Penalty points disqualification
I need my license for my job and would be devastated to be banned for 6 months. I contacted Sunil at Kent traffic law as my researches suggested he specialises in this field and, subject to being booked for court, he would personally represent me at my hearing. I spoke to him initially and engaged his services. He arranged a meeting when we went through the facts of my case as well as the law and procedure at court. He was honest with me from the outset and told me I faced an uphill struggle. I very much appreciate the frank approach compared to those lawyers that simply tell you what you want to hear.as the hearing date approached Sunil was in touch to ensure I had everything up to date as per his advice. On the day of court he was actually waiting outside before the doors opened! This enabled us to have another conference inside the building to ensure I fully understood the planned Strategy. In court we were 1st as we signed in 1st.the court heard my case and retired to consider there findings. I new it was touch and go as loss of job is often insufficient to prove exceptional hardship, the court come back and told me I was keeping my license but was very very lucky. I feel sure that if Sunil had not put in 100 percent effort I would have ended up losing my license.
It’s very much worth engaging the best lawyer you can in this filed . In my view I found him,

You have accurately described the process from when you first rang me to when we were dealt with in court. I believe that continuity of advice and representation from start to finish helps ensure that the very best case is put forward. However, everyone who would lose his or her job if disqualified from driving for 6 months feels their case is one of 'hardship'. However, loss of job/business/employment is a very, very common consequence of a 6 month ban. The guidelines followed by the court draw attention to the fact that the 'hardship' must be 'exceptional'. This is often interpreted by the courts as meaning that loss of job is insufficient to amount to 'exceptional hardship' in most cases (as it is so common). In your case you were, to quote the court, 'very, very lucky' to leave court without a ban. I take the view that maximum effort in understanding a case, preparing it and presenting it will sometimes get a case over the line that would otherwise have failed. Thank you for your review.
