TRAFFIC OFFENCES

At GMH Legal, we realize that the loss of your license can have deleterious effects on your personal liberty and your ability to earn income. Being charged with a drink driving offence, or any other type of traffic offence, can be a very unnerving experience, particularly for those who are getting their first taste of the criminal justice system. It is a common misconception that there is no way to defend traffic offences, or if you are facing a suspension period, there is no way to minimise your penalty. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Our dedicated team of criminal defence lawyers effectively represent clients for all traffic and driving offences. We vigorously fight for our client’s legal rights and seek to ensure that we achieve the best outcome possible for our clients in the circumstances. Our lawyers will thoroughly review your case to determine if there are any possible defences, and failing this, will vigorously represent you in court in order to minimise any penalties that may be imposed.

We will also look into all the circumstances of the traffic offence and any inconsistencies in the police account of the event. Our lawyers will collect and compile evidence of your good driving character, and your good character in general, and present this information to the court in a cogent and persuasive manner that will ensure the optimal outcome in the circumstances.

We will also advise you in relation to other methods of maximizing your prospects of securing a favourable outcome in court, such familiarizing you with the Alcohol Ignition Interlock Program and habitual traffic offender declarations. In addition, we have the connections necessary to retain expert driving reports in order to maximize your prospects of success, including pharmacological and crash investigation or crash reconstruction reports. These are the sport of resources and additional information that will make your case stand out in court and increase your chances of securing the best possible outcome in the circumstances.

In addition, our traffic law lawyers can advise you of the probable accuracy of any blood alcohol concentration reading that has been conduced by the Police and whether such tests can be challenged in court. This could mean the difference between a conviction and non-conviction, or between a long disqualification period or a shorter period off the road.
