It doesn't matter whether it's a fine for speeding, a driving under the influence charge, or a licence disqualification; traffic charges in Queensland can be very serious. Most people do not realise how much impact a traffic offence can have—until they find themselves with large fines, a criminal conviction, or even imprisonment. That is where a skilled Sunshine Coast traffic lawyer can step in and help.

At Trianon Law, Our expert advice for those who are charged with traffic offences in the Sunshine Coast area. With extensive local knowledge and strong expertise in Queensland traffic law, our lawyers are dedicated to securing the best result possible—whether the charge appears small or severe.

3.DUI (Drink Driving) or Drug Driving

4.Driving disqualified or suspended

5.Dangerous or negligent driving

6.Not stopping at red lights or stop signs

1.Disqualification of licence

2.Sizable fines

3.Community service

4.Release or punishment

5.Imprisonment
