Criminal Law

We specialise in criminal law and provide criminal defence services. If you are facing criminal charges, we will protect your legal rights, represent your interests and provide practical advice.

We can assist you at each and all stages of criminal prosecution, whether it is:

During police interview and statements for an offence they allege you have committed
When you have been charged by police or any other prosecuting authority
When you are required to appear in a criminal court

Conducting your trial
Carrying out your sentencing

We understand that facing criminal charges can be a stressful experience. It is important to understand that you are innocent until proven otherwise. We will ensure that your rights are protected and that you get a fair trial.

We are available to inform you of your rights prior to police interview whether you are under arrest or have attended the police station voluntarily. We will guide you through the legal process and ensure that you are in a position to give informed instructions for best possible outcome of your case.

We have a strong sense of justice and will advocate for your legal rights.
