Whether your are caught drink driving and must attended court in relation to a PCA (Prescribed Concentration of Alcohol) or DUI (Drive under the influence of alcohol or other s. 12 Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management Act) we handle your case for you. We are cost effective and we offer flat capped fees in respect of drink driving matters. Your flat fees include all disbursements, conferences, telephone calls, photocopying, preparation and appearances in court.

Are you pleading guilty or are you defending your matter? Do you want to plead guilty but only after you make sure you do not have some kind of defence available? We can advise you on each of these courses. Preparation is the key. Days of preparation normally go into your case by our solicitors prior to one of our solicitors attending court.

The government uses police prosecutors to punish your breaking the law - and this is another reason why you need someone to get across your point of view about what happened and stand up to the prosecutor with good arguments. Be aware, prosecutors and police are not impartial and objective, they have a job to do, and that is to get convictions and higher penalties. Do not attend court without a lawyer and a clear vision about your strategy to get a good result. Our clients are satisfied. We deal with complex and serious driving matters including manslaughter/culpable driving and less serious cases such as licence appeals, speeding, drink driving and street racing.

The Guideline Judgment in respect of High Range PCA's has changed the landscape of sentencing for drink driving by imposing tough restrictions on what sentences can be imposed. Lenient sentencing has ceased and gaol has become a common form of deterrent and punishment for repeat offenders. Repeat offenders often receive cumulative disqualification periods being declared habitual traffic offenders and we are experienced in applying to quash such declarations. We strongly recommend an appeal whenever such a declaration is made in the Local Court and the District Court.
