Richard Freeman was the Head of the Road Traffic Department of the biggest Criminal Law Firm in Scotland. His ability to get clients off based upon often obscure and even minor technicalities has become legendary. The media sometimes consult and interview Richard on various road traffic law matters as he is widely recognized as the Top Road Traffic Lawyer in Scotland.

In a bizarre twist, some of his clients include High Court Judges and high ranking police officers, who have witnessed Richard at work and then approach Richard for their personal representation when they have road traffic charges against them. They have seen what he can do pre-trial and at court to win cases even when the evidence looked very stacked against Richard's clients. Richard actually employs 2 former highly experienced Procurator Fiscals and their valuable experience and knowledge further streghthens his Law Firm immeasurably.

With almost an unparalleled success rate of 95%, over the years he has became dubbed as Mr Technicality. When asked about why he has such a staggering success rate, Richard says," My goal is to defend my client to the best of my ability, that is a responsibility I take very seriously and if it means burning the midnight oil and going over every minor detail of an arrest or checking that the police or procurator fiscal followed the legal procedures exactly, then that is what it takes. Many people think it is just about the actual arrest but I don't confine my research to just that aspect."

For instance recently, Richard Freeman was in the national papers again because after extensive research to defend a client from a speeding charge, he found that a council had not properly designated the speed limit on a road according to the proper procedures. Richard was able to prove that technically they could not enforce the speed limit and he won the case. It was very high profile because over the years, there will have been hundreds if not thousands of speeding cases on that road. This sent the council into a major panic to correct their mistake as it left the floodgates open for appeal to anyone previously convicted of speeding on that road. There are dozens of examples of this level of his tenacious out of the box creative thinking and that is why even experienced lawyers often seek his counsel.

For commercial drivers, keeping their licenses is even more paramount as their entire livelihood is often at stake as well as driving licence endorsements can send their insurance premiums sky rocketing. Richard has successfully defended so many commercial drivers that he caught the attention of FACTS Magazine, an informative magazine that many commercial drivers e.g. HGV drivers, bus drivers, Taxi drivers subscribe to for their monthly publication. Typical charges will be dangerous driving, speeding, careless driving and tachograph offences.
Richard's interview with Facts Magazine and other articles are on the Road Traffic Expert website.

Richard's advice:

NO MATTER HOW BAD YOUR SITUATION LOOKS, DO NOT GIVE UP!
I HAVE WON NUMEROUS CASES THAT SOME LAWYERS DECLARED AS A 'NO HOPE' CASE.
