COURT MATTERS
We understand appearing in court can be a daunting process. There are procedures and rules to follow, and ways to argue your case to ensure your story is heard.
You do not have to do this on your own. You have McDonald and Partners on your side.
CRIMINAL MATTERS
COURT APPEARANCES
Being charged with a criminal offence can have very serious consequences. Every charge must be proven by the police or the prosecution beyond reasonable doubt. So it is important that police investigations are put to proof on the evidence in court.
TRAFFIC OFFENCES
ADVICE & COURT APPEARANCES
If you have been driving whilst suspended you can face a fine and further suspension. Depending on how many previous times you have previously offended, you could face prison.
You can also dispute a traffic fine, speeding offence or red-light camera fine. You may not have been the driver or you disagree with the allegations against you. You have the right to dispute the traffic allegations against you in court.
DRINK DRIVING OFFENCES
Have you been charged with a drink driving offence? Our solicitor can provide sound advice to prepare you for your court appearance. The penalties you face are serious and you can be convicted which means it is entered on your criminal record. You can also be fined and in some serious instances you may face a jail term.
In many instances of a conviction, there is a minimum period of disqualification from driving that must be imposed.
We at McDonald & Partners know that these consequences can have a serious impact not just on your personal life but also your livelihood.
We can also advise of any drink driving programs in your area for you to participate in. Your participation will assist in reducing your penalty.
