Case Studies
Careless Driving (Ringwood Magistrates’ Court): A P-plater drove into the back of a car that had stopped suddenly in front of her. She was charged with careless driving as she was looking at her phone (but not touching it) when the accident occurred. We obtained a diversion which is a warning. There was no finding of guilt against her, despite admitting that she caused the crash. As part of the diversion, the court asked her to write a letter to the police and attend a road trauma seminar. A diversion avoids a criminal record.
Drink Driving (Ringwood Magistrates’ Court): We had a client who had been charged with drink driving after a single vehicle crash in Ringwood. Despite leaving the scene before the police arrived, he was blood tested at the hospital later that night. We successfully got the blood test excluded, leading to the withdrawal of the drink driving charge on the first day of court. Our client, a tradesman facing a 12-month licence cancellation, avoided this consequence thanks to our representation in Ringwood.
Suspended Driving (Ringwood Magistrates’ Court): We represented a client with two drive disqualified charges, caught one month apart in Ringwood. Despite his reliance on his licence for work and family responsibilities in Ringwood, we managed to avoid a licence cancellation. Through negotiations at court in Ringwood, he was fined $250 for the first offence and $750 for the second, allowing him to provide for his young family in Ringwood.
Drug Driving and Disqualified Driving (Ringwood Magistrates’ Court): Another successful case involved a man facing drug driving charges twice, disqualified driving charges twice, and possession of ecstasy tablets in Ringwood. Despite the severity of the charges, we secured a favorable outcome with a $1500 fine and a three-month licence cancellation in Ringwood.
Driving on Suspended License (Ringwood Magistrates’ Court): Today (the 28th May 2024) at the Ringwood Magistrates' Court, we achieved another successful outcome. Our client was charged with driving on a suspended license after misreading the demerit point correspondence. Despite the seriousness of the charge, we were able to negotiate a favorable outcome. Our client avoided jail time and was instead given a fine of $500 without a conviction. Additionally, there was no loss of license, allowing our client to maintain their freedom to drive and continue with their daily chores. This successful resolution highlights our commitment to providing effective legal representation and achieving the best possible outcomes for our clients in and around Ringwood.
