Spent conviction in high range drink driving

Our client was charged with Excess 0.08, had no criminal record and was employed in a vocation which meant they were very well known in their community. Our client also volunteered extensively for a number of causes.

 

We recommended our client speak openly with particular former colleagues who could provide strong supporting character evidence and a record of the extensive contributions that they had made, which our client did. We presented this evidence to the WA Police and the Court well in advance of the sentencing date. 

​

At sentencing, we successfully persuaded the Magistrate to impose the mandatory minimum fine, the minimum driver’s licence disqualification, and a spent conviction. This allowed our client to continue their vocation without needing to disclose the offence any further.
