Checked online at the best road traffic lawyers in central Scotland and Dominic showed up in the top 3. I was appealing for an early removal of a driving disqualification and due to Dominic's expertise it got accepted! only downside was the wait due to the pandemic but it was out with his hands.
would highly recommend and his reviews back this up!

I recently found myself in a very difficult road traffic offence situation and needing a lawyer, was unsure which firm to choose from the array on the internet. I came across the website for Dominic Sellar & Co, felt a genuineness there and immediately contacted Dominic. I have to say Dominic delivered exactly as it says on the tin and at a fixed fee price worth every penny. He was helpful to a fault, always replied promptly, made me feel as reassured as I could be, efficient, straight talking about my position, lots of energy, confident, and clearly knew how to work the law to best advantage

Professional, calm, realistic and reassuring is how I would describe Dominic. A first class traffic lawyer who reassured me during what was a stressful situation. Anything I was unsure or unaware of he explained in a calm and patient way guiding me through each step. In the end my case was dropped due to Dominics professional working practice. I would recommend him to anyone who required help with road traffic issues.

Excellent motor offences solicitor. Went to a great deal of trouble to present my careless driving case to the Fiscal resulting in case being dismissed. Would very highly recommend.
