We Provide Advice on Going to Court in Cairns
Feel Prepared for Your Hearing
If you’re going to court for a serious driving or traffic offence, then get in touch with the team at Cairns Traffic Lawyers. Our qualified lawyers can explain your offence and the potential consequences, as well as providing advice on the next best course of action. Court proceedings and licence applications have strict time limits, so it’s important to notify us as soon as possible to ensure the highest chance of a positive outcome.
Our lawyers pride themselves on their ability to explain complex legislation in an easy-to-understand way and compile paperwork quickly. We’re a friendly and organised team, ready to help you make informed decisions. You can choose to represent yourself in court or take advantage of our knowledgeable lawyers.
We have handled traffic offences since 1999! Whether it’s for drink driving or speeding, call us on 07 4041 4370 to book an appointment. You can visit our firm in Cairns, or we can travel to your location anywhere in Queensland.
Representation & Negotiation Services
Do you have a valid reason as to why the offence occurred? Do you believe you’re not in the wrong? At Cairns Traffic Lawyers, we can negotiate your charges with the prosecutor or the Office of the Department of Public Prosecutions. We’ll assess your case and provide personalised advice on whether it’s worthwhile pursuing a negotiation or accepting the guilty plea.
It may be in your best interests to negotiate the charges if:
- There is enough evidence to prove you were wrongfully charged
- There isn’t enough evidence to prove that you committed the offence
People often choose to accept the fine and punishment rather than negotiating because they would prefer not to drag out the process. However, this can have a big impact on their ability to carry out jobs and maintain an income. That’s why it’s important to consult our qualified lawyers who have a special interest in traffic and criminal law.
Assistance With Obtaining Licences
Do you need a drivers’ licence to continue earning a living? Speak with the team at Cairns Traffic Lawyers to understand all your options. Our lawyers will evaluate your unique case and determine if you’re eligible for either a work licence or special hardship order. These licences allow you to drive under restricted conditions, even if your provisional or open driving licence has been disqualified.
We can assist you with the application process and represent you in court before the Magistrate. If you’ve been charged with drink driving and you had a blood alcohol level less than 0.15 percent, then a work licence might be suitable for you. A special hardship order might apply to you if you were driving over the limit by 40km/hr. Contact us for more information.
