Step 1: Focus on firms that specialise in traffic law
Law is broad. Be cautious of firms that dabble across many areas. Look for a team that specialises in NSW traffic law and understands charges, defences, and sentencing options like demerit points and licence suspensions.
Step 2: Ask for help
Get recommendations from friends or family. You can also use the Law Society of NSW Register of Solicitors to find practitioners with traffic law focus in Sydney and across NSW.
Step 3: Research firm reputation
Check a firm’s site for recent recognition and client outcomes in traffic matters like PCA, speeding or dangerous driving. Read Google reviews to gauge client experience. Shortlist individual lawyers who stand out and review their bios for relevant case work. See our guides on drink driving (PCA) and speeding.
Step 4: Review lawyer expertise and experience
Read lawyer profiles to confirm specific expertise in your charge type and court level. Look for experience with licence appeals, sentencing advocacy and local court practice in NSW. Choose someone you feel comfortable with and who explains the process clearly.
Step 5: Schedule a meeting
Arrange an initial discussion to outline your case, timelines and strategy. Ask about likely outcomes, plea options, evidence needs and fees. Use the meeting to assess rapport, responsiveness and clarity. A strong working relationship matters, especially if your matter runs over several listings.
