All road traffic lawyers are not equal and defending dangerous driving charges is often classed as a difficult case to win for many lawyers. However, our long history on beating dangerous driving charges has earned us the reputation as being the go to dangerous driving defence lawyer in Glasgow and other cities throughout Scotland due to our amazing success rate of getting dangerous driving charges dropped or drastically reduced and saving the client from a possible prison sentence and saving their driving licence. Often the primary goal is for the client to avoid the 12 month driving licence disqualification and being forced to re-sit the driving test.

You will notice that they all kept their driving licence and in most cases, we won a Not Guilty verdict or had their case dropped on a technicality. To read the details of a particular dangerous driving case and how we defended it, simply click on the links below.
