WHY CHOOSE US?

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

{We contacted Highway Advocates at what was the hardest time in our lives. Facing a serious charge with a potential prison sentence, we were at wits end. Having had no previous dealings with law firms we were unsure where to start and what to expect in the coming weeks and months in the lead up to the court case. The team at Highway Advocates supported us and kept us up to date with all details as they came to hand. Robert was truthful and direct in his communication so there were no surprises, we knew what to expect at the end of the hearing. Robert and his team provided a holistic service, not only supporting and guiding us through the legal system but also ensuring we looked after our mental health and wellbeing along the way. The outcome at the end of it meant we start to rebuild our lives with no prison walls. I cannot thank Robert and his team at Highway Advocates enough. If you are ever in trouble, give these guys a call.

I would just like to give the team Highway Advocates and Robert Bell a massive thank you. The way they handled my case and my employee’s case it was first class If we didn’t have them on our side we would have been looking at a massive fine for nothing from the RMS over a logbook breach Thanks again I would definitely recommend the team.

Excellent service, extremely knowledgeable and worldly lawyers with a genuine care for the clients they are representing. I could not recommend Jean, Robert or Caroline enough for their services. An outstanding result was achieved that I still cannot believe a week later. Thank you for your help.

How pleased I am of the outcome! The NHVR were heavy-handed in issuing an infringement without taking into account the circumstances HIGHWAY ADVOCATES were then requested to defend me in court. After the initial consultation, which was outside normal office hours a personal relationship developed with Robert & Caroline. What more could you want then to have the case dismissed which I put down to Robert’s past experience in transport I cannot praise HIGHWAY ADVOCATES enough. I highly recommend Thanks, Robert Thanks, Caroline

We’d heard Rob talking on Triple M and got I in touch over a logbook fine. They got straight on to it, and the authorities ended up withdrawing everything after Rob showed it was wrongly issued. Very much appreciated

So went to court copped a 20k fine with no lawyer, then applied to appeal the case got Rob involved to look after it all was easy to work with. Went to court last Friday and ended up with only a $3300 fine. As the RMS was really trying to screw me over by telling the court that I can only curry 33t and not my PBS weight . When my driver took the wrong turn of that made a big difference thank you Rob. For all drivers out there when pulled over from RMS do not say or tell them what anything about your business is or let them take photos or in your truck. Thank you Rob

A very professional approach to what is becoming a serious issue for all road users, especially those who travel a lot of Km, and need to keep their license. Advice is well researched, The company is upfront regarding fees and allowed me the client to make the decision to proceed without pressure based on clear information and honest review of the likely outcome. I am most grateful for their assistance.

Clarissa

Without the legal assistance of Highway Advocates I was looking at fines of $47,688, the loss of 11 points, the possibility of being uninsurable and therefore out of business. With a clever legal strategy devised to ameliorate the impact of what is poor legislation full of anomaly, ambiguity and disparity Robert Bell was able to have the court see reason and have the court give a minimal punishment befitting my good heavy vehicle driving record. I received dismissals of all charges and fines subject to a modest court requirement of not appearing before the court on charges of a similar nature within 12 months. I can highly recommend the services of Highway Advocates if you have a conflict with National Heavy Vehicle Law.

Just wanted to thank Robert Bell for the awesome results as I really expected to lose my licence considering I was up for a loss of 12 demerits plus fines Thanks to Robert Bell and his team at highway advocates not only did I manage to keep my licence I also got a reduction in demerits and well a drop in fines as well. I was also lucky to have the matter adjourned long enough to save enough money should it all have gone pear shaped. Robert you have an awesome service and I thank you for all the help you afforded me in this matter. Although I hope to never need your service in the future I will definitely call should I face any legal issues truck wise. Thanks again
