I
have been successfully representing
people charged with motor traffic
offences since 1991. I
specialise in fighting traffic
offences, including drink
driving, speeding, dangerous
driving, driving whilst suspended. I am a traffic lawyer with 17
years experience fighting all types of offences under the Road
Safety Act, the Transport Act and other road traffic and transport
laws. Most of my clients want to
win their cases. If your lawyer
doesn't know how to win your case,
it is time to get a new
lawyer.
I
appear in court in all types of
motor vehicle related cases:
repairs, restorations, purchase and
sale, insurance claims,
registration, RWC, as well as
VicRoads, Local Government
and Infringements Court
matters including demerit points,
licence loss, traffic camera
offences and on-the-spot
fines.

Why
use a barrister?
I
am a barrister, not a solicitor.
Barristers typically spend most of
their time in court. Traditionally,
barristers were engaged by solicitors
to appear in court on behalf of
defendants. But in prosecutions heard
in the Magistrates Court, barristers
are now entitled to appear for
defendants without a referral from a
solicitor. Sometimes it is easier and
more economical to engage an
experienced barrister directly, without
having to engage a solicitor as well.
However, for clients who already have a
regular solicitor I recommend they
consult their solicitor intially. Your
solicitor can decide when it is
necessary to brief me to appear in
court or to give advice when that is
required.Solicitors regularly brief me
to represent their clients at court.
Many solicitors rely on my expertise to
help them provide their clients with
accurate, up-to-date and strategic
advice. I ensure all clients are
pleased with the service they get from
me and from their solicitors. In some
circumstances I can not act for clients
without a referral from a solicitor.
