Getting sound legal advice from the outset matters more than almost anything else.
We advise and represent clients across a broad range of criminal law matters in Australian courts. The following are the areas we most commonly assist with, though this list is not exhaustive.
Traffic matters represent one of the most common categories of criminal charges in Australia — and the consequences of a conviction can extend well beyond a fine, including licence disqualification, demerit points, and impacts on employment. We advise on drink and drug driving, speeding, and careless and dangerous driving.

Drug charges span a wide spectrum — from minor possession matters to more serious supply and trafficking charges. The applicable law, penalties, and available defences vary significantly depending on the substance, quantity, and jurisdiction. We advise on the nature of the charge, applicable sentencing considerations, and the availability of diversion programs for eligible first-time offenders.
Domestic violence charges — including breaches of protection orders, assault in a domestic context, and stalking — are treated seriously by Australian courts and prosecutors. We advise both those charged with domestic violence offences and those seeking legal protection. Where a criminal matter intersects with a family law situation, our experience across both areas of practice is particularly valuable.
Being refused bail — or being subject to restrictive bail conditions — can have immediate and serious consequences for your employment, family, and wellbeing. We make bail applications in the Magistrates Court and, where necessary, in the Supreme Court, presenting the strongest available case for your release on appropriate conditions. Bail applications often need to be made urgently.
