Hey all, I have been lurking around for a week but feel ready to reach out now. I got caught a week ago and blew 97 at the roadside after crashing my car, no one was hurt luckily, and then at the station blew 79 and 95, so inconclusive, so I had to give bloods. I now have to wait 2-3 months to get to court. So some how I have to 'carry on as normal' until then and try and keep things together.
I panicked the day after and rang a specialist solicitor as I read about the potential prison sentence and so needed advice. I then agreed to pay £2K to have them represent me from now until court. I have not signed anything yet though. They said they would obtain all police records etc. I have now been reading this forum a lot and it looks as though I am just as well off using a duty solicitor maybe in my case. Any advice would be really good.
I am presuming my bloods will come back and put me in the HRO category, is that worth then having a separate solicitor rather than the duty, but a cheaper local one literally for the court appearance.
Thank you
