Our traffic offence lawyers have expert and detailed knowledge of all Sydney and NSW road transport legislation and associated regulations, as well as the conceptually difficult laws of evidence, a claim that can reasonably be made by very few law firms, but essential knowledge for lawyers who act as court advocates in the field of Traffic Law. That means you can rely on your lawyers to defend your matter in the Local Court and at Severity Appeals in the District Court, without the considerable added cost involved in retaining a barrister, the usual course for infringement lawyers who are not expert practitioners in this field.
Our Sydney solicitors apply the same degree of expertise, diligence and determination to every one of the offences in Sydney that we defend, whether a ‘major traffic offence’ (MTO) that attracts a custodial sentence (e.g. dangerous operation, driving under the influence of alcohol or other drug (‘dui’), negligent driving occasioning death or GBH, operating a vehicle while disqualified/suspended/cancelled) – to less serious matters such as infringements that attract a maximum penalty of a fine and demerit points. A conviction for a MTO results in mandatory licence disqualification.
If a driver has convictions for three MTOs in five years, Roads and Maritime Services disqualifies the driver from holding a licence for five years under a Habitual Traffic Offender Declaration (HTOD) in addition to any period of license disqualification ordered by the court. The solicitors at our office are expert at applications to the Local Court to have HTOD records quashed.
Our lawyers’ success in having matters dismissed at hearing in the Local Court is second to none. Our lawyers have a similar record of success in having legal matters dismissed under section 10 of the sentencing act so that clients avoid a conviction and licence disqualification.
Your ability to receive a free and unbiased process is paramount to our team. Therefore, you can trust us to use our skill, knowledge and profound expertise to analyse the facts before applying them in a court of law. We view each case as an individual situation and this allows us to specifically look at the matter with an eye for returning the best possible outcome.
Our offence lawyers also have an impressive record in relation to Traffic Law conviction and severity appeals from the Local Court to the District Court. Whether you’re in Bankstown, Campbelltown, or anywhere across Sydney’s west, start a conversation with our legal team to find out how we can help you.
