Do I Need a Lawyer?

When deciding whether to use a lawyer to represent you in court, it is important that you consider what having a lawyer can do for your chances of getting a lower sentence.


A good traffic lawyer who specialises in drink driving cases...

  • Knows what the court can take into account to reduce the automatic period of disqualification according to the guideline judgment into High range drink driving.
  • Knows what a Court wants to hear and can make submissions directed to those issues (without making things up).
  • Knows what a Court does not want to hear and will not say things that are likely to anger the magistrate and make things worse.
  • Knows the sentencing law well and how to use it to your advantage.
  • Will bring you to life in the submissions that they make to a court that will help you to stand out from the crowd rather than blend in with the other 40 or so matters at court on the day.
  • Will ensure that your references are of a high standard.
  • Knows the defences available to you and can advise you as to your likely prospects of success.
