London Drink Driving Solicitors
At Lewis Nedas Law, our motoring law solicitors have expertise in drink driving cases. We understand that a ban on your driving privileges and points on your licence can severely disrupt your professional and personal life. Our goal in these cases is to have your charge reduced or dismissed.
When arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you will immediately lose your driver’s licence. Depending on your driving history, how high your blood alcohol content was at the time of the arrest and other factors, you may be facing a variety of penalties.
Our motoring offence solicitors have wide experience successfully defending these cases. We are deeply familiar with all possible defences, and we will vigorously work to identify and pursue the best option to resolve your case successfully. We may be able to minimise the consequences of your drink driving charge by negotiating your participation in driver rehabilitation courses or community orders.
