Get Advice from Our Drink Driving and Drug Offence Lawyers in Melbourne
Drink driving and drug offences are among the most common traffic law infringements that individuals face. If you are caught driving with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.5 or higher – or you have illicit substances in your system while driving – your license will be suspended. However, consulting with an experienced traffic lawyer may be the difference between minimum loss of licence or a longer suspension. Our drug driving and drink driving lawyers in Melbourne have assisted individuals in a range of circumstances and can work with you to achieve the best possible outcome.
