If you or someone you know has been charged with a criminal or traffic offence, the uncertainty of what happens next can be incredibly stressful or frustrating. The role of our Brisbane criminal lawyers is to ease your mind and assist you in resolving your matter.
It is important to recognise that when you are charged with an offence, that your matter is unlikely to resolve immediately. To assist you with what can be a lengthy process, we implement a step-by-step strategy which is tailored towards achieving the best available outcome. The vital role we play is protecting your best interests. In the initial stages, we will provide you with an understanding of your rights and cautioning you against any omissions you may make in relation to your matter.
As your matter progresses, you may receive evidence which is beneficial to your case. Our experienced Brisbane criminal lawyers are able to identify evidence favourable to your defence and negotiate your matter efficiently. This may result in the charge being downgraded or dismissed. When a person self-represents themselves, they may not identify favourable evidence and be subject to penalties which can have adverse consequences.
Upon finalising your matter, if it is required to proceed to a plea, we are able to pursue the best available outcome on your behalf. Our role is to provide sophisticated advocacy, having regard to the relevant legislation and cases to assist you in achieving the best outcome. In many instances, this means avoiding the recording of a conviction and reducing the fine imposed. To receive advice from an dedicated and experienced criminal lawyer, call us on (07) 3252 2313.
