 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely delighted by my representation - David (Swingler) was extremely calming and reassuring during a very stressful couple of hours.  His coaching and guidance was exceptional (coming from someone who coaches for a living).   Fantastic all round (of course it helped that the outcome was as desired) !!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing firm, could not recommend enough, I used another firm prior but they were handling the case really badly that 5 months in I still had to get an extension for the first court date as we didn't have basic information ready like a back calculation. David managed to get it dismissed before the trial went ahead and saved me a lot of hassle.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A big thank you to Lucy at Pragma Law and Barrister, Andrew Thompson.  Their knowledge of the law and their tenacity, ensured my son was found not guilty of a serious driving offence.   He was always treated as an individual and communication with Lucy was excellent.  I would highly recommend Pragma Law’s services.

Thanks again,
Helen and Ben.

Driving Offence: Act Decisively With Specialist Advice

Early advice from specialist driving offence solicitors can significantly influence how your case progresses and the outcome. A police interview is often the first stage in a case that may lead to prosecution and magistrates’ court proceedings, so understanding the process and its implications from the outset is essential.

How Magistrates’ Court Cases Are Dealt With

Most serious motoring offences – including speeding, drink or drug driving, dangerous or careless driving, failing to provide driver details and driving without insurance – are dealt with in the magistrates’ court. Our motoring offence solicitors assess your position quickly, explain the likely process and help you prepare a clear, consistent approach to your case.

We manage the legal process from police interview and charging decisions through to plea, sentencing and any disqualification proceedings. If you have received a notice, requisition or other correspondence regarding a driving offence, contact us for a free, no‑obligation discussion about your case and the next steps.

Our Approach

We act in cases where court proceedings are underway or about to begin.

We assess the evidence and procedure early. We advise on pleas and strategy. Where there is an issue with the prosecution’s case, we address it. Where a guilty plea is unavoidable, we focus on limiting the impact through proper presentation to the court.

We explain clearly what is happening, what your options are and how the court is likely to deal with your case.

We regularly represent clients at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court and are familiar with how local driving offence cases are managed.

We also appear at nearby courts including Loughborough, Derby, Leicester, Lincoln and Sheffield. This allows us to act where your case is listed and advise with local context in mind.

Our office is in Suite 2, 7 The Ropewalk, Nottingham city centre, a short walk from Nottingham Magistrates’ Court at the Nottingham Justice Centre on Carrington Street. We regularly advise drivers from West Bridgford, Beeston, Arnold, Hucknall, Mansfield and the wider county.

Driving Offence FAQs

Do I need to go to the Magistrates' Court for a driving offence?

Not always, but many cases do require attendance, even if the papers suggest otherwise. This is usually the case where disqualification is being considered. We can advise you early on whether you need to attend and how your case is likely to proceed.

I have received a Single Justice Procedure Notice. What should I do?

This is part of the court process. How you respond to a Single Justice Procedure Notice can affect whether your case is decided on the papers or listed for a hearing. You should take advice before replying.

Will I lose my licence if my case goes to court?

That depends on the offence, your record and how the case is presented. In some cases a ban can be avoided or reduced. Early advice is important.

Can you represent me if my case is not at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court?

Yes. We are based in Nottingham but regularly appear at courts in surrounding counties and beyond, including Loughborough, Derby, Leicester, Lincoln and Sheffield.

How much does a driving offence solicitor in Nottingham cost?

We work on fixed fees, so you know the cost before you commit. Fees depend on the offence, whether you are pleading guilty or not guilty and how many hearings are involved. Our initial call is free and without obligation, and our full charges are set out on our costs page.

Do I need a motoring offence lawyer or can I represent myself?

You can represent yourself, but a motoring offence lawyer will check the prosecution evidence and procedure for defects, advise you on your plea, and present mitigation properly if you are pleading guilty. Where a driving ban is possible, representation is usually worth taking. Read more about whether you need a solicitor for court.
