ROAD TRAFFIC DEFENCE FEES

Motoring Offences

Albright Kendrick’s criminal defence team can assist you with private motoring offence matters. The cost of a private motoring case varies depending on the offence, whether or not you wish to plead guilty or contest the allegations and go to trial.

Please find below a general guide to our fees for our representation in these cases:

Table of Fee

Offence	Guilty Plea	Trial
Speeding	£1,500	£5,000-£7,500
Using a mobile phone whilst driving	£1,500	£2,000-£7,000

Failure to stop (report accident)	£1,500	£2,000-£7,000

VAT is charged in addition at 20%.

The above fees are Albright Kendrick’s fees and they exclude any disbursements that may be applicable to your case such as counsel’s or expert’s or Court fees.

Hourly Rate Fee

Our hourly rates range from £150 to £450 plus VAT, depending on the seriousness and complexity of your case and the Solicitor or Fee Earner that is assigned to deal with your matter. We would advise you on the most suitable options following our initial consultation as this is assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Fixed Fee

We are able to offer a quote for a fixed fee for your case following an initial consultation with you. The fixed fee will cover all the costs included in your matter from the outset to trial, or to a sentencing hearing should you plead guilty.

Length of Proceedings

The duration of the matter will depend on whether you plead guilty or you wish to contest the allegations made against you at trial. The usual length of proceedings for a private motoring offence is three to six months. However, this could differ from case to case subject to the facts of each such case.

Disbursements

We will also deal with any third parties’ costs such as Counsel and expert who may be required to be instructed in your matter. These payments are disbursements and they are in addition to Albright Kendrick’s fees above. We will, of course, consult you on these costs as your case progresses and prior to incurring these costs.
