Criminal Law

For more serious and complicated matters, we have teamed up with high profile barristers to ensure that your matter is well looked after, leaving no stone unturned. We will not simply tell you to plead guilty to get your matter over and done with.
 
Our staff often hear stories of clients seeing lawyers who simply tell them to plead guilty as they will only get a slap on the wrist with little to no consequences. We cannot stress the importance of finding the right lawyer to will act in your best interest to either fight against your charges or who will make detailed submissions to guilty pleas. There is a common misconception that you can just get a “duty lawyer” to plead guilty for you to make the adequate submissions. Whilst duty lawyers have a vital role in the criminal justice system, duty lawyers often do not have the report that private lawyers will have with you. Articulating a good sentencing submission for you can sometimes be the difference between serving time in jail or avoiding a term of imprisonment. For that reason, it is well advised to seek the right lawyer to act for your criminal matter.
 
At Law Lawyers & Associates, we understand that people are often unfairly charged for an offence that they either did not commit, or the charges are more severe than what was actually done. We ensure that we review all police prosecution evidence against you before we provide you with in-depth legal advice and options. While we understand that going to court can be very anxious and stressful for all parties concerned, we step through the process with you.
 
If you are suffering from financial hardship, let our team know and we may agree to either cap your legal fees or enter into some other agreement that you are comfortable with.
