Specialist Motoring Defence Lawyers
Our solicitors and barristers have substantial experience in representing motorists throughout the country for offences such as Drink Driving, Speeding, Exceptional Hardship Applications and very serious motoring offences such as Causing Death by Dagnerous Driving.
Our lawyers frequently attend and successfully defend motorists appearing before Oxford Magistrates’ Court and Oxford Crown Court.
Avoiding a Driving Ban in Oxfordshire
If you have been charged with a motoring offence, you should firstly contact one of our specialist solicitors to establish whether you need legal representation for your case. In certain circumstances you may not require representation, if our lawyers form the opinion that you do not require a lawyer for your driving offence, they will inform you from the outset.
If you have a defence, our lawyers will inform you and will recommend that you plead not guilty. We would prepare your case for Trial and provide you with the best chance of being found Not Guilty.
In other circumstances, you may require a solicitor to represent you at Court for your Sentence Hearing to ‘Mitigate’ on your behalf. This is so that you receive the lowest sentence possible. Our lawyers frequently represent clients before Oxford Magistrates’ Court. They have many years’ experience in convincing the Court to take into consideration personal mitigation, which can result in avoiding a Driving Ban.
If you already have 6 to 9 penalty points endorsed upon your driving licence and you are facing additional points for a further driving offence, our lawyers can be instructed to make a Special Reasons Argument or an Exceptional Hardship Argument in an attempt to avoid a Driving Ban.
Totting Up Offence Solicitors for Oxfordshire
A totting-up driving ban occurs when a motorist accumulates 12 or more penalty points upon their driving licence. As an example, a motorist may have 9 active penalty points on their driving licence and then the motorist commits a further offence such as speeding for which the Court may impose a further 3 penalty points, resulting in a total of 12 penalty points. Once a motorist accumulates 12 or more active penalty points, the Court will impose a totting-up ban (driving disqualification). This is sometimes referred to as a being a ‘totter’.
A totting-up ban can be avoided if an exceptional hardship application is accepted by the Court. An exceptional hardship application is more likely to be successful if it is assessed and advanced by a highly skilled and experienced motoring offence solicitor.

Personalised Service – We listen to your needs and take time to understand you as an individual so that we can provide you with high quality legal advice, which is tailored to your specific individual needs and circumstances.
Cost Clarity – We can act on your matter via an ‘agreed fee’ which means that our legal costs are set in stages with no hidden legal costs. We are transparent about our costs and if we are instructed on an ‘agreed fee’ our costs will be capped in stages and will not increase. We will also give you a good indication of the likely costs to see the entire matter to conclusion. This is advice we provide from the outset, so that our clients can appropriately budget for the legal costs to progress the case to trial.
Quick Response – We respond to your telephone calls, messages, letters and e-mails in a prompt and timely manner.

We ensure that our clients are kept well-informed every step of the way.
Legal Clarity – We explain the law, the best course of action to take and developments within the case in plain simple English and avoid using unnecessary legal language. Our lawyers understand that legal terminology can be complex and confusing therefore, when communicating with clients, we seek to be as simple and clear as possible with our clients.
Risk Advice – We make all our clients aware of any risks (including financial risks) in the case and recommend the best course of action to take to reduce risk. The risk advice also include advice on potential repercussions on your career or anticipated career.
Meetings in Person – The majority of our clients are located within the Midlands therefore, where appropriate our lawyers prefer to arrange meetings in person with clients, so that our lawyers can properly advise and consider the case in person with the client. Where possible, we aim to arrange meetings at the convenience of our clients.
Phone & Video Meetings
As we are a specialist law firm, we are frequently appointed to represent clients across the length and breath of England and Wales. Some of our clients are unable to attend our offices because they may live some distance away or they may have limited time and availability to meet with our lawyers in person at our offices, as a result we offer clients the option of a video or telephone meeting with one of our specialist lawyers. If you appoint us to represent you, as part of the case preparation, a meeting will be required and this meeting can take place as a video or telephone conference call. Some of our clients prefer this rather than meeting at our offices, as it eliminates their travelling time and can be done from the convenience of their home or place of work via video conferencing software such as Zoom or GoToMeeting. If you would like more information about having a telephone or video conference, please speak to one of our lawyers and they will be able to answer any questions you may have.
Exceptional Hardship:

Drink Driving:
Minimum Ban Imposed
Mr Singh appointed Kang & Co Solicitors to represent him at his sentence hearing and to mitigate on his behalf after he was charged with drink driving
Our Fees
We seek to be open and transparent with our clients from the outset and for that reason, where possible we prefer to work on an ‘agreed fee’ basis. This is a fee set from the outset, paid at the start of the case and covers the case up to a certain stage. For example, the Police Interview or the First Court Hearing.
The agreed fee up to the First Court Hearing differs from each case, as each case depends on its own facts. An agreed fee is always set at an appropriate level having considered the type of case and the time / work involved to prepare and advance the case. Our agreed fees typically start from £1,000 + VAT + disbursements.
This means that we would prepare the case and represent our client for the agreed fee, even if we spend more time than initially anticipated. As an example, we may estimate that 10 hours of time is required on a case and set an appropriate agreed fee. Other issues may arise resulting in us dedicating 13 hours of time to the case. As our client has entered an agreed fee arrangement, we would not charge for the additional 3 hours of time.

What Our Clients Say
After a minor incident I required some legal assistance and found Kang and Co online. I have had a truly exceptional experience and will recommend Manjinder Kang to all my friends and family. He provides a personal level of service and never talks at you but to you with clear and honest advice. In an uncertain situation it’s good to know you can rely on someone professional and competent with extensive expertise at really good value. I won’t hesitate to use Kang and Co in the future. H. Brown
I needed advice of a DVLA charge that I felt was unfair, so I went online and put in an enquiry. They called me back within the hour and gave me free advice over the phone. Very credible and honest solicitors to deal with! N. Richards
Kang & Co Solicitors are very efficient and punctual. They went out their way with their services. My friend recommended them, and I will indeed do the same. Excellent quality. Anything I didn’t understand was explained to me. They went out of their way with very short notice for the work I required. S. Singh
