Charged with Drink Driving? Get Legal Help Before You Go to Court

Drink driving, also known as driving under the influence (DUI), is one of the most common and serious traffic offences in Australia. Penalties can include licence suspension, heavy fines, mandatory alcohol programs, and even jail for repeat or high-range offenders.

A traffic lawyer can explain your rights, review the evidence such as breath or blood test results, and identify possible defences or ways to reduce penalties. Whether it is your first offence or you are facing repeat charges, legal representation can make a significant difference in the outcome.

Law Tram connects you with experienced traffic lawyers who can help you prepare for court, protect your licence, and minimise the impact on your record and livelihood.
