Drink driving occurs when a person drives a motor vehicle while over the legal alcohol limit of 0.05. If you are facing a drink driving charge, it is worth getting a lawyer, because there is a range of possible outcomes and you only get one chance. At Fisher Dore, resolving drink driving offences is one of our specialties. We have years of experience fighting for our clients’ rights and have established ourselves as a top-tier criminal defence law firm by doing so.

Our Cairns, Mackay and Brisbane drink driving lawyers are here to provide invaluable legal advice and representation. Drink driving can come with serious penalties, so it is important to have a trustworthy and experienced lawyer to fight for your rights during this matter.

Drink driving is a criminal offence, and if you are charged with drink driving in Queensland you will most likely be facing a license disqualification at the very least. The ability to drive a motor vehicle is a necessity in many people’s lives, and having that ability taken away can be very distressing. Fisher Dore drink driving lawyers understand this, which is why we work tirelessly to assist you in these circumstances.

Drink driving penalties depend based on factors such as the amount of alcohol in your system, whether or not it’s your first offence, and whether any aggravating factors are present. The drink driving charges in Queensland are as follows:

  • Low range drink driving (blood alochol limit 0.05 – 0.099) – potential license disqualification for a set period of time
  • Mid range drink driving (blood alchol limit 0.10 – 0.149) – substantial fine, disqualified driving, potential imprisonment
  • High range drink driving (blood alcohol limit 0.15 and higher) – significant fine, lengthy license disqualification, term of imprisonment

It is also important to note that drink driving penalties become increasingly more severe for every repeat offence. If you require a drink driving lawyer in Cairns, Brisbane or Mackay due to facing one of the above drink driving offences, call us immediately. 

A drink driving lawyer can help you determine your defence strategy well before your court date so that you are completely prepared. By having a discussion with a Cairns, Mackay or Brisbane drink driving lawyer about the entire circumstances of the situation and not just the offence, a lawyer will be able to advise you on how to successfully contest the charge through:

  • Misidentification
  • Vehicle in motion
  • Time
  • Alcohol concentration

A drink driving lawyer can also help you get approved for a work licence if you driver’s licence is disqualified. For more information on how we can help you contest a drink driving offence, read our article on drink driving charges.

Dont take our word for it, here’s what our clients have had to say...

From the outset Nick was wonderful in assisting my son – empathetic, positive, pragmatic and knowledgeable. He demonstrated considerable expertise in handling the matter – knowing what approach to take, and tone to adopt, with the authorities. We were delighted with the eventual outcome and couldn’t recommend Nick highly enough.

Adam steered us through the worst period of our lives, with amazing patience and understand. We where not the easiest clients in the world but he was always there for us. He was some how able to achieve a resolution that I am still shocked at. Adam and the team he assembled saved our family, we can never thank him enough.

Michael was very professional, reassuring and under my instruction, put my best interests first. I couldn’t be happier with the results and if for any reason my friends or family needed a lawyer, I would definitely recommend Michael.

Sean went over and beyond to research up to date information and resources in order to successfully represent me in court. Thank you, Sean.

I recently had Adam represent me for a matter, and from the very first conversation he was so reassuring and compassionate!! I couldn’t be happier with the outcome, I recommend him to everyone who is in need of representation. A solid 10/10 from Me. A really good man!
