A drink-driving charge can cost you your licence and carry lasting consequences. Advice is worth it — especially if you want to keep driving or the reading is high.
Drink-driving penalties in Victoria can include licence loss, an alcohol interlock and a behaviour-change program — and a conviction can affect employment and travel. How the matter is handled makes a real difference.
If the reading is high, it’s not a first offence, or losing your licence would seriously affect your work or family, get advice before you go to court.
We advise on plea, prepare material that can influence the outcome, and appear for you. In some cases the difference is significant.
Book a consult quickly — timing matters. We’ll explain your options and the likely outcome honestly.
