What Does O'Neill Defence Do?

Every case is different, and we look closely at the details before we advise you. 

There are several ways we may be able to challenge a drink driving charge, including: 

  • Faulty or poorly calibrated breathalyser equipment 
  • Incorrect police procedure during the stop or arrest 
  • The hip flask defence — if you drank alcohol after driving, not before 
  • Duress or emergency circumstances that led to you driving 

Even where a full defence is not possible, we work hard to reduce the impact of any penalty — including fighting to keep you on the road where possible

Frequently Asked Questions

You will be required to attend court, where the case will be heard by a sheriff or jury depending on how serious the charge is. Having a solicitor on your side from the very start means you are properly prepared and not facing this alone.

Yes. If you acted to protect yourself or someone else, self-defence is a valid legal argument. We look carefully at the facts of your case to see whether this applies and how to present it clearly in court.

Common assault usually involves minor or threatened harm, while serious assault involves more significant injury or use of a weapon. The penalties are very different, and having the right legal representation matters a great deal regardless of the charge level.

This is exactly why early legal advice is so important, the sooner we get involved, the better your chances of avoiding a conviction or reducing the outcome. 

Straight away. If you have just been arrested, charged, or called in for questioning, call us now and we will start helping you immediately.
