Specialist Road Traffic Solicitor Ruth Peters regularly appears in courts across England and Wales helping clients navigate the often-intimidating court process. Ruth frequently represents clients at risk of disqualification under the totting up provisions and has an outstanding success rate meaning that the majority of her clients can drive away from court with their licence intact. Ruth attributes this success to the extensive preparation undertaken in advance of every court appearance so that she is in a position to evidence all of a particular client’s individual circumstances.

Ruth has a particular specialism in defending alcohol related allegations. She has a detailed understanding of the various technical defences and legal loopholes available to clients and is able to scrutinise the prosecution evidence to establish exactly which defences are available in individual cases with a particular interest in drink drive cases involving the analysis of blood samples.
