A driving charge is really two problems: the court, and your licence. For most people in Jacana 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 Jacana who face traffic or driving matters often find themselves needing quick, practical advice after a police interaction—whether on the road or at a station. Jacana residents typically come to us after receiving a ticket, being breath-tested, or being asked to provide details following an incident. The first useful step is to gather what you have: the ticket or notice, any correspondence from police, dashcam or phone footage if you recorded anything, and a clear note of what happened and when. Write down the names and details of anyone else involved, any witnesses, and exactly what you remember about road conditions, signs, and how events unfolded. Bring all of this when you meet with us, so we can review the circumstances and work 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.
