Traffic Offence - Preliminary Opinion
You may find yourself on the receiving end of a Traffic fine, Traffic Infringement or Court Attendance Notice in respect of a Traffic Offence. As experienced Traffic Lawyers, we also understand that, in many cases (but of course not in all cases), Traffic Offence matters often involve monetary fines that, when compared with the sheer legal costs associated with access to legal advice or legal representation in Court, make it uneconomical or financially unjustifiable to seek legal advice or legal representation in Court.
We adopt the theory that in relation to any Traffic Offence matter, no decision should be made by a client to invest in the expense of having to pay for a lawyer to represent the client in Court, unless the client has first obtained a preliminary legal opinion, from our firm, outlining options available to the client and setting out the benefits and risks in proceeding to take a Traffic Offence matter to Court.
The first step, of course, is to know where you stand and what options are available to you. Regardless of the situation, getting a clear view of your surroundings and putting your legal problem into context will allow you to make more informed decisions.
We charge a Fixed Fee of $ 990.00 for a Preliminary Legal Opinion in relation to a Standard Traffic Offence matter. This service is focused on providing our clients with a broad perspective on their options at an affordable price. Usually, a preliminary legal opinion will involve:
- An initial conference with you at which point we will take detailed instructions from you regarding your matter
- An assessment of the relevant legal documents, fines, infringement notices, Court Attendance Notices, correspondence, your driving record and driving history, notices, Court documents (if applicable), Court Orders (if applicable), file notes or any other documents
- A preliminary investigation and preliminary research into the legal context of the matter, including considering appropriate legislation and case law where necessary
- The preparation of a letter of advice which will set out our preliminary legal opinion, stipulate our findings and make clear some of the possible options, defences or remedies that may be available to you
In summary, our goal is for our clients to know exactly where they stand and what they will be paying at the end of the day.
