What is AMOL
The Association of Motor Offence Lawyers Limited is a voluntary organisation founded in May 2007 by a group of solicitors specialising in defending motor offence cases. AMOL is a non-profit making organisation.
Motoring law is an extremely complex area of criminal law involving technical defences that only a true expert can successfully understand and argue before a court.
Many general criminal lawyers are capable of dealing with a very straight forward factual motoring defence but the vast majority of general criminal lawyers do not have the expertise to employ tactics and knowledge that AMOL accredited experts have gained through years of experience.
Our Mission
"To have as our members only the most expert independent solicitors who specialise in defending those prosecuted for motoring offences. Our members will provide expert advice and representation by deploying their vast knowledge and experience of road traffic law, whilst at all times ensuring the highest professional and ethical standards."
Why is AMOL so important?
It is important that the public have a clear way of recognising true expertise in motoring law and this is the ethos behind AMOL. Unfortunately, we have seen an explosion of firms of solicitors claiming expertise in this field of technical law, often with no discernible track record and sometimes peddling advice that could land a motorist in Prison with a dishonesty conviction.
AMOL has therefore been set up to protect the public in response to a growing number of instances where expertise has been claimed by lawyers who simply do not possess it.
All our members share the same core values of fearless but utterly honest Defence of the motorist. We are not a referral service, but professionals co-operating to raise standards across this complex area of law.
