National Motoring Lawyers: a practice dedicated to drink and drug driving cases

National Motoring Lawyers is a firm of solicitors of England and Wales that presents itself as one of the very few practices dealing with drink and drug driving related cases and nothing else. The firm operates under the trading name DDS (Drink Driving Solicitors) and is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority under number SRA499283.

Its stated specialism covers driving with excess alcohol, drunk in charge, failing to provide, driving under the influence and driving above the specified limit of drugs. The firm offers a free initial advice service, including weekends and bank holidays, with the option of having its legal team represent clients at court under fixed fees.

Case types handled

The firm organises its work around the following categories of offence, each with a dedicated section on its site:

• Breath samples
• Blood specimens
• Urine specimens
• Fail to provide cases
• Driving under the influence
• Drunk in charge
• Reducing the ban
• Drug driving

It also offers a tool called “Ask Dan the Ban Man”, through which a caller can ask by how much a driving ban might be reduced.

Free advice and fixed-fee representation

The firm describes a free telephone helpline available any day until 9pm, where a call of five to ten minutes answering a few questions about the case may, in its words, give the possibility of avoiding a criminal record and a driving ban. Beyond that initial advice, clients can instruct the legal team to represent them at court, with fixed fees presented as suited to every budget. The site lists four service levels: Bronze, Silver, Platinum and Gold (the last for trials only), with pricing directed to a separate fees page.

Success rate claims

According to the information published on the site, one lawyer has a 100% success rate with the firm over a three-year period and a 100% success rate for 2025 and 2026, with the figure updated on 18 August 2026. The firm also states that a sample of successful cases is available, illustrating the ways in which it says a favourable outcome can be secured. These are the firm's own representations and are reproduced here as such.

Practical information and contact

Postal enquiries are directed to the third floor of 51/52 Hamilton Square, Birkenhead, Wirral, CH41 5AS. The firm's VAT number is 795 3482 83. Full terms and conditions are provided with the welcome pack, and the firm states that its fees include VAT at the prevailing rate, with invoices separately identifying the amount charged.

The site also publishes a blog with posts on topics such as representation at the first hearing, what happens at that hearing, case studies with charges discontinued before trial, and the importance of requesting police video footage promptly.
