Are you facing a traffic charge? Get the right support and achieve the best possible outcome with Skuse Graham Lawyers.
Traffic offences can have serious consequences. While licence disqualifications and fines in the thousands of dollars can seem harsh, some offenders face the possibility of imprisonment. Our traffic lawyers bring a great deal of experience and negotiating power. Our traffic lawyer will sit down with you, so they can give you advice based on the circumstances of the offence.
If you’ve gotten into strife on the road, you might need to speak to a traffic lawyer. Traffic lawyers can help with a variety of legal matters relating to driving, supporting you on issues including:
For so many people, a licence is a livelihood. We’re here to support you in fighting against license loss or suspension.
Whether it’s for minor infringements or a singular, more serious offence, we’ll help guide you to the best possible outcome.
If you’re required to attend court, we’ll support you with expert legal advice and strong representation that goes above and beyond your expectations.
Do you think the evidence against you is inaccurate? From faulty radars through to unreliable witness accounts, our expert traffic lawyers will help you navigate towards the truth.
Even if you’re not at fault in a traffic law case, it pays to have a lawyer present: the legal system is confusing and complicated, and plenty of drivers end up accidentally incriminating themselves during questioning.
Court can be overwhelming for those not accustomed to its processes, and the Magistrates and Judges can be intimidating. It should never be faced without adequate representation. While you might feel as if you’ve done nothing wrong and will have no issues facing a court, the legal process can be gruelling and confusing – even to highly educated, highly savvy individuals. Often, this can mean you are unable to tell the court everything you had wanted to, and it may mean you do not get your desired outcome.
Our traffic lawyers are experts in presenting information to the Court, so that you can get the most favourable outcome
Drink and drug driving can have extremely serious repercussions, with different outcomes depending on how far over the legal limit you were and what type of licence you hold.
It is crucial that you obtain legal advice about your drug or drink driving charge before you go to Court. In some circumstances, you may be eligible for a work licence, which will keep you driving for employment purposes.
Disqualification periods can range from one month to in excess of 2 years if cumulative periods are imposed. But more seriously, it can lead to jail time: from a few months to over a year for repeated offences. Our DUI lawyers will provide representation that will assist you in getting back in a motor vehicle as soon as possible.
Speeding offences can result in a suspended licence depending on the severity of the charge.
If you have lost too many demerit points, are charged while on a Good Driving Behaviour period, or if you’ve exceeded the speed limit by more than 40 km/hr, you should contact a lawyer.
Our traffic lawyers can help you stay on the road by offering assistance and guidance with applications for Special hardship licences or help present mitigating features in court that will help keep any disqualification period to a minimum.
Dangerous driving offences are some of the most serious traffic-related charges and are, in fact, an offence under the Queensland Criminal Code.
These offences are considered serious – you should contact a lawyer immediately if you are charged.
You could be subject to hefty fines, demerit points, licence disqualification, or even jail time, depending on your individual circumstances. Where possible, we can assist you in negotiating the charge to a much lesser penalty (such as driving without due care and attention) or take the matter to trial if you believe you were not at fault.
Unlicenced driving and disqualified driving offences are two separate categories of offences – we can help you with both.
In Queensland, you are an unlicenced driver if you have never held a driving licence, you do not hold the class of licence for the vehicle you are driving, your licence has been suspended, or your licence has expired. These are just a few of the reasons why you can be charged with unlicenced driving.
A disqualified driver is a person who has had their authority to drive disqualified by a Court order. The mandatory minimum licence disqualification for disqualified driving is 2 years. Cars can be impounded, which can be a considerable expense or sanction to a family or individual.
Unlicenced/ disqualified driving offences carry mandatory disqualification periods, as well as significant fines. For repeated offences, Queensland has mandatory sentencing requirements: you could be in jail for up to 18 months. For this reason, it’s vital that you seek the advice of traffic offence lawyers as soon as possible. You may think you know what penalties you face, but when in court, the reality of the situation can hit home and cost you dearly.
Our traffic lawyers are experienced in negotiating favourable outcomes for these offences, and we can help mitigate the impact of these types of offences.
