A driving charge is really two problems: the court, and your licence. For most people in Glenroy 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 Glenroy dealing with traffic matters often find themselves pulled over during routine journeys or learning about an issue through the post. A driving offence notice might arrive after a camera detection, or you might have been stopped and issued a ticket on the spot. The first step is to gather everything: the notice itself, any photos or documents that came with it, your driving history if you know there are prior matters, and a clear account of what happened—the time, conditions, what you were doing, whether you remember seeing signage, and whether anything felt unclear at the time. Write these details down while they're fresh. Before you respond to the notice or pay anything, it's worth having a lawyer look at what you've got and talk through your options.
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.
