Totting up - exceptional hardship case
I had need to use Motor Lawyers due to a totting up issue recently. I will be honest, I did hesitate at first as many people said to me, you cannot argue a ban but I took advantage of the initial call and very glad I did too. Alan Jones was extremely nice, very supportive and some excellent advice. He took down all the details and my history of driving and all of my circumstances and felt I had enough to go with a case for exceptional hardship. He gave me advice on how to prepare, what documents I needed to provide, where to focus on the exceptional hardship and, he advised on case prep such as attending court. He also gave me some great advise on improving my driving and to look at taking an advanced course. All of this was excellent. Everything was done via email except the calls with Alan. Everything was dealt with on the same day and when I needed an answer it was replied to straight away. I took the decision to move forward with Motor Lawyers and I did not regret it. They arranged counsel for me and the counsel was extremely well briefed. I had time with them before the court and they put me at ease. It felt like I had a virtual hand holding whilst in court - honestly it did. About a week before I lost it a bit on the call with Alan who calmed me down and put everything in perspective. As someone who didn't even get lines at school, and a good few years on this really was probably the worst thing ever happened to me. I am so so glad I trusted my gut to go with Motor Lawyers. Just as an aside too - they gave advice on what documents to take to court which really helped me feel confident and advise on how to complete the earnings form for court fees.
