A driving charge is really two problems: the court, and your licence. For most people in Fraser Rise 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 Sunshine 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 Fraser Rise often face traffic matters after an incident on local roads or nearby highways—speeding, failing to stop, or an accident where police have issued an infringement notice. You might have received a letter in the mail weeks after the event, or been stopped and handed something on the spot. Before anything else, gather the documents: the notice itself, any police report or photos you have, dash-cam footage if you recorded it, and details of witnesses. Write down what you remember about the conditions, your vehicle, and what happened. If you're uncertain whether to respond or what your options are, that's the right time to contact a lawyer who can review the paperwork with you and talk through what usually happens next.
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.
