Do you have a court date?
You should make an appointment to see me early, but anytime prior to your next court date - even one day prior - is OK. It is very common to adjourn your first court date to a more suitable date. See Court ProcessClick here to book a conference.

Do you have a licence loss infringement notice?
Most people object to the infringement notice and then make an appointment to see me once they have their court papers. You can make an appointment to see me before you lodge your objection, or you can make an appointment to see me both before your lodge the objection and after you receive your court papers. Most people lodge the objection to go to court and then see me once they have court papers.

Do you have a demerit points problem
You should make an appointment to see me sooner rather than later. Bring with you all your paperwork - especially a recent print of your demerit points history which you can order from VicRoads online,  copies of any infringement notices you still have, copies of any correspondence between you and the police or VicRoads.

Do you owe more than $8,000 in outstanding fines?
You should make an appointment to see me as soon as you get a court date from the Sheriff. Be aware that the sheriff will not take you to court until they have seized and sold all motor vehicles registered in your name. Bring with you all your paperwork - especially any paperwork you have received from the sheriff. You need to bring a printout of all your outstanding fines.

At a conference, we will work out if your case has a realistic prospect of success, what the risks and costs are, work out a strategy including a time-line for action. After a conference, if you decide your case is not worth pursuing you don't need to incur any further legal fees.

Business-hours conferences cost $400 and take about one hour. Conferences can be in-person or by telephone.  Click here to book a conference.
