Frequently asked

Common questions.

A starting point only. Every matter is different. Book a chat and we will give you advice tailored to your circumstances.

It depends on the offence, your record and the circumstances. For some offences disqualification is mandatory, but a section 9C licence may be available.
Not necessarily. A guilty plea attracts a discount but only if the charge is right. We review the brief of evidence with you first.
Many minor matters can be dealt with without a conviction being recorded. We will advise you on the prospects of that in your case.
