Our criminal law team has a wide range of experience in defending serious crimes like murder, rape and drug trafficking as well as the more common assaults, drug possession and frauds.
We have experience in both state and federal criminal law and can assist you from the very moment that you become aware that you have become a person of interest for investigating officials through to any trial in any court.
We can advise on what steps to take when you are asked to assist police with their inquiries and whether or not a record of interview should be given. We can advise you not just what your rights are, but how to exercise them in a meaningful way.
We can assist with bail applications as well as all stages of the criminal process (arrest, detention, committal, trial and appeal). Our criminal law team has had extensive experience in the local criminal courts and defended in many high profile cases including those involving foreign nationals.
Our rates are competitive and represent real value for money. If you cannot afford to defend yourself, we can assist with the obtaining of a grant of aid through Legal Aid Queensland (note – grants of aid are not always available and we will advise you if you are not eligible).
Where necessary we will engage skilled, experienced and professional counsel to appear in the courts on your behalf.
Our professional criminal law team can help you to defend criminal applications by State and Federal governments. We have experience in responding to such applications where the subject property comprises millions of dollars.
Where you wish to plead guilty we can assist by advising you of the consequence of doing so and representing you to ensure that you receive the maximum benefit from that plea. We have significant experience in regards to allegations of breaches of domestic violence orders and can assist you to defend the imposition of a domestic violence order by taking the matter to a hearing.
Traffic offences may not be criminal but they carry significant consequences for many, including the loss of licence. Our lawyers can represent you to defend traffic infringements, to appeal against cancellations or to obtain a restricted licence where a disqualification may be applied [not always available - restrictions apply to the grant].
Our team is waiting to help you.
