A driving charge is really two problems: the court, and your licence. For most people in Fawkner the second one is the one that changes daily life — getting to work, the school run, the job that requires a licence. We act on drink driving, drug driving, speeding and excessive speed, careless and dangerous driving, driving while disqualified and licence applications, and we appear at the Broadmeadows Magistrates' Court.
What can be changed differs sharply from charge to charge, so the first thing worth knowing is which kind of matter you have. For drink driving, Victoria sets minimum licence disqualification periods by reading, and for most readings an alcohol interlock condition follows — a framework that leaves less room to argue than people expect. Other driving charges carry more discretion, and there the outcome usually turns on the material put to the court and how the facts are framed. Either way the work that changes the result is done before the hearing, not at it. We will tell you at the outset which of those your matter is.
People in Fawkner who face a traffic or driving matter often find themselves caught between wanting to resolve it quickly and needing to understand what's actually at stake. Whether it's something that happened on a local road, at a servo, or during a commute, the first step is to gather the paperwork: your notice or summons, any photos or dashcam footage, repair quotes if there's a vehicle issue involved, and notes on what happened and when. Talking through the circumstances—road conditions, signage, what you saw and heard—helps clarify what you're dealing with. We can then look at the document together and work through what your options are and what each path might involve.
Send us the charge sheet or the infringement. We'll tell you what you're facing, whether any licence loss is fixed by law or open to argument, and whether anything about your matter can be improved.
Leave your name and number — we call you straight back, usually within 2 minutes (8am–8pm), to understand your situation and book you in with the right lawyer. No cost, no obligation. Outside those hours we'll text you and call first thing.
We meet clients online right across Victoria — or in person at 911 High Street, Reservoir VIC 3073.
