Choosing the Right DUI Lawyer Can Change Everything

Why Boorman Lawyers Delivers Results

Specialist Criminal & Traffic Lawyers

Our lawyers know everything there is to know about Criminal and Traffic Law in New South Wales and Queensland. Why? Because we specialize exclusively in these areas.

Unlike general practitioners who take any matter that comes through the door, we focus solely on traffic and criminal law. Our lawyers have appeared on thousands of cases throughout Queensland and New South Wales, giving them unparalleled experience in achieving successful outcomes.

You'll have direct contact with the senior solicitor or partner handling your case from beginning to end. No being passed off to paralegals or junior staff - the experienced lawyer you meet with is the one who appears for you in court.

Experience & Proven Track Record

Our experienced Criminal and Traffic Law solicitors have appeared and represented clients on thousands of different cases throughout New South Wales and Queensland.

This high volume of cases gives our solicitors considerable experience dealing with the full range of issues and problems that can arise during the court process. We've seen it all - from procedural complications to unexpected magistrate questions to last-minute evidence issues.

This experience translates into practical benefits for you: we understand what will work, we know how to prepare strategic cases, and we can anticipate and solve problems before they derail your matter.

Ability & Skill to Prepare the Best Case

Our vast experience has given our lawyers a specialized skill set to persuasively argue your case when it comes before a court. The fact that we appear in court daily means our lawyers understand exactly what magistrates' attitudes and views are, and how to present cases in ways that consistently achieve the best results.

After preparing thousands of cases, we know exactly what evidence and documents support your case, which education courses you should complete, what rehabilitation treatment would be beneficial (both personally and to demonstrate seriousness to the court).

We know which issues to emphasize and which to avoid when presenting your case. After many years and thousands of cases, you can be confident we have the appropriate skill set and ability to achieve the best possible outcome for your matter.

Communication & Honesty

We understand that when a client engages our legal services, it's usually a stressful, emotional, and uncertain time. For this reason, we do our absolute best to ensure you're fully aware of your situation and the potential or likely outcomes.

We're very upfront and honest with our clients so you truly understand your situation. We know there are lawyers who promise the world just to get your business. We take a different approach - we provide honest appraisals of your matter while using our experience and strategy to pursue the desired outcome.

We'll never promise particular outcomes that are impossible or very unlikely to achieve. We are realistic and honest in our approach with clients and with courts.

Reasonable Fixed Fee Costs

Costs are always a big consideration when choosing a lawyer. Most people worry about being lumped with massive legal bills without understanding how much they've racked up.

We disclose everything upfront before you incur any costs. We generally quote a fixed fee which removes all uncertainty about what you'll pay. Prior to commencing, we'll discuss fixed fee amounts and provide a Costs and Disclosure Agreement as required by the Law Society.

When you engage our firm, expect:

  • Very reasonable fixed fee costs for experienced lawyer services
  • No overcharging or double billing
  • No travel costs
  • No additional costs (photocopying, emails, phone calls, etc.)

Our fees are competitive - we may cost more than general practitioners who don't specialize, but we're certainly not the most expensive. Our fees sit around the middle of the market, but as they say, you get what you pay for.

Frequently Asked Questions About Choosing a DUI Lawyer

Common questions people ask when deciding which lawyer to engage for traffic or criminal matters.

Why should I hire a specialist DUI lawyer instead of a general lawyer?
Specialist DUI lawyers have deep knowledge of traffic law precedents, magistrate attitudes, and proven strategies that general practitioners simply don't possess. Our lawyers appear in court daily on traffic matters, giving them insight into what works and what doesn't. This specialization can mean the difference between keeping your licence or losing it, between a conviction or a Section 10 dismissal.
How much experience does Boorman Lawyers have with DUI cases?
Our Criminal and Traffic Law solicitors have appeared on thousands of different cases throughout New South Wales and Queensland. This extensive experience means we've dealt with virtually every scenario, complication, and magistrate attitude you might encounter. We know what magistrates want to see, which rehabilitation programs carry weight, and how to present your case for the best possible outcome.
What makes Boorman Lawyers different from other traffic law firms?
Three key differences: (1) Genuine specialization - we focus exclusively on traffic and criminal law, not random matters. (2) Direct senior solicitor contact - you work directly with experienced partners, not junior staff. (3) Proven court presence - we appear in court daily, so we understand current magistrate attitudes and what strategies are working right now, not what worked years ago.
Will I be able to speak directly with the lawyer handling my case?
Absolutely. When you engage Boorman Lawyers, you'll have direct contact with the senior solicitor or partner handling your case from beginning to end. You won't be passed off to paralegals or junior staff. This ensures continuity, builds trust, and means the person who knows your case intimately is the one appearing for you in court.
How do your fixed fee costs work?
We provide upfront fixed fee quotes before you incur any costs, eliminating uncertainty about legal bills. Our fixed fees include everything - no travel costs, no photocopying charges, no surprise invoices for phone calls or emails. You'll know exactly what you're paying from day one. Our fees are competitive (typically middle-range, not the cheapest nor most expensive) and come with a Costs and Disclosure Agreement as required by the Law Society.
What should I expect to pay for legal representation on a DUI matter?
For a standard drink driving matter with a guilty plea, you should be very wary of any lawyer charging more than $3,500. Our fixed fees are reasonable and transparent. While we may cost more than general practitioners who take random matters, you're paying for genuine specialization and proven results. We're certainly not the most expensive - our fees sit around the middle of the market, but as they say, you get what you pay for.
Will you promise me a specific outcome for my case?
No - and you should be very suspicious of any lawyer who does. We're realistic and honest in our approach. Some lawyers promise the world just to get your business, but we provide honest appraisals of your situation. We'll use our experience and strategy to pursue the best possible outcome, but we'll never make impossible promises. You'll know the realistic range of outcomes from the start, not false hope followed by disappointment.
How do you prepare my case differently from other lawyers?
Our preparation is strategic and comprehensive. We know exactly which evidence and documents strengthen your case, which education courses and rehabilitation programs magistrates value, what issues to emphasize and what to avoid. After thousands of cases, we understand the subtle factors that influence sentencing. We don't just show up and hope for the best - we build a persuasive case designed specifically for the magistrate who will hear your matter.
Do you appear in court daily or just occasionally?
We appear in court daily. This constant court presence is crucial because it means we understand current magistrate attitudes, recent sentencing trends, and what's working right now. Lawyers who only appear occasionally may rely on outdated strategies or generic approaches. Our daily presence means we know the local magistrates, understand their preferences, and can tailor your case presentation accordingly.
What happens during the initial consultation?
We'll discuss your situation honestly and provide a realistic assessment of potential outcomes. We'll explain the court process, what evidence you'll need, which programs or courses would strengthen your case, and what the magistrate will be looking for. You'll receive a fixed fee quote with no obligation. Most importantly, you'll understand exactly where you stand and what your options are - no sugar-coating, no false promises.
Can you help me understand whether I should plead guilty or contest the charge?
Absolutely. This is one of the most critical decisions you'll make. We'll review the evidence against you, identify any procedural issues or technical defences, and advise whether contesting makes sense in your situation. Sometimes pleading guilty early shows remorse and can reduce penalties. Other times, there are genuine defences worth pursuing. We'll help you make an informed decision based on the specific facts of your case.
How will you communicate with me throughout the case?
We believe in full disclosure and ongoing communication. We understand this is usually a stressful, emotional, and uncertain time, so we keep you fully informed at every step. You'll have direct access to the senior lawyer handling your case - not endless voicemails or being passed between staff members. When developments occur or decisions need to be made, you'll hear directly from the person who knows your case inside and out.
