Most people in Ireland who come into contact with the Gardai and the criminal justice system do so through prosecutions under road traffic legislation. At Green & Associates, we understand the importance of expert advice and representation to our clients when faced with a road traffic offence. We have an experienced Road Traffic Department dealing with all kinds of prosecutions against road users.

Road traffic matters that may appear simple can be complex, and our experts will help you understand your legal position and that the courts deal with you favourably.

We are experts in dealing with all manner of road traffic issues, including:

• Drink Driving (including Drug Driving and failure to provide a sample);
• Dangerous and Careless Driving;
• Speeding and other penalty point offences;
• Regulatory offences such as failure to have insurance/NCT/driving licence/motor tax;
• HGV/PSV offences;
• Applications to restore driving licences.

Whether you are accused of impaired driving (ranging from failing to stop, careless driving to dangerous driving) or alcohol and drugs related offences (such as driving whilst unfit, driving with excess alcohol, or failing to supply a specimen for analysis), our lawyers can make the difference between you losing or keeping your driving licence.

• Dealing with the loss of remission and breaches of prison discipline;
• Personal injury actions arising from mistreatment or negligence in custody;

If you are asked to attend a Garda station it is vital that you obtain legal advice before deciding how best to deal with the request. You have rights, entitlements and obligations on such situations and you must know as much as possible in advance. Please call us for a consultation and we will be happy to advise you. Green & Asscoaites  have a wealth of experience in Criminal law and can advise you on all aspects of Garda station attendance.

If instead,  you are arrested and brought to a Garda station, please ask the Gardai to call us as soon as you arrive at the station. Again, it is extremely important that you have full legal advice in advance of any interview that may take place.
