The real concern for drivers facing a drink driving allegation is the period of licence disqualification they face

Carefully crafted submissions supported by well drafted character references can often be the key to obtaining a favourable result. Our drink driving lawyers will be able to prepare and present your best case in mitigation with a view to saving your licence. Call one of our Blacktown drink driving lawyers today.

jail for drink driving offences
In New South Wales, sentencing decisions for high range drink driving are subject to a ‘Guideline Judgment’ handed down by the Court of Criminal Appeal.
