If you are accused of a road traffic offence, it is crucial to seek legal advice promptly.

Driving Company Vehicle Without Name on Vehicle Insurance Policy I am an business owner. One of our guys have driven our company van but he has been caught in a police road check. He didn't know his name not in this insurance policy and he was not in a position to manage any vehicle insurance policy for our company vehicles. We have consulted Gorvins LLP for this situation. The firm has arranged Amanda to follow our case. She has listened and discussed our case in patience and analyzed our case in details. She has identified that the police has not considered our situation thoroughly. She has discussed reasonable defences with us and explained the legal procedure to us. My guy and I are not English native speaker. Amanda could manage to explain her legal point of view in a clear and precise manner without too much difficult legal terms. She could manage our case in a timely manner and guide us through the whole process. Finally the prosecution has offered no evidence and the case against my guy was dismissed. My guy and I have really appreciated Amanda team effort to help us for our case.

Very professional, attention to detail, successful outcome, pleasant people, Amanda did a great job and her team worked together. For me, it was nice to be listened to, and easy to understand - 5 Stars.

Amanda McIntosh at Gorvins, Stockport I required the best motoring solicitor for a speeding matter that has a discretionary disqualification. from the outset Amanda McIntosh | Associate Crime and Regulatory gave me suitable and reassuring advice concerning the matter and a pre requisite was put a sum of money on file before the process started. I was treated with the utmost respect and courtesy and was sent a composite file of the single justice procedure. It's important to remember that the advice given is based on the facts as they are and the retrospective outcome is not always guaranteed. Trust was achieved with Amanda and as a result - no disqualification plus a fine for speeding but a big lesson was learnt. A professional friend/confidence in a firm of solicitors was gained. good work Amanda and also Gorvins Solicitors (keep hold of this one) very happy with the result. Lee

I was driving from Oxford back to Manchester, admittedly too quickly. I received two speeding charges, one for 100mph and the other for 101mph. I spoke to a number of a law firms who weren’t able to provide a real plan of action which lead to confusion as to where my position would end. Eventually, I was referred to Paul who outlined all the possibilities and ultimately filled me with the confidence I needed to instruct him and his firm. Paul dealt with the matter hands on from start to finish and allowed me focus on my life without worrying as he ensured me that he had the case under control. In the end, I received 6 points and no ban - a result over and above what I initially anticipated. I’d recommend Paul and his firm, they know what they’re doing and will simply get the job done. They put their self your shoes and offer the exact support you could want during a time of need. Thank you to Paul and your team. Hopefully, I won’t have to need such a service in the future but if I do, I know where to turn.
