How can I get my driving while disqualified charges dropped?

By Last Updated: July 26, 2022

How can I get my driving while disqualified charges droppedIn some cases, there is a possibility that after reviewing all of the evidence against you, we find weaknesses that are detrimental enough to the Crown prosecutor’s case that we can persuade them to drop the charges against you. If this does not happen, there are other ways that you can ensure that you are not convicted of this offence without proceeding to trial.

For example, we can engage in early case resolution negotiations with the Crown, and we may be able to persuade them to drop your criminal charges in exchange for a timely guilty plea to a traffic offence. As a result, you will likely pay a fine, but will ultimately be able to completely avoid a criminal conviction. If your charges are too serious or if the evidence against you is too strong to persuade the Crown to allow you to plea to a traffic offence, there are some sentencing options that can significantly reduce the penalty that you face after a finding of guilt. For example, we can make an in-court application on your behalf for a conditional discharge. A conditional discharge is not the same as a conviction. Instead of being convicted after a finding of guilt, you will be ‘discharged’ from the offence if you comply with certain conditions for a specified amount of time. In order to learn more about discharges, please visit our FAQ on conditional and absolute discharges.

If this is not your first offence and a discharge is not appropriate in your circumstances, we can work to secure a sentence that will place minimal restrictions on your liberty. For example, we can advocate for you to avoid any time spent in prison and instead have you pay a fine, or a fine or probation. If prison is unavoidable, we can also advocate for sentences that will allow you to serve your sentence in the community with a conditional sentence order, or for you to serve an intermittent sentence and only serve weekends in jail. No matter what your circumstances may be, contact one of our criminal defence lawyers immediately and we will immediately begin working to secure the best possible outcome for your charges.

I am grateful that Ms. Moira McAvoy was my lawyer, and I remain thankful to her for everything. She made a successful resolution to my case possible. Ms. Moira McAvoy is a professional, trustworthy lawyer, and a compassionate person. She is an excellent listener and knowledgeable of the law. From the start, she was an excellent guide. I did not know anything about the legal system and court, and she outlined everything clearly in advance, so I could understand things. She never rushed me through anything. She spoke clearly, explained everything, considered what I said, and provided options and advice. She kept me up to date on new information, requirements, and deadlines. She was always positive and this helped so much.

Ryan Patmore and his team are simply the best. I was bullied by CPS in 2020 and it landed me with three separate charges, assault, refusal to blow and DUI, which all went down as I was parked at a friends. After some research and a conversation with Michael, he directed me towards Ryan and at the time I didn’t know that would be a game changer in my favour! He is honest, transparent, helpful and a brilliant mind. He successfully appealed my license suspension with ATSB and then proceeded to get the crown to dismiss all my charges before trial. I never had to step foot inside a courtroom. If you are in need of a criminal defence lawyer, don’t think twice, get in touch with this firm and ask for Ryan Patmore! The guy is an absolute saviour.

Joseph Beller, from the very beginning when I first contacted and then retained Joseph as my representative I felt I was in good hands. When I emailed him with a question. I got a prompt response. We communicated often on the phone as needed. Joseph kept me informed as to the process. He made sure I knew all the potential results so I knew and could plan for the different outcomes. I know this his his job. But appreciate his professionalism and also his ability to not make me feel any extra stress. Well done.
