Our objective is to put you first and if we do not consider that there is a defence available to you, then we will advise you as to the most appropriate way forward in seeking to obtain the most favourable outcome with regard to your case.

If you plead guilty to the offence then we can assist you by providing representation so that mitigation can be advanced to the Court on your behalf.

The offence of drink driving is committed if: “A person drives or attempts to drive a vehicle on a road or other public place after consuming so much alcohol that the proportion of it in his breath, blood or urine exceeds the prescribed limit he is guilty of an offence”

We will also advise as to the procedural requirements of obtaining a breath, blood or urine sample from you as the process requires strict adherence to procedure by those conducting it. If we consider that there is a procedural issue with your case then it may be that the case against you cannot be proven.

If convicted of the offence of Drink Driving, the Court will impose a mandatory disqualification for a minimum period of 12 months. Although a ban is always imposed, skilled presentation of mitigation can help reduce that ban. We can also request on your behalf that the Court make the offer to you to complete what is known as the Drink Driver Rehabilitation Court which, if completed in the time frame set down by the Court, will reduce your disqualification by 25%.
