Contact us immediately.  We will act instantaneously and contact the police to find out where your family member or friend has been taken to ensure we provide them with the right legal advice.
If you or someone you know has been arrested but hasn’t been released after an interview by police, contact us immediately.  We can see this person in custody and start working with them to commence an application for bail as quickly as possible.  For more information contact us.

Question 3

What is the difference between a solicitor and a barrister?

Accepted Answer

A solicitor is usually the first person you call when the police want to speak to you, or after you have been charged with an offence.  Solicitors generally prepare your entire case for you, and amongst many other things:
 
•    provide you with legal advice;
•    have conferences with you, whether it be in their office or if you are in custody we will visit you in jail;
•    draft court documents and letters;
•    communicate with the courts, the police, prosecutors and forensic experts on your behalf;
•    negotiate your case with police and prosecutors;
•    obtain documents including briefs of evidence from the police;
•    instruct barristers in court and often appear in court themselves;
•    prepare briefs for barristers (i.e all the documents they require to represent your case)
 
Barristers are a type of lawyer, but their specialty is presenting your case to a Court and providing specialist advice.  They are independent from solicitors firms and are self-employed.

Question 4

What area of law do you practice?

Accepted Answer

We practice exclusively in criminal law. However, we acknowledge for a person facing criminal charges an overlay of applied law can occur and this can feel daunting. Do not stress our legal practice has built a confidential and trusted network of professionals in all areas of the law for the express purpose of serving our clients at a top standard.
