I can’t recommend Highway Advocates highly enough. From the very first call, they understood the complexities of heavy vehicle law and gave me clear, practical advice without any confusing legal jargon. Their team was professional, approachable, and genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for my case.
What impressed me most was their in-depth knowledge of transport and heavy vehicle regulations – they knew the industry inside and out, which gave me a lot of confidence. They kept me updated every step of the way and fought hard to protect my licence and livelihood.
If you’re in the transport industry and need legal support, Highway Advocates is absolutely the firm to have on your side. They go above and beyond, and I’ll definitely turn to them again if I ever need legal help in the future.

The highway advocate took on a case on my behalf that I would not have thought it could have been brought to a successful conclusion, while I still have pay two small fines, they had another 65 charges dismissed with no conviction a good thing.

My partner was up for $19000 of fines and loss of license, got in contact with Rod Boyd and he walked away with no fines, no loss of points and a good behavior of 4 months and kept his license. Couldn't ask for a better out come.

I faced a potential maximum penalty of $18,940 and a licence crushing 4 demerit points upon conviction. The outcome this professional solicitors achieved for me was no conviction or fine, and zero loss of demerit points.
Simply the best!

My partner was up for $70k worth of fines and 15 demerits due to mistakes in his logbook. We got in contact with Rod Boyd and his team and amazingly he walked away with no fines, no demerits and good behaviour for 6 months. Couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. Thank you to the very professional team at highway advocates. Would highly recommend

I went to Gosford Court without representation which likely contributed to a poor outcome. A few weeks later, I was reminded of Highway Advocates and decided to appeal. The matter was settled at the Newcastle District Court and the monetary fine imposed was exactly 1 tenth of the original! My only regret was not engaging sooner with Highway Advocates in the lower court and so I would not hesitate to recommend or further utilise this professional team.
