ABOUT US

 Auriga Advocates have over 60 years experience in road traffic law and registred with the SRA.

There is very little that we do not know about the tricks of the trade. Andrea, our CEO and senior solicitor has over 30 years experience prosecuting road traffic offences and was for many years a fatal road traffic specialist for the CPS.

She understands the prosecution procedures and failings better than most defence solicitors and can use the insight to your advantage. 

Our team are trained to the highest standards and, as a result, will give the best advice to help you defend your licence.

We have a vast experience of running trials from both the defence and prosecution view point so are able to identify the weaknesses in evidence, our extensive knowledge of road traffic law enables us to identify the issues in your case.

Why help you to represent yourself?

Most people facing minor offences who have an income of more than £13k per annum will not be eligible for legal aid.  They will face the dilemma of pleading guilty (although they do not think they may be guilty or may not know if there are or not), or pleading Not Guilty and going to trial.
Costs are a major factor in this decision.
Professional legal representation is expensive and out of reach of many so access to justice is severely restricted.
With this in mind Andrea decided to establish Auriga Academy. Whilst we offer very competitive representation fees, Andrea is aware it is still more than many can afford. So, she developed the next best thing.
 Auriga Academy.
