Sydney DUI Lawyer In New South Wales the Courts take a very serious approach when dealing with

offences of Driving Under the Influence (DUI) and driving whilst over the Prescribed Concentration of Alcohol (PCA). Subsequently there are very harsh penalties for these types of drink driving offences and the gravity of the penalties will largely depend on the level of your Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) and whether or not you have been convicted of a similar offence in the past. In recent times the Courts and traffic laws in New South Wales have bowed to public demand to take a more serious and tougher approach when dealing with drink driving matters. Understandably the higher your BAC, then the higher your monetary fine and the longer your period of disqualification will be. We will advise you on whether or not there are any merits in defending your DUI or PCA charge, whether your BAC reading was accurate and whether the police observe time limits and other procedural requirements. If you have been charged with a DUI or PCA offence then generally penalties of disqualification and monetary fine will apply, however if you have previous convictions of a similar nature then you could be classed as a Habitual Offender and maybe subject to a term of imprisonment. If you decide to engage our legal representation we will sit down with you and carefully devise a strategic plan to obtain the best result possible. We have a good reputation as successful Sydney DUI Lawyer and should you choose our firm to act on your behalf will give you every opportunity to get a better outcome for you matter.
