Drink Driving

Drink Driving charges can have severe consequences for you and those you love. Losing your licence for drink driving can result in the inability to provide for your family, not only financially due to loss of employment, but logistically.

Our experienced drink driving lawyers can provide the strong representation and expert advice required to ensure the best possible outcome.  A licence suspension may not be all that you lose, as the penalty for repeat offenders can include imprisonment. There are many drink driving programs across Australia that you can participate in, to assist with penalty reduction, by addressing your behaviour through education and information.  Attending these programs provides you with the chance to reduce the period your licence is suspended and provides you with the knowledge to prevent you making the same mistake again.

Some states also impose the requirement for you to have an electronic breath testing device connected to the ignition of your car. This system will prevent your car from starting if it detects alcohol on your breath. If the Courts orders such a device to be installed, you will not be able to drive any other vehicle other than the one you have elected to have the interlock installed. Violations are serious and can result in a further period of suspension. 

Drink Driving charges should not be taken lightly, it is a serious offence and suspension periods can be lengthy, affecting your ability to work and provide for your family.   Our drink driving lawyers have the experience required to ensure that all the mitigating circumstances are presented, helping you to achieve the best possible outcome.
