We have a hugely experienced admin team who can deal with all enquiries in the absence of any member of your defence team.

At Wessex Solicitors we have at your disposal years of experience in all types of cases. When you instruct Wessex Solicitors you will have a dedicated team appointed to your case including a supervising Solicitor and dedicated case worker and if necessary an independent Barrister and Forensic Expert.

Fees

We offer a fixed fee of £500 plus VAT for advice and representation on road traffic offences that are dealt with at a Magistrates Court and concluded at the first hearing.

This fee includes;

explaining the court procedure so you know what to expect at court and the sentencing options available.
considering the evidence including initial disclosure if available
taking your instructions
initial advice in relation to an appeal

Should you require additional services such as taking instructions from a witness, instructing any expert witnesses, these are of course available but at additional cost. Please note that travel to a non local court will incur additional fees.
