Our drink driving lawyers act for all persons charged with drink driving offences. Driving under the influence of alcohol is considered a serious offence in Queensland and will almost always result in court proceedings with harsh penalties. To make sure you are fairly represented and your penalties are minimised, guidance from an experienced traffic lawyer is invaluable.

Drink driving penalties are determined based on your blood/breath alcohol concentration at the time of the offence, and whether you have been previously convicted of a similar offence. Common penalties include licence disqualification periods and hefty fines.

The Magistrate has additional sentencing options including ordering that you be subject to probation or a jail term (either allowing you to remain in the community or serving actual time in custody). This is why it is imperative to have a specialist traffic lawyer by your side to ensure your penalty is less severe.

Guest Lawyers offer free initial consultations (including in prisons) to assist with a number of drink driving charges. We act for all persons required to appear before the Magistrates and Supreme Court. We also conduct appeals in the Court of Appeal and High Court.

Our team of Brisbane criminal lawyers are licensed to practise across Australia and often travel to other states and territories to do so. Please get in touch with our lawyers either via Guest Lawyers’ email or by calling (07) 3211 3007.
