Here’s What You Need to Know.

Facing Serious Charges for Drug Offences?

If you're dealing with a drive under the influence or a drug related charge in Queensland, such as drink driving, drug driving, or possession, supply or trafficking of dangerous drugs, you need to take immediate action.

The legal process is fast, the consequences are severe, and the stakes are high. Every decision you make now could affect your licence, your record, and even your freedom.

This is not something to wait on. Police have already started building their case. Evidence is being logged. Deadlines are moving. You need legal advice now, not later.

What We Deal With

We represent clients facing serious alcohol and drug charges in Queensland, including:

- Drink driving (low, mid and high-range)

- Drug driving (saliva or blood testing offences)

- Possession of dangerous drugs, utensils or drug equipment

- Supplying, trafficking or producing dangerous drugs

- Possession with intent to supply

What happens if you’re charged

Once police are involved, everything you say or do can affect the rest of your case.

Police Interviews

You have the right to remain silent.

If police have charged you, questioned you, or want you to participate in an interview, here’s what matters:

- You only have to give police your full name, current address and date of birth

- For traffic matters, you may be required to give driver’s licence details

- Beyond that, you do not have to answer any other questions

- You do not have to explain yourself. You do not have to participate in an interview

- You are entitled to legal advice before deciding whether to speak at all

Police interviews are optional.

They're not a discussion.

They’re evidence collection.

Saying the wrong thing even casually can damage your case.

With a warrant, police can search your person or premises. Without one, they must have a reasonable belief that you’re carrying something illegal.

You’ll be processed at the watch house, photographed, fingerprinted, and held while police decide whether to grant you bail.

- If bail is granted, you’ll be issued with your bail undertaking, including conditions you must follow.

- If bail is refused, you’ll be held until you’re brought before a Magistrate, usually the same or next day.

Police are more likely to refuse bail if they believe you’re a repeat offender, a flight risk, or a danger to the community.

Silence is not guilt. It’s protection. And it's your legal right.

Why Early Legal Advice Matters

The legal system doesn’t wait. What happens in the first 24 hours can shape the entire outcome.

If you’re charged, the smartest thing you can do is get advice before anything else happens.
