Are you wondering if you can appeal a decision to suspend your licence? While you can’t appeal all licence suspensions, some driving and traffic offences, such as speed limit violations, can be appealed. Contact James & Jaramillo today to get the expert consultation you will need for a licence appeal. We can help you appeal your licence suspension from Sydney’s CBD to South-West Sydney.
If an accumulation of demerit points has caused you to receive a suspended licence, you can appeal your licence suspension. However, you need to act fast. The RMS allows you to appeal the decision 28 days after receiving the written notice of suspension.
This is a stringent deadline and can only be appealed under exceptional circumstances. Contact James and Jaramillo for expert legal advice and a free face-to-face consultation.
Receiving a notice of suspension can be a frightening experience, primarily when you and your family rely on your ability to drive.
Your inability to drive can negatively impact many aspects of your life, so we understand you want to resolve this issue and get back on the road.
You need to craft a successful appeal to get back on the road as quickly as possible. A successful appeal must provide strong evidence to support reinstating your suspended licence.
Crafting a solid appeal takes time and preparation. You may be tempted to go it alone. While we are sure you are more than capable of submitting a successful appeal, let our team of traffic lawyers help increase your odds of success.
You usually only get one chance to appeal; get it right the first time by calling the best licence appeal lawyer Sydney has to offer.
The court will not just rubber-stamp your licence suspension. Instead, the court will likely consider several factors before deciding on your appeal.
Some of the considerations made by the court include:
It would be best to act immediately and begin the appeal process whether you decide to appeal a licence suspension on your own or through a licence appeal lawyer.
Here are the steps to filing an appeal:
You can access the appeal form by creating an account on the online government registry.
When you log in, select the appropriate appeal form.
Fill in the relevant sections and submit the appeal form. Note that there may be a fee for filing the appeal.
Gather all relevant documents to support your case and prepare for court.
When you submit your appeal, you will be given a date and time to appear in court. When you go to court, you will present your supporting documents. After you submit your case, the court will make a decision.
Be sure to arrive on time, or the court may dismiss your case or decide against you.

Please take a look at what our satisfied clients have to say.
For a woman, it is very difficult to deal with harassment, stalking and intimidation. Last year, I have applied for APVO against my neighbour.
Although I had CCTV footages and other evidence, to actually go through the whole court process is stressful, especially because I decided to represent myself in the court. Once I stepped into the legal process the realization hit me that having evidence may not be enough to win and protect myself from the defendant. When you represent yourself, the defendant’s solicitor sees that as an easy winning for his client and uses intimidation tactics.
I have contacted several solicitors but was put off by their emotionlessness approach. I contacted Jonathan Jaramillo from James and Jaramillo Lawyers who offered free first consultation. Comprehensive information offered by Jonathan was very impressive. He listened attentively and took time to answer my questions. He did not tell me what I wanted to hear, but what I needed to hear. I decided to represent myself and asked Jonathan if he would guide me and advise me throughout the process. This would be more cost-effective for me. Regardless of the size of the case, Jonathan was from the beginning to the end extremely professional, prompt and kind. He explained everything clearly making me feel confident with the legal process.
I have managed to get Interim Order in the early stage of the process-mention, which was protecting me till the final hearing in March 2024 when I won the case. This outcome could not have been achieved without working with Jonathan and his professional guidance. I can’t speak highly enough about Jonathan Jaramillo and recommend him for anyone who is looking for a good, responsive and reliable solicitor, and a genuine person.
