Confiscation and vehicle impoundment matters
Pre-interview advice, if police have made a request for details, information or an interview with you

Will I have to go to court?

The answer to this question depends on whether you have been put on bail or appear by court pursuant to a notice. You should always be clear on whether you need to be at court, as you could have an arrest warrant issued if you aren’t there: Contact us to get some advice about your specific circumstances.

If you were meant to go to court and didn’t, you should immediately contact us for advice.

Are traffic offences public record?

Traffic charges are generally heard in “open court”. This means members of the public can go into the courtroom and hear the case. Usually the only people in the gallery of the courtroom are also there for the same reason as you.

If your charge results in a conviction, there might be an opportunity to ask the court to declare that conviction as “spent”. Our team of criminal lawyers can make an argument for this on your behalf (please contact us to ask whether this is an option for you).

If your conviction is not declared “spent”, the only way someone can see that conviction is if they obtain access to your criminal record through application (like if you consent to a criminal and traffic history check when applying for a job, for example).

The way you represented us, your professionalism, and support was excellent. I was really impressed with the way you spoke to the judge about the accident details and how you turned the case around. We understand both parties were at fault, but without having you in our corner the result would have been a lot different. It was a very stressful situation for us both, and the support you gave us is something we will remember. Thank you so very much.

Dianne has been an incredible help through my separation and I really appreciate all the work she has done, her approach to it all and her high level of knowledge.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your help and expertise in helping me out on my situation. You all have been very professional and easy to talk to, putting my mind at rest. I can’t recommend you and your services enough. Thank you HHG.

We are delighted and more than satisfied with the service provided by Aimee at HHG Mandurah.

Ours was a complex estate transaction that I was a little nervous about. I needn’t have worried. Aimee explained the complexities of the process with great clarity with the fee structures being totally transparent and clearly itemised. I will be forever grateful to Aimee and the HHG staff for their professionalism and competence.

We could rest easy knowing we were in safe hands.

Grant.

Thank you so so very much from the bottom of our hearts for all that you and your team have done Aimee.

Can’t say I am not relieved to not see an email from you but I will be in touch soon to sort our wills out. Lesson learned on that part!

Kerrilee.

Thank you so much for all you have done to assist us through this very complex journey, Aimee.

You made this process so much easier for us to navigate, especially with all of the really complicated legal requirements. You genuinely took some pressure off us when life was happening around us.
