Frequently asked questions
Q. What preparation will assist me in Court?
For most driving matters, you should look to:
- Obtain character references (we will provide you with a reference template);
- Undertake a driving course (we will give you referrals to courses regarded highly by the Courts); and
- See a drug or alcohol counsellor.
More serious offences may require you to do additional preparation. Your lawyer will also obtain your background information to draft their “submissions”. These are mitigating factors they will present to the Court on your behalf.
Q. Will my matter be finalised on the first Court date?
Q. What do I need to provide to my lawyer?
It is helpful if you can send us anything you have received from the police or Queensland Transport.
If you have been charged, we will obtain a copy of the police document which sets our their version of events and a copy of your traffic history, and ask you to review this.
We will also request information about the offence, your background, and personal circumstances to assist us to speak to the Court and make submissions of your behalf.
Q. What is the difference between pleading guilty & contesting the charges?
If you plead guilty, you accept responsibility for the offence, and your matter is usually resolved more quickly. Your lawyer will prepare submissions to present mitigating factors to the Court, which can go toward obtaining a more lenient sentence.
If you contest the charges, you challenge the allegations. This may require a trial, where evidence is presented and witnesses can be cross-examined.
Another option that may be available, is to negotiate with Police Prosecutions about some elements of the charge outside of Court before pleading guilty.
Your lawyer will discuss the pros and cons of all approaches to help you make an informed decision.
Q. What happens if I cannot attend my Court date?
If you’re unable to appear on your scheduled Court date, you can ask your lawyer to seek an adjournment on your behalf. In most cases, the Court will grant an adjournment. We will discuss with you if we foresee any risks with this before the Court date.
