PCAs and other drink driving offences can result in a criminal conviction against your name. A conviction can have serious censequences for future employment prospects and even international travel.

Consulting a lawyer ensures you have a better understanding of the charge and the consequences. Legal representation may help you achieve a better outcome than if you represented yourself. Lawyers are skilled in identifying mitigating features (excuses and explanations) of a case to enable a magistrate to make an informed decision before imposing a penalty.

Most people plead guilty in PCA matters unless there is some dispute over the testing equipment. In DUI cases where evidence is subjective a lawyer’s experience in persuasive legal argument can be vital.
