Speeding Fines in Greece

One of the most common situations for English-speakers abroad is being stopped by the police for some type of infraction of the rules of the road. This usually relates to speeding or driving with undue care and attention - often a result of not understanding the local road traffic rules.

Most important is having a lawyer who understands you and who will know how to mitigate any sentence that may be levied.

Our legal assistance will guide you through the administrative and/or criminal processes, ensuring that your rights are protected, and striving to alleviate the financial and legal repercussions of road traffic violations in Greece.

Initially, the lawyer will examine any notification received regarding the traffic sanction, ensuring its validity and checking for any procedural flaws.

If grounds for contestation are identified, a formal objection is prepared and lodged within the legal timeframe.

Should this appeal be unsuccessful, further legal recourse is available through the judicial review process.

Throughout these stages, we maintain transparent communication with you, ensuring you are apprised of your case's progression and any requisite actions on your part.

Engaging our services yields significant benefits:

• Primarily, it provides a potential reduction or annulment of any penalty or fine, which can alleviate financial burdens.
