Honest and trustworthy service

facing a very difficult situation of a lengthy ban Dominic managed to fight my corner which resulted in a more manageable short term ban. What I liked about Dominic was that he was very straight talking and was very honest. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Dangerous Driving - A9 Inverness

I was caught by an undercover car on a notorious part of the A9 just before Christmas at 97mph in a 70mph zone.

I thought this would equate to a wrap on the knuckles in court, but when the citation/summons arrived I was facing a charge of Dangerous Driving.

I contacted 5 motoring solicitors in Scotland, each of them quoting various amounts of money for varying levels of service. Upon contacting Dominic, he was not rushing me on the phone during the initial consultation and came across as well mannered, well-spoken and knowledgeable.

Dominic managed to dismiss the charge of Dangerous Driving to a reduced charge of Carless Driving and the speed from 97mph to 94mph. Given a tough Procurator Fiscal in an area notorious for bringing the hammer down on speeders (Inverness), I was most pleased.

On my day in court, Dominic greeted me with a strong handshake and was very confident in his demeanor. In the courtroom he had a good repore with the staff and presented my case clearly, I’d never seen a courtroom in my life and he gave enough guidance so I didn’t feel nervous.

After a very short run-through of the particulars, I received 5 points and a £300 fine. I saved my new job and untold amounts of grief that would come with losing it.

I feel that Dominic was worth every penny of what I spent, and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone else who is in need of representation.

Remember: you buy cheap, you buy twice. You get what you pay for with Dominic, I can’t thank him enough.

Dangerous driving lawyer Dominic Sellar

I was charged with dangerous driving. Dominic dealt with my case in a very professional manner and his rates were very reasonable in comparion to other lawyers I'd spoken to.
He ensured I kept my licence by expertly persuading the court that my driving was not dangerous . Highly recommend .

Reassuring, Professional and thorough

Before I found Dominic I approached another road traffic lawyer in the Glasgow area but found them smug & arrogant. As soon as I spoke to Dominic for that first time I knew we were in safe hands. My wife was caught driving without insurance but immediately Dominic advised us we had a good chance under a special reasons scenario to avoid points & a fine. He was right, we went to court and got the best possible outcome. A great guy to have on your side, thoroughly recommended.

Highly recommended!!

I was involved in a car accident back in April 2015 on the motorway. As a result I was taken to court for three days this month. I was accused of causing the accident through careless driving. However, my car must of had a mechanical fault as the gear box seemed faulty. I have had this dragging on for a year and 8 months!! If it wasn't for the support of Dominic, I would of really struggled. He kept me calm all the way through by listening to me and offering advice which he knew well. He was also happy to respond to questions that I had. He was happy to help if I had to phone or text him. He was always fair.Luckily I was found not guilty. I would highly recommend him and his company!!

Son speeding on M9

My son works in Gleneagles and needs his car to get to and from home.
He stupidly got caught doing and insane speed on the M9 and once he told me my first instinct was he was facing a driving ban.
My second was to find a good lawyer.

I was impressed with Dominic from the start, I explained my son has autism and had physical issues after being gravely ill with cancer (when younger) and really needed a car in order to be able to have any level of independence.
Dominic was incredibly empathetic and so helpful.
I cannot enthuse enough about my experience with this guy, most of my experiences with lawyers have left me very cynical of them.
However this is not one of these occasions.
Dominic took time at court to make sure my son understood everything he needed to know, even explaining where to sit when called to the court and when to stand and sit (which helped him so much).
And the most amazing bit is...
3 points and £150 fine which considering the speed my son was caught at anyone I have told has been amazed at this result.
Do yourself a favor...
Instead of putting up with awkward and soul destroying encounters with lawyers...speak to Dominic...even payment and invoicing was simple and hassle free.
I cannot enthuse about this man enough and would not hesitate to use him again!
As for my son...he has been warned to behave!

Highly Recommended!

Charged with careless driving and failing to stop and report, Dominic managed my case, advising me throughout, and ensured the prosecution accepted a not guilty plea at the intermediate diet to the more serious charges of failing to stop and report. He is a very approachable and straightforward guy. I suspect things would have been worse for me without his help and intervention. I'd recommend him without reservation for anyone facing prosecution for road traffic matters. Also worth checking home insurance policies as some of these may give cover for legal representation.

Insurance case result

I contacted a few lawyers but didn't think they knew their stuff and just wanted to charge a massive fee. When I spoke to Dominc I knew he was the right solicitor for the job. He immediacy talked through my options and gave me sound advise. The result was that I was acquiitted at the trai diet. I couldn't be happier and would definitely recommend Dominic for a road traffic case.

Very Assured Service

My friend was over from France and was involved in an accident. He was facing a charge of Dangerous Driving, for which he could have lost his licence. Dominic not only saved his licence, but saved him having to travel to Scotland for the case.

A very deserved result from a very honest and professional lawyer.

Thanks you very much.
