Criminal proceedings carry serious consequences

A criminal charge affects your freedom, your work and your record. Our criminal practice provides legal assistance and representation while protecting the rights and interests of the accused.

Time matters in criminal work. A bail application brought early and prepared properly can change the course of a matter. If a family member has been arrested, phone the office as soon as you can.

We approach criminal matters strategically, with close attention to the facts, the docket and the evidence. You will be told what the State must prove and how your defence will be put.
