What We Handle
Licence Appeals We Run
Police Immediate Suspensions
Immediate suspensions issued by police for offences such as high range PCA and serious speeding. Where an appeal is available, we lodge in the Local Court, generally within 28 days, and argue for the suspension to be set aside or varied.
Transport for NSW Suspensions
Suspensions issued by Transport for NSW, including speeding suspensions for exceeding the limit by more than 30km/h or 45km/h. We prepare and run the appeal to the Local Court and present your driving history and hardship.
Demerit Point Suspensions
Suspensions for accumulating demerit points and breaches of a good behaviour licence. We advise on your appeal rights and, where an appeal lies, prepare the material a Magistrate considers.
The 28 Day Time Limit
Most licence appeals must be lodged within 28 days of the notice being served. We move quickly to assess your matter, prepare the documents and lodge in time so your right of appeal is preserved.
Court Disqualification Appeals
Severity appeals to the District Court against a disqualification ordered by a Magistrate. We prepare fresh evidence and sentencing submissions to seek a shorter disqualification or a different order.
Disqualification Removal
Applications under section 221B of the Road Transport Act to remove a disqualification early, once you have completed the relevant offence-free period of two or four years and have not driven while disqualified.
Habitual Offender Declarations
Applications to quash a habitual offender declaration and lift the extended disqualification, drawing on the NSW reforms that allow the Local Court to remove declarations where it is just and equitable.
Section 4 and Section 9 Appeals
Appeals to the Local Court under the Crimes (Appeal and Review) Act against convictions and sentences, including licence orders. We identify the right appeal path and act promptly to protect your position.
Hardship and Special Circumstances
Where the loss of a licence causes genuine hardship, we assemble evidence of employment, carer responsibilities and geographic need in the Hills District to support your appeal or application.
Act Fast.
Protect Your Right
to Appeal.
Licence appeals turn on strict time limits and careful preparation. We assess whether an appeal is available to you, lodge within the 28 day period where it applies, and build the evidence and submissions that give a Magistrate or Judge a proper basis to act in your favour. We never promise a result, but we prepare every matter thoroughly.
Lodge Within Time
We diarise the 28 day limit from the day you are served and prepare your appeal documents quickly so your right of appeal is not lost.
Build the Evidence
Employment letters, references, financial records and evidence of hardship, we assemble the material courts expect to see on a licence appeal.
Removal Applications
We check your eligibility to apply to remove a disqualification after the offence-free period and prepare the application to the Local Court.
Available Without Delays
Served with a suspension notice? We respond promptly and act without delay on urgent licence matters across the Hills District and all NSW.
