Frequently Asked Questions

As soon as possible, ideally before you speak to police. Early advice protects your rights and your options.
What are the best defences to a criminal charge?
It depends on the evidence. Common defences include challenging the search, the identification or the reliability of witnesses.
Will I have a criminal record?
Not necessarily. Many charges can be withdrawn, diverted or resolved without a conviction.
What happens at a bail hearing?
The court decides whether you can be released while the case proceeds, and on what conditions.

Often your lawyer can appear for you on early dates. We will tell you when your attendance is required.
