Criminal defense

Practice area

Criminal defense

If you or a family member has been arrested, charged or served with a notice, the first hours matter more than any other part of the case. We answer urgent criminal enquiries the same day, including weekends.

What we do first

We establish what has actually been alleged, what the police or prosecutor holds, and whether bail can be applied for immediately. You will get a clear explanation of the charge and the realistic range of outcomes before any decision is made about plea.

Trial and appeal

Where a matter goes to trial we prepare the defence file in full — witness statements, disclosure requests, expert instruction where needed — and we appear for you. We also take appeals against conviction and sentence.
