say’.

​

​

Our experts are familiar with the Magistrates Courts Sentencing Guidelines and the aggravating/mitigating features that are taken into account when the Court is considering the length of sentence to impose.
