The Traffic Lawyer in Melbourne Taking the Stress Out of Court

If you have been charged by the police with a driving offence, you will have a lot of questions and a lot of stress! You need someone who can explain what is going to happen in a way that you can understand. About 50% of our clients have never been to court before, so we’ll take the time to speak about your case with you and put your mind at ease.

In almost all of our cases, you will not be required to speak at court. We can even check in for you on the day of the hearing. Whether it is suspended or disqualified driving, drink or drug driving, careless or dangerous driving, speeding or hoon offences, we have done thousands of cases just like yours. We are very good at anticipating what you want to know and will tell you the process at each stage, so you know what to expect.

How a Driving Offence Lawyer in Melbourne Can Help With Your Case

At William Archer Defence Lawyers, we provide expert defence services for a broad spectrum of traffic and driving offences. A driving offence lawyer in Melbourne from our team can help when you have been charged with:

• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Speeding and other similar infringements
• Driving while suspended or disqualified
• Careless or dangerous driving
• Failing to stop or report an accident
• Refusing a breath or drug test
• Hoon driving and street racing offences

At William Archer we will get your side of the story and then compare it to what the police are alleging. If there is a defence, we will tell you. If we think the charge is right, we will work with you to get the lowest penalty at court. We can help with all police charges!

The Traffic Lawyer in Melbourne Protecting Your Licence and Livelihood

At William Archer Defence Lawyers, we understand the high stakes involved in traffic offence cases. That's why we fight to protect your driving rights and minimise licence suspensions whenever possible. Our traffic lawyers in Melbourne will explore all available options for keeping you on the road, including negotiating with prosecutors, presenting compelling arguments in court, and advocating for alternative sentencing options when appropriate.

Your licence is your livelihood, and we understand that being without a licence for even one day is inconvenient. For any longer it can be life changing as you struggle to hold onto your job or attend to your family’s activities and drop offs.  

We know what the court wants to hear in order to stop you losing your licence. There are some cases that have compulsory loss of licence (drink driving, big speeds or dangerous driving) but for most other offences, we can build a story around your personal circumstances to give you a better than 90% chance to keep your licence.

Going to Court for the First Time? What to Do If You're Facing Traffic Charges

If you've been charged with a traffic offence for the first time, it's essential to take swift action to protect your rights and start building your defence. Here are some key steps to follow:

1. Contact an experienced traffic lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your case and explore your options.

2. Gather all relevant documentation related to your charges, including police reports, witness statements, and any other evidence.

3. Avoid discussing your case with anyone other than your lawyer to prevent potentially damaging statements from being used against you.

4. Attend all required court appearances and follow your lawyer's guidance throughout the legal process.

At William Archer Defence Lawyers, we offer free initial consultations to help you understand your charges and make informed decisions about your defence. Our team is available for contact seven days a week via phone, SMS, email, or our online enquiry form, making it easy for you to get the expert advice you need when you need it most.

If you have to go to court, please contact us immediately so that we can explain the next steps and things that you should avoid.  Firstly, avoid speaking to the police any further.  If you are driving, you have an obligation to tell them your name and address so that they can identify you.  After that, you should not speak about the incident until we have had a chance to speak.

It takes about 4-8 weeks to receive your documents from the police (Charge & Summons).

We will review your documents without opening a file and without sending you a tax invoice.  We will then answer all your questions and tell you:

1. The range of likely outcomes
2. The court process
3. How we prepare for your case
4. The fixed fee that we would charge if you engage us to be your lawyers
