WATLING ROCHE LAWYERS – DELIVERING BETTER RESULTS TO OUR CLIENTS
Watling Roche Lawyers have gone above and beyond in my son’s criminal law matter. They have been very supportive, empathetic, professional and we are extremely pleased at the outcome they achieved. The entire time, we felt like they had everything under control. We highly recommend the entire team (especially Ryan Roche) to anyone in need of legal Assistance.
I was treated with dignity and respect, there was always an update on my situation and Ryan Roche worked tirelessly to achieve an outcome which was beyond my expectations.
We would like to share our thanks to Ryan – our Solicitor for a criminal matter which he dealt with on our behalf. We are very pleased with the outcome and the cost of the overall procedure. We would recommend the team from Watling Roche Lawyers to anyone who may need legal help for any reason.
I highly commend Ryan Roche for his professionalism and diligence. I had considered other solicitors before choosing Watling Roche Lawyers and glad I made the right decision for Ryan to handle my case from start to finish. As cliché as it may sound; Ryan has an excellent attention to detail. Further, Ryan answered all my calls/texts/emails promptly and was courteous throughout the process. Ryan settled my mind at ease for what was the most stressful time I have experienced. Ryan is a true advocate and I cannot thank him enough for his time, patience, respect and diligence throughout, what would have been an immensely intense/stressful time had I not sought/enlisted his services. Thank you Ryan.
I can’t thank Ryan enough, for his work with my partner’s case, I rang with little notice and he pulled it all together, even with last minute submissions from the prosecutor, he pulled off the best possible outcome for him. It wasn’t about the money for him because his fees were incredibly low considering others. He genuinely showed compassion and commitment above and beyond what he needed, I felt a lot less stressed knowing my partner had Ryan in his corner today. And I hope when I finish my law degree I can be even half the lawyer he is. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Ryan provided great representation during the whole ordeal. I was never in the dark as to what was happening and he worked around my schedule, which was a huge help!
Ryan Roche recently represented me for a traffic offence. From first contact to the final sentencing, I never felt once that I was in the dark or uninformed. I was always updated and appreciated all of the support and guidance Ryan provided. I would highly recommend Ryan!

Are you eligible for a work licence?
If you are found guilty of drink or drug driving you will be disqualified from driving for a certain period of time. The law states that you must be disqualified from driving for a minimum period of time before you can drive again. The Magistrate cannot overrule the minimum disqualification periods, however there are limited circumstances where you may be able to apply for a work licence.
What happens at court?
Going to court can be frightening. The problem for many people is that they are not familiar with what happens at court. There is a process to follow and the last thing anyone wants is to make a fool of themselves in front of a Magistrate or Judge. After all, what you choose to do or say in court can change the outcome, for better or worse.
Driving with medical marijuana in your system
Can you drive with medicinal cannabis/marijuana in your system? The answer is both yes and no, and it depends on whether you have consumed cannabidiol (CBD) medication or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) medication and most importantly whether your ability to drive has been impaired.
