Charged or think you’re about to be charged for drug offences?

These types of offences are serious and not only can attract jail-time, but also can have a major impact upon your reputation, making it difficult to travel overseas and be employed by certain organisations and/or work in specific industries.

Violent offences such as assault, grievous bodily harm, wounding etc have major consequences and with these types of matters, legal advice is needed now.

These types of offences invariably attract jail-time and can escalate very quickly if legal advice is not sought.

Preventing these matters from getting to court is our key objective.

These types of offences are as serious as what they are complex, invariably with significant evidence gathering by Police. Seeking advice early will ensure that those investigations are in fact, lawful and give you every possible chance of having your matter rubbed out before it goes to court.

It’s imperative if you are charged or under investigation for domestic violence charges or related charges you seek legal help immediately. The long-standing impact of these types of charges if they stick can be massive.

These types of matters often turn on evidence, hence it’s imperative that any evidence gathering against you is conducted lawfully.
