Reduce and Prevent Drink Driving Sentences

If you have been caught drink driving, then the chances are you will be facing an appearance in court. Drink driving offences are punishable by law and the driver could face a drink driving sentence of six months imprisonment, a five-thousand pound fine and a twelve month driving ban. However, if drink driving has caused the death of another then the suspected culprit could face up to fourteen years imprisonment and an unlimited fine.

If you have been caught drink driving then you will need legal representation from a drink driving solicitor who can reduce or eradicate drink driving sentences or drink driving convictions. Drink driving solicitors cannot guarantee acquittal from drink driving convictions, but if you believe you have a drink driving defence they can attempt to ensure you only receive lenient drink driving sentences.

Drink driving solicitors can help you with your drink driving defence and can help refute any drink driving convictions. Many people caught drink driving believe they have been wrongly accused, and if this is the case, drink driving solicitors can help with a drink driving defence by providing the appropriate facts or evidence.

When caught drink driving it cannot only ruin your personal life, but it can ruin your professional integrity, as someone who has been caught drink driving could ultimately lose their job. Also, as drink driving convictions will remain on a driving licence for eleven years it may be hard to find another job in a similar role as previous. While the criminal justice system may believe you are guilty, drink driving solicitors will attempt to prove the contrary.

If you have failed to provide a specimen for analysis, the police may have arrested you with failure to comply with the law and on suspicion of drink driving. If this is the case, we can use this in your drink driving defence as there will be no substantial evidence to prove you were caught drink driving. Drink driving solicitors will ultimately argue reasonable cause for your failure to comply with the specimen analysis. Therefore this could not only decrease your chances of facing drink driving sentences in prison, but it could help to eradicate your drink driving convictions. However, if you are given a criminal conviction due to your failure comply with a breath, blood or urine test then you could ultimately face six months imprisonment with a five-thousand pound fine and a twelve month ban.
