Charges We Assist With

Assault Charges

If you have been charged or accused of an offence involving assault, then what you do next can make a significant difference to the outcome of that charge.

In most cases, there are usually two considerations when assessing an assault charge. The first consideration is the nature of the assault and the force that was applied by the person charged to the complainant. The second consideration is whether the assault was lawful as it may be justified or excused by law, or how the assault might be mitigated.

As there are different types of assault charges and that each charge is unique to the facts, we recommend speaking to a criminal lawyer so that you may receive advice tailored to your situation.

Traffic Offences

A person’s ability to drive is not regarded as a right or a freedom. To be able to drive, a person must have completed the necessary learner driver hours, applied for a licence, and complied with the conditions of that licence and that imposed by the law.

While driving under the influence may seem like an insignificant offence compared to other offences, the penalties are not. If you have been charged with a traffic offence, the consequences may potentially impact your reputation and employment.

If you have been charged with a traffic offence, we recommend seeking tailored advice to your situation from one of our lawyers.

Aegis Criminal Law FAQs

The criminal justice system in Queensland requires Prosecutions to prove the charge against you beyond a reasonable doubt. While this a high standard, it is not an impossible one. Many people who have been where you are will choose to plead guilty. Unfortunately, doing so without proper consideration can have serious consequences. Our role may be to assist you with avoiding a criminal record or worse, a term of imprisonment.

Our role is to pursue the best available outcome while navigating the justice system. You can be assured that our knowledge and experience will assist you in arriving at the best available outcome. If you want serious and dedicated legal representation for your matter, call Aegis Criminal law today. We will provide you with an initial advice session free of charge.

Can I Represent Myself?

We do not recommend self-representing, even if you have been charged with a minor traffic or criminal offence. The cost of not knowing the relevant procedures and applicable law can be costly and have a detrimental impact upon your livelihood and even your employment.

It is likely to be detrimental as you may not know how to respond to the Prosecutor’s argument in Court. It is usually the role of the Prosecutor to advise the court of the charge, the facts and the penalty they are seeking. This penalty though will not take into account your personal circumstances and may not be proportional. However, if you are represented by our firm, we will advise the Court of any and all relevant circumstances, including the underlying circumstances of the offence, as well as the impact this offence has had on your livelihood. When you receive representation and your personal circumstances are addressed, you are more likely to receive a desirable outcome for your matter.

When you engage Aegis Criminal Law, you are not only receiving our expertise, but our ability to effectively advocate for the best available outcome on your behalf. We have experience in arguing for a conviction not to be recorded and obtaining the best available outcomes across a range of charges.

Do I Have a Right to Silence?

As the old adage goes, you are innocent until proven guilty. In Queensland, it is well recognised that you may exercise your right to silence in relation to an allegation or charge. The rationale for this is that prosecution must prove the charge against you beyond a reasonable doubt. There is no requirement on you to prove your innocence.

We recognise that being questioned by police in relation to any criminal, traffic or domestic violence matter can be incredibly stressful. In these circumstances, an attempt to excuse or justify what occurred may lead to self-incrimination and impact upon your defence.

If you have been questioned by police, you may be required to provide your name and address. However, in relation to the allegation, we strongly recommend exercising your right to silence until you have obtained legal advice.

Am I Required to Attend Court?

If you have been charged with a traffic or criminal offence and are yet to appear, then you will be required to appear in the Magistrates Court. In Queensland, all traffic and criminal charges are initiated out of the Magistrates Court and a majority will resolve in this jurisdiction.

On your first court appearance, if you have bene given a Notice to Appear, then you will be required to attend to obtain bail. Failing to appear may result in a warrant being issued for your arrest. If you have concerns about appearing, we recommend obtaining legal advice.

Our Brisbane criminal lawyers at Aegis Criminal Law have experience regularly appearing in the Magistrates, District and Supreme Court. If you have been charged and would like assistance with your first appearance, call us on (07) 3252 2313.

Can I Get a Free Consultation?

The purpose of our free initial consultation is to provide you advice on your charge or charges having regard to your personal circumstances. We recognise that sometimes people find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time and mistakes happen.

To better understand what occurred, we want to be provided with as much information as possible.

As our Brisbane criminal lawyers have experience with hundreds of matters, we will be able to quickly sort through and identify the relevant information. This assessment allows us to determine how Police Prosecutions or the Crown are going to attempt to prove the charge against you.
