So many firms in today’s market claim to be motoring specialists and deciding whom to instruct to help you can be a challenging ordeal. You need to be confident in your representatives and know that you are receiving the best possible representation.
We know that there is an almost endless list of results on Google for drink driving solicitors who claim to specialise in motoring law, however, we often find that whilst firms may have experience in representing clients in such cases, they have a lot less experience when it comes to actually winning these cases and avoiding a conviction at trial.
With that in mind, we have decided to publish our statistics so you can see for yourself the impressive success rates we have sustained in alcohol related allegations (e.g. drink driving, failing to provide a specimen, drunk in charge, driving whilst unfit, drug driving).
At Olliers Motor Law, we are especially proud of the successes we have had in this area which we believe ranks us amongst the very best in the country.
Overall Success
During the past 3 years, Olliers Motor Law has enjoyed a success rate (as of 02/12/14) of 94% across all motoring cases relating to alcohol/drugs.
This is broken down as follows:
| Cases involving “excess alcohol” | 95% |
| Drink Driving (overall) | 92.9% |
| Failing to Provide a Specimen | 70% |
| Driving Whilst Unfit/Drug Driving | 100% |
Success in 2014
| Cases involving “excess alcohol” | 100% |
2014 saw us maintain our unblemished record first established in 2013 in respect of allegations involving “excess alcohol” (whether it was an allegation of drink driving, drunk in charge or cases where blood/urine have been taken – our clients were all found not guilty!).
In fact, our only losses this whole year came in cases where the defendant had been charged with failing to provide a specimen for analysis. Our success rate for this offence in 2014 was 50%.
Success in 2013
| Cases involving “excess alcohol” | 100% |
A fantastic year for Olliers Motor Law as we established a 100% success rate at avoiding a conviction in cases involving a sample that was above the prescribed limit. This means that in every single one of these cases, our client was found not guilty at trial.
Again, in 2013 our losses overall were minimal with only 2 being recorded against us (one of failing to provide a specimen and one of careless driving).
Success in 2012
| Cases involving “excess alcohol” | 88% |
| Drink Driving (blood sample) | 100% |
| Failing to Provide a Specimen | 86% |
