Hi

Can anyone recommend a good motoring solicitor who can provide advice on speeding related matters when still at the NIP stage?

It’s related to a company vehicle and the ins and outs of failing to nominate a driver etc.

Many thanks

Thanks, but need a solicitor at this stage rather than a barrister. AGT will be the go to if it goes to court.

I had a friend who used this lot, was happy with the advice, which in his case they would be nailed to a cross on it as the vehicle was allocated to a single user, they were very clear on where he stood.

I believe that AGT IS a solicitor, as well as a barrister.

I am not 100% certain - as sometimes the difference can be unclear. Worth checking

Barrister not a solicitor.

In straightforward cases (especially magistrates’ court cases) suitably qualified barristers may undertake so-called direct access cases. I.e. we are instructed without a solicitor.

If the case is complex (most but not all crown court cases) then you will need a solicitor and a barrister. I sometimes explain the different roles this way. Think of a motor racing team. The client supplies the parts, the solicitor builds the car and barrister drives the car.

Barristers generally focus on court work (litigation) and don’t want to get involved before court proceedings are commenced. There are exceptions of course - some barristers do 100% non-contentious work.

I’d also add that agtlaw was able to recommend a solicitor to me for a family member (which may or many not have been because I’m in his “manor” as it were); his advice was excellent, as was the solicitor - so much so that it entirely avoided the need to subsequently instruct agtlaw!

Agtlaw recommended somebody to me based on the specific details of my family member's case, and our location (needing to have somebody potentially represent said family member in person). I'm happy to PM you their details, but just caveat this with the above - the recommendation was specific, and might not be the right person for you and your needs smile
