Criminal Defence

It is important to take immediate action and develop a strong defence to resolve your criminal charges with the best possible outcome from pre-trial, trail and appeals. We represent our clients from trials to appeals and ensure that they receive professional advice and representation to defend their rights and freedom.

There are two broad categories in criminal law: the withdrawal/reduction of charges and mitigation of guilty pleas, and a full defence to criminal charges.

In the first category, clients may agree that they are guilty in the circumstances but find the charges excessive. We will then represent our clients to get the charges withdrawn or reduced. If our clients then proceed to plead guilty, we will assist them in the sentencing process.

In the second category, clients do not agree to the charges and want to prove their innocence. In this case, we will represent our client throughout the process of criminal litigation; all the way to trial, and thereafter to appeal, if necessary.
