Bath law firm Stone King launches new traffic team

Bath law firm Stone King has set up a dedicated traffic team to defend local motorists and deal with an increase in drivers challenging prosecution. The new traffic team is made up of five experienced solicitors headed by Emma Haley, who is an expert in traffic law. Working alongside her is Andrew Banks, who specialises in transport law, and fellow team member Jonathan Lewis. Other members of the team include Celia Strathdee, who has 27 years’ legal experience, and Richard Kirby, a former court legal adviser. “The number of drivers who we have successfully defended continues to grow,” said Emma Haley. “Greater reliance on roadside technology by police has resulted in an increase in the number of people facing - and challenging - prosecution. We expect that this will rise still further if government plans for on-the-spot fines for careless driving are introduced. We have set up our own dedicated traffic law team in order to deal with this increase and ensure we continue to provide a first-class legal service to local motorists.”
