Facing Criminal Charges?

A criminal charge does not mean you have been found guilty. Everyone has the right to understand the allegations against them and receive proper legal advice before making important decisions.

  • The nature of the charges against you
  • Your rights and responsibilities
  • The possible outcomes of your matter
  • Your options for responding
  • The court process and what to expect

We provide straightforward advice without unnecessary legal jargon, helping you approach your matter with greater confidence.

How we can help

Police Investigations and Interviews

If police have contacted you or asked you to participate in an interview, it is important to understand your legal rights before responding.

We can provide advice about:

  • Whether you should participate in an interview
  • Your obligations when dealing with police
  • The potential consequences of providing information
  • How to protect your legal interests

Obtaining legal advice before making decisions can help ensure you understand your options.

Magistrates Court Representation

Many criminal matters in Western Australia are dealt with in the Magistrates Court.

We can assist with:

  • Preparing your matter for court
  • Negotiating with prosecution where appropriate
  • Pleading guilty and preparing submissions
  • Explaining court procedures
  • Representing you at hearings

Our focus is on providing practical representation and ensuring your circumstances are properly considered.

Sentencing Advice and Representation

If you have pleaded guilty or been found guilty of an offence, the sentencing process provides an opportunity for the Court to consider your personal circumstances.

We can assist by preparing submissions addressing matters such as:

  • Your personal circumstances
  • Employment and family responsibilities
  • Rehabilitation efforts
  • Relevant background information
  • Factors that may be considered by the Court

Our aim is to present your circumstances clearly and ensure the Court has a complete understanding of your situation.

Family Violence and Criminal Matters

Criminal charges arising from family and domestic situations can have serious consequences for individuals and families.

These matters may involve:

  • Allegations of assault
  • Breaches of Family Violence Restraining Orders
  • Related parenting and family law concerns
  • Potential impacts on employment and relationships

Given the overlap between criminal law and family law, obtaining advice from a solicitor experienced in both areas can provide valuable perspective.
