Working with Christopher Sheen
My mission is to achieve a successful outcome for each case. For some, keeping a driving licence is important, and for others, it's avoiding a conviction. As a Melbourne traffic lawyer, I will listen to you to understand your needs, the case, and how I can best help you achieve the best possible outcome.
Unlike other traffic offence lawyers in Melbourne, I am also a qualified mediator with over 15 years of experience working with the Victoria Police. I can work with police and prosecutors to negotiate for the best results on your case. My extensive background with Victoria Police also gives me a unique, in-depth understanding of traffic law cases and the processes involved.
Frequently Asked Questions
Whether or not you will have a criminal conviction record will depend on the outcome of the case. You can be found guilty but still have no conviction recorded if the court deems it appropriate. When considering the sentence, the court will take into account the nature of the offence, whether the offender has a history of similar offences, and the degree of responsibility the offender has shown. This is considered a favourable outcome as having a criminal record can affect future employment, travel, and insurance needs.
As an experienced Melbourne traffic lawyer, I have a track record of minimising the legal repercussions of the charges faced by my clients and ensuring the best outcome.
