Have you been charged with a criminal offence, a traffic matter, or become the subject of an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) Application to the Court ?

We can help.

 

With over 20 years experience in the criminal law, we can advise you on your charge and penalties and seek the best possible outcome for you. We will guide you through every step of the process, from our interview with you, to attending at Court, and after Court. Our solicitors have experience in all levels of criminal work from major matters such as murder,sexual assaults, and fraud to less serious charges such as shoplifting and offensive language.

We will advise you regarding the Law and Court procedure and explain to you exactly what you can expect will happen at Court. After discussion with you we can ( as needed ) plead Not Guilty and defend the charge on your behalf or, plead Guilty and have the matter dealt with swiftly and effectively.

We are at Court regularly regarding AVOs.and can assist you in dealing with these often confusing Court appearances.

We attend Ryde Courthouse constantly. This gives us the advantage of having appeared in front of the regular Presiding Magistrate on many occasions and gaining a familiarity with their requirements and attitude.We also travel to other Courts as required by our clients.

 

Our recent experience reresenting people facing Court for Drink Driving charges ( often known as DUI ( Driving Under the Influence )and PCA ( Prescribed Concentration of Alcohol ) is that many people fail to appreciate the often severe penalties avalable to the Court,especially in cases of High Range PCA ( a blood alcohol reading of .015 or higher ).As a result of the recent Guideline Judgment of the Court of Criminal Appeal a gaol sentence is now a very real possibility depending upon the individual circumstances of each case.For an example of this please see our News and Info Section
