A motoring offence can have consequences that go far beyond a fine. 🚗

For some people, their driving licence is essential for their work, family responsibilities and everyday life. Facing an allegation can therefore be a worrying experience.

Garrisons Legal provides specialist advice and representation across motoring matters, taking the time to understand the circumstances of each individual case.

If you're facing a road traffic allegation and are unsure of your options, our team can provide clear advice on the way forward.

What is POCA, and when might it apply? ⚖️

The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 covers a range of powers relating to assets and money connected with criminal conduct.

Proceedings under POCA can be complex, particularly where confiscation, restraint orders or detailed financial investigations are involved.

At Garrisons Legal, we provide specialist advice and representation in Proceeds of Crime matters, helping clients understand the proceedings they are facing and their legal position.

If you require advice regarding a POCA matter, speak to our team in confidence.

Theft, robbery and burglary – what’s the difference? ⚖️

Although these offences all fall under the Theft Act 1968, there are important legal differences between them, from the circumstances surrounding the alleged offence to the potential consequences if convicted.

Our graphic breaks down some of the key distinctions between theft, robbery and burglary.

At Garrisons Legal, we have experience dealing with offences under the Theft Act and understand that every case has its own circumstances.

If you are under investigation or facing an allegation, getting specialist legal advice can help you understand your position and the next steps.

MYTH: If a witness changes their statement, the case will automatically be dropped.

Not necessarily.

A witness changing or withdrawing a statement may affect a case, but it does not automatically mean proceedings will come to an end.

The overall evidence available will need to be considered. Depending on the circumstances, this could include other witness evidence, CCTV, digital communications, forensic evidence or other material relevant to the allegations.

The impact of a changed statement therefore depends on the individual circumstances and the wider evidential picture.

When you're involved in criminal proceedings, it's important to seek advice about your specific situation rather than relying on common assumptions about how the law works.

Criminal proceedings don't necessarily finish when the main case concludes.

Depending on the circumstances, further proceedings may follow, including confiscation proceedings under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA), appeals, regulatory action or professional disciplinary proceedings.

These can raise entirely different legal and financial considerations from those involved in the original case.

This is why specialist advice can remain important throughout the entire legal journey, not simply during a trial.

Garrisons Legal provides advice and representation across a wide range of criminal and related proceedings.

How much of what we think we know about criminal law actually comes from television?

There are plenty of misconceptions surrounding the criminal justice system.

❌ Every criminal case goes to trial.

❌ One piece of evidence determines the outcome.

❌ You only need legal advice once you're in court.

❌ Every investigation is resolved quickly.

In reality, criminal cases can be complex and the circumstances surrounding each one are different. Evidence must be considered as a whole, proceedings can take different routes and legal advice can be important long before a case reaches a courtroom.

When it comes to your own circumstances, don't rely on assumptions. Seek advice specific to your situation.

What happens in the courtroom is only one part of effective criminal defence.

Long before a hearing takes place, significant work can go into understanding the case, examining evidence, reviewing witness statements, analysing disclosure and considering the legal arguments available.

No two cases are identical, and sometimes it is the smallest detail that can prove significant.

At Garrisons Legal, thorough preparation is central to the way we approach our work. We take the time to understand the circumstances of each matter and ensure our clients receive considered, informed advice throughout.
