Why is it important to get legal advice?

Being charged with any sort of driving or traffic offence can be a daunting experience. It can mean a large fine, a loss of licence and even a criminal conviction. We understand that losing your licence is not just an inconvenience, it can also have far reaching consequences for you, your family and your livelihood.
