How Can Our Criminal Lawyers Help?

A licence disqualification can have a serious impact on your ability to go to work and therefore, cause you financial difficulties. When your future depends on it, you need the very best legal representation.


At Kells, we understand the significant impact that a driving suspension can have on your daily life. For starters, a suspended licence can make to fulfil work responsibilities or even attend to personal matters. We recognise the importance of having the freedom to drive and will diligently work to help you regain your driving privileges.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I do if my licence has been suspended?

    In 1999 and again in 2013, Road Transport legislation was repealed and replaced by new legislation. This was part of the process of legislative reform attempting to unify nationwide transport legislation in the form of the Australian Road Rules.


    Unlike many straightforward issues, driving legislation is extensive and clouded in complication from determining fault, offending conduct to the way fines and suspensions are enforced.


    As a driver, there are many obligations with which you must comply (such as at an accident) and failure to do so can lead to further charges or disqualification periods.


    There are strict timelines as to court elections which vary according to the circumstances. The court can impose lengthy disqualification periods and even jail for repeat/serious offenders.


    That is why if you’ve been affected by a driving suspension, it is of absolute importance to seek the assistance of our criminal lawyers at Kells. Our team understands the complexities of driving laws in NSW and the potential consequences you may face. We will do everything in our power to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.

  • What is your process for handling suspended licence cases?

    To ensure the best possible outcome for our clients, we use a very thorough and rigorous process from start to finish. We begin by carefully examining the circumstances that led to your driving suspension, meticulously analysing the case, and identifying any potential legal avenues to challenge or reduce the suspension.


    Our team will work closely with you to protect your interests. We will explain the legal process, outline the potential consequences, and provide an honest assessment of your case. This is because we believe that our clients deserve a clear understanding of the steps involved and the possible outcomes.
