I’ve been arrested and want to know what I’m looking at

Hello, my name is***** hope you are well today. I am a qualified Solicitor, and I will be able to help you by providing you with an answer to your question today. I specialise in UK and Irish Law. I am not always online but rest assured if I do not respond immediately I will respond when I return.

Is there anything else you feel is relevant to your question or anything else you would like to add before we continue?

I see. Given your offences, and if you have no previous convictions for drink-driving-related offences and you have not been disqualified in the last two years, your sentence could range from a fine to six months in prison. This will largely depend on the concentration of alcohol in your body.

In most cases, your sentence may be increased if:

• You have a previous conviction for a similar offence
• You were drunk driving whilst on bail
• You have failed to comply with a current court order
• You were driving large or heavy goods or passenger service vehicle
• The road or weather conditions were poor
• You had passengers in your vehicle
• You were driving for hire
• There is evidence that you were driving to an unacceptable standard
• You were involved in an accident
• There was a high level of traffic or pedestrians in the area at the time you were driving

However, your sentence may be decreased if:

• You have no previous convictions
• You were driving in a genuine emergency that did not amount to special reasons
• You did not drive very far
• You have shown remorse
• You are of good character
• You are the sole or primary carer for dependant relatives

I can see you have requested a telephone call. Is this correct? 

Unfortunately, I'm not able to take calls at the moment, but the request will be open to other Experts to help you. I am however available and happy to continue chatting on the platform.

Yes, I understand. Your sentence may be reduced especially since you plead guilty to all of your offences.
