FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, many criminal convictions can affect your driving privileges, especially if they involve vehicles, violence, or drug offences. Some criminal matters also involve traffic-related charges. Our traffic law specialists can advise on licence implications alongside your criminal defence.
In many cases, yes. Section 10 dismissals, conditional release orders, and other options can help you avoid criminal conviction even when charges are proven. We focus on protecting your future by exploring every avenue to avoid conviction.

Drink driving (PCA/DUI) is both a traffic and criminal offence.

Our criminal defence team handles the criminal aspects, while our traffic law specialists can address licence implications.
Never speak to police about criminal allegations without legal advice first. Anything you say can be used against you in court, and police interviews are designed to gather evidence for prosecution, not to help you. Contact us immediately if the police want to interview you.

Different courts handle different types of criminal matters based on their seriousness. Local Court handles summary offences, District Court handles most serious crimes, and the Supreme Court handles the most serious matters like murder. We appear in all jurisdictions.
Not necessarily. Many factors affect sentencing, and we know how to present your case for the best outcome. Even serious charges don’t automatically mean imprisonment – how your matter is presented in court can dramatically affect whether you receive a custodial sentence.
