DUI & Traffic Defence – Pharmacis Canning Lawyers

Drink driving offences are taken seriously under Queensland law, and the penalties can be severe. As drink-driving laws differ between Australian states and territories, the legal process, available defence options and sentencing outcomes depend on where the offence occurred.

If you have been charged in Proserpine or the surrounding region, it is essential to seek advice from an experienced Queensland drink driving lawyer who understands local court procedures and traffic legislation.

At Pharmacis Canning Lawyers, our drink driving defence is led by Principal Lawyer George Pharmacis, providing strategic, practical advice aimed at protecting your licence and minimising penalties.

Drink Driving Penalties in Queensland

A conviction for a drink driving (DUI) offence in Queensland may result in:

• Automatic licence suspension or disqualification

• Mandatory fines

• A criminal conviction

• Possible imprisonment for high-range or repeat offences

Minimum licence disqualification periods apply in most cases. In certain circumstances, reduced disqualification periods may only be granted by a specific court order, which requires careful legal preparation and persuasive submissions.
