Having known of Brian Koffman for over 30 years, there was no one else I would have contacted with regards a "Totting up" ban. He was exceptional at his delivering of the exceptional hardship defence, the 6 month ban was overturned. He is worth every penny. I also say thanks to his PA Kate, she too is a very pleasant and professional lady. Thank you both. Tracy R. *Highly recommended.

If you are in need of a legal representative Mr Koffman & Co should be the first place to call. First class service Brian kept us up to date and informed throughout the whole horrible and traumatic experience that Manchester Police managed to serve us up out of nowhere.
Originally we were looking at a potential driving ban, a minimum sentence of community service, plus a fine and interviews with the traffic commissioner. On the day of the hearing the Crown Prosecution wanted all of the former, which would have meant the end of a driving career and the loss of livelihood.
On the eleventh hour and fifty nine minutes literally as we were walking into court, Brian managed to secure a deal with the prosecution which led the judge to serve up five points on the licence and a fine, all of the other charges were dropped.
Such a massive relief after nearly a year of worry and angst. If you need a solicitor that specialises in motoring offences Mr Koffman is the man you need, so ring him. I mean it ring him!

From my first meeting with Brain to the last he was compassionate and non-judgemental. Everything was explained and Brain provided me with all the information and prepared for every possible outcome, which made the whole process less stressful.
Thanks to Brains excellent representation, I won my case, keeping my licence and was rewarded £750 towards my costs.
Would highly recommend

Brian was exceptional in handling my case. Facing a serious motoring offence while dealing with mental health challenges, I found him to be compassionate and non-judgmental. He explained everything clearly and made the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Brian provided me with all the necessary information and options, empowering me to make the right decision. In court, his expertise and diligence shone through, and thanks to his strong representation, I achieved the best outcome I could have hoped for.

After a quick google search following a totting up penalty I spoke to Brian and was fairly confident straight away that I had made a good call. My case was thoroughly prepared, communication was what I needed, advice was sound and we had a successful result in court. Would recommend Brian to anyone in a similar situation.

I found Brian after a recommendation from another Solicitor.
Both himself & his assistant were both very helpful and very reactive to both phone calls & email.
I had no prior experience of attending court, however Brian made me feel at ease as to what to expect.
The case in which I was involved, was quite complex, however his professionalism and attention to detail made sure I received the best possible outcome.
I would recommend him to others

I won't go into too much detail but around 6 weeks ago due to an admin error I received a letter with 6 points and almost £1000 fine.
Results from this would have been:
Banned from driving
Loss of job
Loss of house
Wedding cancelled
Honeymoon cancelled
The results would have ruined my life.
One email and meeting with Brian and all this was sorted. Completely stress free and both him and his assistant were amazing.
Couldn't rate them high enough
Thank you.

Getting a notice of prosecution on Christmas Eve was not what I wanted. However, after emailing Brian the day after Boxing Day he called me straight away, completely above and beyond during the holiday period.
His knowledge is this area is amazing and the the advice he gave me put my mind at rest and made me hopeful that he could resolve the case without me receiving a ban.
Due to covid back log the case was very drawn out but the moment I heard from the courts, Brian was at the other end of the phone and he remembered my case every time, which shows a great personal touch. You wouldn’t get that with a large firm.
Brian managed to resolve the case with reduced points and I am extremely grateful for his help as a totting up ban would have been catastrophic for me.
He was brilliant during what has been a very stressful 8 months.

I approached Brian due to totting up points on my licence. Three more points could have resulted in me being disqualified from driving and as a Courier this would have cost me my Livelihood.
Brian decided that the best route to take would be to enter a plea of exceptional hardship. He explained everything clearly and guided me through the process whilst reducing the considerable stress I was under.
His efforts secured me the best possible outcome. Not only did I keep my licence, I also received the lowest possible fine.
I can't recommend Brian highly enough and would urge anyone in similar circumstances to contact Brian Koffman & Co Solicitors without hesitation.

