Disqualified or suspended, and the job depends on driving?
We prepare, support, and file the whole application, right the first time, so you're back on the road as soon as the law allows. Any court in New Zealand.
Caught over the limit, and dreading what comes next?
Relax. We've seen it all. One phone appointment tells you what you're facing, what your options are, and what it costs from there. No judgement.
Would a conviction end your job, your registration, or your visa?
A section 106 discharge without conviction: the charge is proved, but no conviction goes on your record. Melanie wins 70%+ of these; each one's on its own merits.
Caught driving while disqualified or suspended?
Another disqualification is mandatory, and a limited licence can't help this time. Section 94 asks the court for community work instead, so you keep earning.
Careless driving, speeding, running a red?
The charge written at the roadside isn't always the charge you're convicted of. Straight answers from a barrister who knows what the police will move on.
Charged, and not sure what happens next?
Assault, theft, drugs, wilful damage. What happens between now and your court date decides how this ends. Melanie reads your file and tells you straight what's realistic.
Answer the questions as best you can, and leave blank what you don't know.
Everybody expects lawyers to be loud. Melanie is soft spoken, listens before she advises, and after more than 30 years in traffic and criminal law she still does the legal work herself: the advice, the calls to the prosecutor, the submissions, the appearance in court. The barrister you speak to is the barrister who turns up.
Ring and we'll take down what's happened and get Melanie's direction back to you fast. And you talk to Melanie herself when you need to, by phone, wherever you are.
Whether it's your first time or you're on a first-name basis with the court staff, we're not here to judge. We're here to sort it and keep you moving forward.
One call tells you where you stand and what it will cost. Sleepless nights are not necessary if you think ahead.
