Our History: The Original Road Traffic Law Specialist
Our story began on 5 October 2001 when our founder, Graham Walker, registered the domain name Roadtrafficlaw.com.
Graham had identified a critical gap in the Scottish legal market — motorists facing prosecution had no dedicated firm specialising solely in road traffic law. Determined to fill this need, Graham established Scotland’s first law practice exclusively devoted to defending drivers. Graham’s vision was to create a practice that offered unparalleled expertise and dedicated legal service to motorists facing prosecution:

10 years later, our current managing director, Steven Farmer, was recruited by Graham after finishing top of his year at Glasgow University.
For over two decades, we have built a national reputation for meticulous case preparation, in-depth knowledge of Scottish road traffic legislation, and an unwavering commitment to achieving successful acquittals. We have a success rate of 94%. Our history reflects our success in traffic courts across Scotland:
- Our success rate is not a number plucked from the air: it is based on an independent analysis of 1000 of our case files selected at random.
Our Present: Scotland’s Most Successful Road Traffic Law specialist
Roadtrafficlaw.com has been at the forefront of motoring defence in Scotland for over two decades.
From the early days, the firm quickly developed a reputation for legal excellence, fearless advocacy, and outstanding client care. We became known for our ability to secure acquittals in complex and high-profile cases, our deep understanding of Scots road traffic legislation, and our strategic approach to case preparation. Our work has taken us to sheriff courts across the entire country — from Glasgow and Edinburgh to the Highlands and Islands — defending clients in cases ranging from speeding allegations to serious dangerous driving charges.
Over the years, Roadtrafficlaw.com has adapted to changes in the law, new enforcement technology, and shifting prosecution strategies. We have successfully challenged laser speed detection devices, contested blood alcohol analysis, and defended against mobile phone offence prosecutions. This evolution has been driven by our unwavering focus on protecting our clients’ right to drive, their livelihood, and their reputation.
Today, under the leadership of Managing Director Steven Farmer, we continue the mission Graham started. We remain a boutique law firm with a national reach, offering fixed-fee representation, clear legal advice, and results-driven defence. Our history is more than just a timeline — it is proof of our commitment, our expertise, and the trust thousands of motorists across Scotland have placed in us since 2001.
