In most cases, a drink driving charge involves some form of licence cancellation or suspension. However, the duration and conditions vary significantly. A specialist DUI lawyer can assess your specific situation and advise on the most likely outcome.
Yes, in certain cases. If the evidence is insufficient or the police did not follow proper procedures, the court may withdraw or dismiss the charge entirely. Anaki Lawyers carefully tests every charge to determine whether the prosecution can actually prove it beyond reasonable doubt.
A low-range offence (BAC 0.05%–0.069%) can lead to fines and licence suspension. A mid-range offence (0.07%–0.149%) carries higher penalties and longer suspensions.
A high-range offence (0.15%+) results in major fines and long disqualification periods.
Anaki Lawyers answers all calls as soon as possible and guarantees a response within three hours. For urgent matters, including after-hours situations, Anaki Lawyers is available directly on the firm’s 24/7 hotline.
