Achieving
Your Goals
I
help you to achieve your
goals, including:
- an
acquittal
- all charges dismissed
- saving
your
licence
- avoiding
jail
- avoiding
community
work orders
- avoiding
demerit
points
- avoiding
a
conviction or criminal record
- avoiding
Interlocks
and other relicensing hassles
- reducing
or
eliminating fines
- reducing
and
managing any licence loss
periods
- recovering
your legal expenses from the
prosecution
After
investigating
your case I will advise you whether
defending the charges successfully
is a realistic option - often it is!
After discussing the cost-benefits
you then decide whether or not you
wish to go to a defended hearing to
try to get acquitted, or enter into
negotiations with the police, or
seek the lowest possible penalty by
pleading guilty.
Often
it
is not possible to save your drivers
licence unless you defend the
charges and win your case. You will
not find many lawyers who can offer
that service. Many "traffic lawyers"
are "experts" in the simple task of
pleading guilty. Their websites and
advice focus solely on the
consequences of pleading guilty and
being convicted - they seem to
assume losing is inevitable. Either
they don't know how to win a traffic
case - or they don't
care. If you want to win
your case you'll need a lawyer who
is accustomed to saying the words:
"The accused pleads not
guilty".
Why
use a barrister?
I
am a barrister, not a solicitor.
Barristers typically spend most of
their time in court fighting cases.
Traditionally, barristers are engaged
by solicitors to appear in court on
behalf of clients. But in prosecutions
heard in the Magistrates Court,
barristers are now permitted to appear
for defendants without a referral from
a solicitor. Sometimes it is easier
and more economical to engage an
experienced barrister directly,
without having to engage a solicitor
as well. Many solicitors rely on my
expertise to help them provide their
clients with accurate, up-to-date and
strategic advice.
Before
you decide whether to handle your
court case yourself, understand that
over 90%
of the cases I win are because of
deficencies in the police case and
legal technicalities. Less than 10% of
cases that I win rely on your evidence
being accepted by the Magistrate. If
you don't have a skilled lawyer who
knows how to find technicalities and
deficiences in the police case then
you may be throwing away 90% of your
chance of winning your case.
I
ensure all clients are pleased with
the legal services they receive. In
some circumstances I can not act for
clients without being briefed by a
solicitor. To learn more about the

outcome for you.
