In Bundaberg, we regularly handle drink driving charges, drug possession matters, domestic violence allegations, assault charges, theft and fraud cases, and traffic offences.

Whether it's a simple traffic matter or serious indictable offences, local court knowledge makes the difference between keeping your licence, job and freedom, or losing everything.
Queensland criminal penalties are severe and life-changing. Drink driving can result in licence disqualification from 1 month to 9 months for first offences, up to $3,200 in fines, and possible imprisonment. Drug possession carries fines up to $2,300 and potential criminal conviction. Assault charges can result in imprisonment up to 3 years and significant fines.
