Criminal Law is a complex and emotionally charged area of practice.  We treat you with respect and understanding and offer a comprehensive analysis of the evidence against you. We make decisions with you and not for you.
 
We have extensive experience representing those who have otherwise not been involved with the Criminal Justice System and find themselves charged with criminal offences inextricably linked to the break down of their relationships.
 
Our experience in family law gives you the advantage in these types of matters as we are acutely aware of how these criminal matters need to be managed when family law negotiations or proceedings are also underway.
 
Restraining Orders
 
We have represented clients applying for and defending Family Violence Restraining Orders and Violence Restraining Orders.
 
We know those applying for or defending these applications often find this area of law confusing and stressful. While these Orders are civil in nature in some cases if an order is made against you it may impact upon your employment or your ability to spend time with your children.
 
We provide you with options for negotiation and possible resolution without the need to proceed to trial. If the matter needs to proceed to trial you can rely on us to prepare your case thoroughly and to take the time to listen to you sensitively and without judgement.
