Melbourne Traffic and Drink Driving Lawyer

If you are charged with traffic offences (or any minor criminal charges) legal representation is highly recommended.

If you wish to dispute the charges (i.e. plead not guilty), a lawyer is essential.

Even if you do not dispute the charges, a lawyer is highly advisable. You will often be charged with multiple offences arising out of the same incident.

Your lawyer will negotiate with the prosecutor to have some of the charges withdrawn in exchange for a guilty plea.

In many cases, there is a range of penalties available to the Court (which might include prison, fines, licence cancellation/suspension and demerit points).

Your lawyer will present your case in the best possible light to ensure that you obtain a favourable outcome.

Our Traffic Lawyer is Vicki Koutsantonis

We are very happy with the service Kelly and Chapman Lawyers have provided for us! Susan was very professional, understanding and extremely helpful as we were navigating the purchase of our first property. She was very patient with us and eliminated any stress we had. Highly recommend!

Throughout the process of buying and selling our homes, Susan at Kelly and Chapman provided amazing service with very responsive and rapid communication turnaround. Her planning and attention to detail left no stone unturned. She was alway available to help and in my opinion, went above and beyond to ensure success for us. Highly recommended.

I recently used Kelly and Chapman Lawyers when I was selling my property in Oakleigh. I cannot speak highly enough about the amazing service that was provided. I would have had to push back the auction date if it wasn't for the unbelievable work of Susan. The accuracy, speed and communication was second to none and she saved the day on more than one occasion. 100/100.

Misko was a great help in guiding our large family through the processes of our mothers. . He displayed the knowledge we required and patience we needed, even dealing with my very basic zoom knowledge.
