FAQ
Legal questions
answered
Do I need a lawyer for a traffic charge?
For serious offences or when your licence is at risk, absolutely. For minor matters, we’ll tell you honestly if you can handle it yourself. Generally, if you’re facing licence loss, criminal conviction, or your livelihood depends on driving, you need expert legal help.
How long do traffic court matters take?
Simple matters might resolve in one court appearance, while complex defences or serious charges can take several months. We’ll provide you with a realistic timeline based on your specific charges and the defence strategy we recommend for your situation.
How much does it cost to fight a traffic charge?
We believe in transparent pricing with no surprises. During your initial consultation, we’ll provide a clear cost estimate based on your specific charges. Many traffic matters can be resolved efficiently, keeping costs manageable. We always explain all costs upfront before you commit, including court filing fees and potential penalty differences.
What if I’m guilty of the traffic offence?
Even when the facts aren’t in dispute, how your case is presented can dramatically affect your penalty. We focus on minimising consequences, exploring options like section 10 dismissals, conditional release orders, or work licence applications that can protect your future.
What’s the difference between traffic law and criminal law?
Some traffic offences are criminal matters (like drink driving), while others are regulatory violations. We handle all traffic-related charges, and serious matters that cross into broader criminal law territory can be referred to specialist criminal lawyers if needed.
How experienced is your team in court representation?
Our team has extensive experience across all court jurisdictions, from Local Court traffic matters to Supreme Court commercial disputes. We provide advocacy for estate disputes, family law proceedings, business litigation, and serious criminal matters requiring comprehensive legal representation.
