"I was panicking. The program walked me through everything — the submissions I built felt professional. The magistrate was clearly impressed I came prepared. I got a fine and a disqualification period, which was exactly what I was expecting."

★★★★★

"A lawyer wanted $3,800. For $330 I had a checklist, a written submission, and a full guide on what to say. I represented myself in Beenleigh Magistrates Court and left with a fine — no conviction recorded."

QLDHigh-range drink driving
★★★★★

"I knew I was going to lose my licence. What I didn't know was how to speak for myself in court. DIY DUI gave me the confidence and the words. The magistrate commented on how well-prepared I was."
