Traffic & Driving Offences
If you have received a court attendance notice relating to a criminal charge, you need an experienced solicitor to identify what early investigative steps can be taken to protect your interests. A solicitor can ensure time-sensitive evidence and documents are identified and subpoenaed at an early stage, ensuring everything that can be done to defend your case has been done.
Drink driving can result in different lengths of licence suspensions and disqualifications. If the consequences of 'just pleading guilty' aren't explained to you, all vehicles that you can access (including work vehicles) may need to be fitted with interlock devices. A 'DUI' offence in New South Wales is known as driving with a certain range beyond the prescribed concentration of alcohol ('PCA') and carries lengthy disqualification periods, with offences for the higher ranges of alcohol carrying terms of imprisonment."
