Highly recommend Auriga Advocates to anybody that wants to fight for their license and livelihood, I was unfortunate enough to gain a disqualification through unfortunate and extremely unfair circumstances, fortunately, though from the help of Lloyd, Andrea, and Richard who represented me in court I was able to regain my driving license and pride from a ban a year early putting an end to what has been an extremely tough time! Their tireless effort, professionalism, and persistence has paid off and has given me a chance to get on with my life in an extremely positive way, I can not thank them enough

Losing my licence would of meant losing my livelihood, my house, my car, everything that I own, it was not an option not to fight for my licence. From day one everything was explained to me, I had phone calls to update me on everything that

I recently spoke to Andrea about a criminal law matter on behalf of a family member who has been called as a witness. It wasn't a motoring offence, but Andrea was so helpful and knowledgable and I really appreciate her advice. If we need further help she would be the first person I would turn to.

Best solicitors ever i was charged with drug drive because i was banned in 2014 for drink drive it would of been a mandatory 3 years driving ban but thanks to the team at auriga advocates the case was thrown out of court and i got to keep my licence job ect. It just proves no matter how bad you think things are theres is still a lights at the end of the tunnel. The hole company kept me up to date with everything every step of the way and told me if i had a good case or not. If you ever find yourself in a bad situation like this then give these guys a call they will be your best hope hands down
