Typical Clients in Criminal
Law Matters Include...
Local Court Defence
100% Success Rate
Local court matters are non-indictable, meaning that the maximum prison sentence is usually no more than two years.
However, if you have a first offence or a number of other situations you can have a no conviction recorded.
Most lawyers overpromise this and the local courts are full of everybody seeking what is known as a “section 10”?
Speak with us and we will give you a realistic assessment and strategy.
Yes, we have a real 100% success rate but no one can guarantee that or rest on past successes. We strive to keep our success rate for your matter.
Interpol, AML, White Collar Crime
These types of matters are usually not handled by your mass Local Court criminal law firm.
We have over 30 years of experience in regulatory matters which may border on criminal charges, but the key is that we negotiate with the prosecutors, understanding exactly what the difficulty in proving certainty components of the allegations are.
We have deep compliance experience and understand international transactions including the definitions of proceeds of crime, money laundering and suspicious transactions.

Complex Tax & Regulatory Defences
Our Key Differences for Criminal Defence
Personal Attention Integrity, Certainty & Experience

The best advice we can give potential clients is to speak to a few lawyers engage their style. Do not be in a panic as the implications of being found guilty or not having successful defence may have an enormous impact on you for the rest of your life.
We do offer an obligation and stress free consultation with a senior lawyer that will represent you but if that entails the provision of advice, we have a number of options starting from $200
Consider the critical fact that the lawyer who will actually represent you is a senior lawyer and has taken the time to speak to you directly about your concerns.

Criminal Quick Facts & Fees 2023
- Because we started a criminal law division approximately seven years ago and we have seen 100% success which is remarkable. This is based on having the right people. We continue to use the same group of lawyers who are senior lawyers to handle local court matters.
- At the other extreme, our principal has had over 30 years’ experience in international and local taxation, including compliance, regulatory and white-collar crime is based on financial instruments.
- We say it like it is. We are authentic.
- We invite you to speak directly to the person that will handle your matter. That person is authorised to quote your fees and explain the strategy. Then you decide.
- Our claims are not based on a mass marketed strategy whereby we are on the top page of Google because we publish articles on useless topics every day.
- The only way to judge us is to contact us and speak to us.
- I personally don’t understand why clients choose lawyers without speaking to a number of lawyers first.
- The reason may be, is that most lawyers won’t return your calls, but their assistant may at best?
- Technically we are superb. We push the boundaries because that is our ethos. We are not scared of institutions or regulators or prosecutors. We are all individuals that fight for justice and fight for your rights the same way.
- We don’t take too many cases on, and our prices generally are higher.
- Whilst we won’t price ourselves out, our starting point is the difference we make and it will not suit everyone; especially those clients who just want a budget mass marketed lawyer that they will use once.
- Book a time or book a session with our senior criminal lawyer for obligation and stress free consultation. Don't be fooled thinking that the advice will be free, we have options from $200, but without advice and at no cost, you can get a quote and you can gauge our strategy and approach to consider whether you wish to engage us for your matter! Easy.
- We only use the most senior lawyers sometimes who have run their own firms or currently are running their own firms. It doesn’t get more senior than that. We will not use a barrister because we like to appear and be on the floor to argue your case personally. However, there may be situations we consult a barrister certainly if it is an appeal or in the District Court or if there are complex money laundering or white-collar crime questions. This will not happen in the Local Court for 95% of matters.
- Of course, his is a question that may you find yourself considering is whether you will need a barrister for your case. Whilst the difference between a barrister and solicitor may confuse some, an essential factor to remember is that normally you will be dealing with a solicitor whereas they may choose, following discussions with yourself, to instruct a barrister.
- The barrister acts on behalf of a client during a serious or complex criminal case in court. They are able to provide a high-quality level of advocacy, enhancing that of the solicitor who deals with the client. Your solicitor may raise with you that a barrister could be worthwhile to instruct in your matter, or you can raise it in discussions with your senior lawyer in order to consider whether it would be necessary.
- Call us or send a message market urgent give us your details and we will call you back pretty much within 10 minutes or maximum an hour. Sometimes certain calls fall through the cracks because we are simply too busy. Please contact us again and we will attend to matters urgently for you with our apologies. You can always change lawyers, that you have the confidence in your current lawyer, change that lawyer.
- We provide a fee estimate in writing and a detailed terms and conditions and we tell you if and how that would vary. We publish our rates we give you a detailed bill and we review things, and we review complaints if you’re not happy. We don’t like to give our client’s any surprises.
- At the other extreme, our principal has had over 30 years’ experience in international and local taxation, including compliance, regulatory and white-collar crime is based on financial instruments.
- Our experience, specialist criminal law firm is not well-placed to deal with financial or many white-collar criminal defence or allegations or investigations. You must understand specialist commercial, financial and tax law to be able to understand the elements of the investigation or the charges.
- We will use the right barristers and be able to brief the right barristers from a depth of understanding of commercial, finance and tax law.
