Donating a sample whilst in hospital has a significant impact on your case and the advice we will give you. If you were a patient during the police officer’s procedure, then we urge you to speak to as soon as possible.
If you provided a sample, it will likely be one of blood or urine. Being a patient in hospital grants an extra level of “legal protection” . Whether they intend to or not, the Police often try to bypass this, which creates huge problems for the Prosecution.
Steps taken at this stage and early advice can often have a meaningful impact on the result so we urge you to contact us to discuss your case.
Even though you may have provided a positive sample, or you may have failed to provide – the fact that you were in the hospital cannot be overlooked and there is a very good chance you can avoid a conviction.

No firm can ever guarantee a specific outcome. What we can guarantee is where there is a way to defend your case, we will identify it when the evidence becomes available to us. As part of this process we will scrutinise the case against you and look specifically at:
01 - Police Procedure
The process is very strict and the police often (rather alarmingly) make mistakes.
02 - How the Evidence was Obtained From You.
Whether it was breath, blood or urine is a hugely significant detail. Depending on the sample we will examine:
- The breathalyser device you were tested on (which are prone to fault like every other piece of electrical equipment
- How you provided your blood/urine sample
- How the sample was stored/analysed
03 - The Strength of the Evidence Against You.
The Prosecution must convince the court that you are guilty beyond reasonable doubt. We know that defendants often plead guilty before seeking advice, possibly because of negative advice at the police station. The evidence against you must be strong enough to prove that you are guilty.
04 - Prosecution Procedure.
The Prosecution has obligations that they must satisfy when preparing a case and we often see instances where they fail to do this. It is one of your fundamental legal rights to a fair trial and we have successfully argued that the failings of the Prosecution prevent you from enjoying this right. This can often lead to the case being dismissed.
05 - Whether Special Reasons apply
Special reasons can apply to a variety of different cases and circumstances. You can read more about that by clicking here.
