Criminal and Traffic Law Services

Police charges can be stressful and confusing. At North Waikato Law, we provide down-to-earth, practical legal advice to help you navigate the prosecution process.

Traffic Law
A driving offence can have serious consequences, especially in a region where staying on the road is essential for work and family life. We provide expert support across a wide range of traffic matters, helping you understand your rights and working to achieve the best possible outcome.

  • Drink Driving and Traffic Charges – Advice and representation for all levels of drink driving and traffic offences, from first appearances through to sentencing or trial.
  • Demerit Point Suspensions – If you're facing a 3-month suspension due to demerit points, talk to us about your options and possible remedies.
  • Work Licences (Limited Licences) – If losing your licence means losing your job, we may be able to help you apply for a limited licence so that you can keep working.

Criminal Court Representation
When it comes to Police charges, having a calm, experienced advocate on your side makes all the difference. We represent clients in the District Courts and negotiate with the Police on all criminal matters. We aim to minimise your stress and get the best possible outcome.

  • Discharge Without Conviction – We can help you apply for a discharge if a conviction would cause out-of-proportion consequences for your future.
  • Sentencings – Our team presents clear, persuasive submissions on your behalf to ensure your side of the story is heard.
  • Defended Hearings & Judge Alone Trials – If you choose to defend the charges, we will prepare your case thoroughly and represent you in front of a judge or jury.
