Operators Licence Offences(LC20 Conviction) & Traffic Commissioner Appeals
The DVSA (The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) is the regulatory body for operator licences and local Traffic Commissioners are responsible for HGV and PSV operators licensing and have the power to issue and revoke licences.
Anyone who drives a public service vehicle (PSV) or a heavy goods vehicle (HGV) for any type of business must hold a valid operator's licence. If you or your employer do not hold a valid operator's licence the vehicle could be impounded and scrapped after 21 days unless an appeal is made to the Traffic Commissioner. To make an appeal you need to be able to prove:
The vehicle was being used illegally without the owners knowledge
Prove that the vehicle was seized incorrectly. For example, you or your employer actually had an operator's licence when it was seized
The vehicle was exempt from operator licensing when it was impounded
Often operators fail to adhere to the conditions which are attached to their licence and by not doing so are committing an offence. It is also a serious offence to alter, forge, use or lend an operator's licence with the intent to deceive. The maximum penalty for this type of serious offence is an unlimited fine and 2 years in prison.
Operator licence offences can be very complex which is why you should seek legal advice if you are under investigation or being prosecuted. Brian Koffman & Co has years of experience and a high success rate in cases like these and can maximise your chances of getting a positive result.
If you have been charged with an operator licence offence you will need the knowledge, expertise and support of a solicitor who understands and can help. Please contact Brian Koffman & Co on 0161 832 3852 or submit an enquiry and we will call you back.

Thank you for successfully representing me in relation to my excess alcohol trial.
This was a matter of huge importance to me.
I am very grateful to you for the way in which you prepared and conducted the case.
A conviction for me would have been devastating and the professional way in which you dealt with the case made all the difference.

I have now had a couple of days to calm down after the events of Wednesday and had a little time to reflect. I just wanted to drop you a line to say how grateful my wife and i are for the magnificent role you played in my case. Throughout the past month you have not only been a great source of advice, but a pleasure to deal with and a calming influence on several occasions. We were hugely impressed by the way you dealt with the prosecution on Wednesday and your manner in the courtroom. I have absolutely no doubt that I would not be driving to work today if it wasn't for your professionalism and judgement in dealing with our plight.
In spite of the very trying circumstances it has been a pleasure meeting you and once again I thank you for all your help.
Chris Fretwell. Cheshire
Writing a testimonial for Brian is probably one of the easiest things I could ever do! We first met in 1990 when I got drawn into a little bit of trouble. I hasten to add that I was innocent and in due course Brian handled my problem efficiently with the minimum of fuss and I was very happy with the outcome. Since then I have unfortunately had to use Brian for a combination of motoring offences, some I was guilty of and some not. Brian has always been helpful to the nth degree, always giving every job the importance it deserves. I have recommended many people to Brian over the years because he is very good (great even!!) at what he does and I know that the friendship,professionalism, diligence and discretion he has shown me over the years, he shows to every client.

Many thanks indeed for all your work in achieving the outcome of Nik's court case last week.

I would just like to say it was excellent to have yourself representing me. Everything was very smooth-running from the initial contact I made with you. You were very honest throughout and always kept me informed from the beginning in terms of the outcome of the case. You also reassured me on many occasions with any concerns and worries that I had. There was an outstanding amount of professionalism throughout our conversations and I felt very comfortable speaking to yourself around the issues that I was facing and I feel that it's very important that you have that relationship with your clients. Absolutely fantastic working with you and your team.
Although I will not be needing your services again, if I ever came across anyone that is in need of your services, I will be more than happy to refer them to yourself with great confidence.
Dharmesh Lala. Leicestershire
I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for your professionalism and guidance in my court case at Lincoln Magistrates' Court on Monday.
It has been a genuine pleasure to have met you and for you to have taken on my case. I felt that I could not have been better represented and I will wholeheartedly recommend you and your services to anybody that asks for assistance in a motoring case.
David Colton. Derbyshire
I am writing this testimonial as I am extremely pleased with the professional service that I received from Brian Koffman and Co. with regard to a driving offence that I was alleged to have committed in June. I was driving on the A46 dual carriageway and two police officers stopped me. They had a hand-held laser gun and stated that I was travelling at 123 mph. I knew this could mean a lengthy driving ban and a large fine which would have serious implications to my day to day activities.
I did not know any solicitors at the time so I did some detailed research and rang Brian Koffman and Co. I was able to speak directly with Brian and discuss my concerns in detail. Brian assured me if I went with the firm every detail of the case would be thoroughly investigated and every possible defence scrutinised so if there was a technicality or some other defence available to me, he would find it.
He was thoroughly professional throughout and was able to put a case forward that resulted in the Crown Prosecution Service completely dropping the charges against me. This has saved my licence, a large fine, a huge rise in my insurance premiums and my costs.
I cannot thank Brian enough for all the hard work he put in to get this result.
Steve Freeman. Lincolnshire

Submission of my claim for expenses for my recent court case you brilliantly handled for me at the Liverpool Crown Court.
I am enclosing a record of my travel expenses, which include an airline ticket cost, train and cab travel costs.
Finally, let me say this, I am very grateful for the service you rendered to me in representing me at the Liverpool Crown Court.
You are a good lawyer and a good man, a rare combination indeed.

I was represented by Brian Koffman for a very serious motoring offence, which was not only dealt with in a very professional manner but also with a much needed caring approach. I am extremely grateful as it helped make a very difficult few months a little easier to get through.
I would highly recommend Brian Koffman to represent anyone in need of a defence for this type of offence.

Dear Brian.
Thank you so much for the role you have played in my life. I really appreciate it. Words can't express how grateful I am. You stood by me on the court day. Before meeting you I went through different Lawyers enquiring, but when I read your reviews, I knew you were the right lawyer for me.
The way you stood by me... I felt tears of joy from the way you fought my case. I am still speechless, thank you so much.
I wish you all the best for the future and I really appreciate what you have done for me.
You are the best Lawyer for Motoring Offences bar none!
