The RTA team will make all efforts to prevent the case from going to Court. The key to this is early investigation of the circumstances that gave rise to the incident, presenting the defence case to the police in the strongest possible way, and inviting the CPS not to charge.

Should the matter proceed to court, we shall thoroughly analyse the Prosecution evidence and assemble as much defence evidence as possible. We will carry out any investigations required and fight the case fearlessly.

We shall explain to you every stage that your case will pass through, obtain the evidence and advise you on the strength and weaknesses of the prosecution case and inform you what choices you have, and advise you on what choice you should make.

We shall keep you informed of every hearing date and arrange only the best representation for you. Though our experience we have carefully selected experts and barristers who have demonstrated they are the best in the field to defend road traffic prosecutions. As a result, MTA’s criminal defence team have achieved a high rate of success.

If the only option is to plead guilty, we will focus all our attention on mitigation and endeavour to obtain the lowest sentence possible. We shall negotiate a Basis of Plea with the prosecution which fairly represents the facts, and put forward a plea of mitigation setting out the valid and convincing reasons as to why the court ought to view your case with some empathy, and take those reasons into account before sentencing you.

We shall obtain character references for you and put these before the court in advance of the hearing, laying the foundation for a positive result.

Securing an acquittal or putting forward a basis of plea may also assist any civil claim that may follow.

Our aim is to protect your interests and achieve the best possible result for you.