I have just contacted Brian to get some advice regarding a motoring offence - as the website indicates they pride themselves on these cases.
It was my first experience of having a penalty of this nature and was looking to instruct a solicitor to gain some advice on the best steps.
He was incredibly blunt and rude. He compared my enquiry to the likes of a doctor seeing a patient with no knowledge of the symptoms? Despite me being on the phone to answer any questions regarding the offence in question.
Completely bizarre and rude, with him then hanging up on me.

I cannot thank Brian enough for the amount of commitment he put in to my case! He was able to explain the court process in simple terms, and I felt at ease knowing that someone so highly professional was dealing with my case. His advice resulted in the case being dropped and it ended in my favour. After my experience I would definitely recommend Brian, as he handled everything so efficiently. If anyone is looking for a motoring and criminal law solicitor that goes above and beyond, Brian is YOUR MAN!

I have recently had the pleasure of dealing with Brian regarding a motoring offence for a close friend of mine. Brian has been amazing throughout the whole process with regular and clear communication. Brian is professional and extremely knowledgeable in his field of expertise. Furthermore, and more importantly, Brian managed to get my friend the best possible outcome that we just didn’t think was possible. Hopefully, I never have to use Brian personally, however if I do commit a motoring offence, he will definitely be the man I call. I have already referred a family member of mine to Brian as I know he will be taken care of.
Brian, thank you once again for all your hard work which in turn gave us the best possible outcome.

HOW CAN WE HELP?
Few infractions hold as much weight as failing to comply with road signs, signals and traffic lights when concerning motoring offences—complying to these laws ensures road safety. Drivers ignoring these fundamental rules endangers lives and attracts tough legal consequences.
We understand the gravity of these charges and offer our expertise to guide you through the complex legal process. We invite you to engage with us, whether you are contesting a charge of seeking to mitigate its impact.

WHAT ARE TS10 & TS30 CONVICTIONS?
TS10 and TS30 convictions refer to specific violations under UK motoring law. A TS10 conviction involves failing to comply with traffic light signals, while a TS30 conviction is for failing to comply with other traffic signs.
Both offences indicate a breach of the expected road behaviour and can significantly impact your driving record and insurance premiums.
Offences under TS10 and TS30 range from running a red light to ignoring mandatory road signs like ‘No Entry’ or ‘One Way’ instructions; each violation indicates failing to adhere to the rules designed to protect all road users.
The distinction between TS10 and TS30 lies in the nature of the ignored signal or sign, with TS10 specifically addressing traffic lights and TS30 encompassing a broader category of road signage violations.
THE IMPORTANCE OF ROAD SIGNS AND SIGNALS
Road signs and signals are critical in maintaining order and safety on our roads. They provide clear instructions and information to drivers, helping to prevent accidents and ensure smooth traffic flow. These signs are crucial to road safety, from indicating speed limits to directing traffic at intersections.
Drivers must legally observe and comply with all road signs and signals. Ignorance or disregard of these signs can lead to accidents and attract severe penalties. Similarly, the Highway Authority must ensure that all road signs and signals are visible, correctly positioned and maintained under statutory requirements.
LEGAL DEFENCES FOR SIGN AND SIGNAL OFFENCES
Several defences can be considered if you face a TS10 or TS30 conviction. A common defence involves the improper maintenance or visibility of road signs where the Highway Authority has failed to meet statutory requirements. Similarly, if a traffic light is not correctly aligned or functioning, it can serve as a basis for defence.
Some defences might include a driver being acquitted because a ‘No Entry’ sign is obscured by foliage, making it invisible from a reasonable distance, or if a faulty traffic light does not adhere to timing regulations. Such cases highlight the importance of instructing expert legal defence to evaluate the circumstances surrounding the alleged offence.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN COURT
Facing a TS10 or TS30 conviction can be daunting. Understanding the legal process can alleviate some anxiety. Upon receiving a summons, you must decide whether to plead guilty or contest the charge. Pleading guilty typically results in a lighter penalty, while contesting requires presenting a robust defence.
