The key stages
If you need to speak to a solicitor at Jacksons Law Firm about a motoring office we will:
- Meet with you at our office to take instructions on what happened
- Consider prosecution disclosure, and any other evidence
- Explain the court procedure to you so you know exactly what to expect on the day of your hearing, and the sentencing options available to the court
- Conduct any further preparatory work, obtain further instructions from you, if necessary, and answer any follow-up queries you have
- Attend court on the day and meet with you beforehand
- Discuss the outcome of the case with you and advise on any appeal
We are unable to provide a precise time your hearing will take place, as this depends on the court listing for that day. However, we anticipate being at court for half a day
The key stages are based on the presumption that you are minded to plead guilty to the offense and have a date for your hearing.
