Steven Brough · Founder · 25+ years in Queensland courts
Meet the founder
Sixteen years ago, Steven Brough decided people facing traffic charges deserved better.
When Steven opened the firm in 2010, he kept seeing the same thing: ordinary people facing their first-ever charge, paying big-city prices to lawyers who ran a traffic matter once a month — and walking into court with no idea what was about to happen. He built this firm to be the opposite:
That focus is why we're so well thought of. Our lawyers stand in Queensland Magistrates Courts every week — we know the magistrates, the prosecutors, and exactly what a well-prepared plea is worth. Over 5,000 matters and many five-star reviews later, we're the firm other lawyers refer their traffic charges to.
We know you're worried — about your family, your job, your licence, and what this all means. That's exactly why we exist: to give you honest, clear answers and fight for the best possible result. You don't have to carry the stress alone.
Over the years Steven watched inexperienced lawyers destroy clients' lives — not out of bad intent, but because they simply didn't understand traffic law, didn't know what could realistically be achieved, and had no relationship with the prosecutor or magistrate deciding the matter. A general lawyer who runs one traffic matter a month misses the arguments that shorten a disqualification or save a licence. We only do this, in these courts, every week — and that difference is measured in months off the road and convictions avoided.

“Clarity Law have been nothing short of amazing helping our family recently navigate the legal system. Sarah and Jack were both very easy to work with and whilst some of the news we received was difficult to process they delivered it with compassion and explained it in terms that we clearly understood. We were happy with the final outcome and would have no hesitation in recommending Clarity Law, particularly Jack or Sarah, to anyone else faced with a similar situation.”
Kirsty Shields — Google review
“I contacted Clarity Law when my son needed legal representation. From the very first contact all emails and conversation were supportive and efficient. No delays in receiving information and all information in a clear and easy language for people like myself unfamiliar with legal terms. Having this firm assist my son through the court process made a huge difference at a difficult time. I know that anyone needing legal representation will not be disappointed if they choose Clarity Law.”
Beverley Archibald — Google review
“Jacob and Belinda were very professional in they way they helped me with my Hardship Order made its stress free. Belinda was amazing with calming me down and attention to detail every step before court as I was mentally stressed and worried what the final outcome. I couldn’t complain about the outcome was far better than I thought as I was thinking the worst. Jacob caring and guidance before court and during court was very professional and calming. I would recommend anyone after a traffic Lawyer use Clarity Law! Thanks again Belinda for everything you did to accommodate our needs”

Frequently asked questions
Answers before you even pick up the phone.
Will I go to jail for drink driving?
For a first offence, it’s very unlikely. Most matters end with a fine and a disqualification period — and good preparation makes both smaller. We’ll give you an honest range for your exact reading.
Do I really need a lawyer for a traffic charge?
You can appear alone — but the magistrate hears dozens of these a day, and preparation is what shortens disqualifications and fines. A prepared plea routinely pays for itself.
Which courts do you cover?
Magistrates Courts across South East Queensland and beyond — our lawyers appear in 26 Queensland courts every week, from Brisbane to Bundaberg.
Can I keep driving for work?
Often, yes. A work or hardship licence — or negotiation with the prosecutor — lets many of our clients keep driving for their job. Eligibility depends on your licence, history and charge — one call tells you if you qualify.
How do your fixed fees work?
One price, in writing, before you commit. It covers preparation, submissions, dealing with the prosecutor, and a lawyer beside you in court. No hourly billing, ever.
