Yes, we provide fixed legal fees for most matters. This includes sentence matters for drug possession, drink driving, assault and traffic offences.
However, in some circumstances, we will provide a clear cost estimate instead of a fixed fee. This will apply for larger, ongoing criminal matters or if you are pleading not guilty.
We appear in all Local, District and Supreme Courts throughout New South Wales.
Yes, you can retain a barrister in your matter. However, a barrister is not always necessary. You will be required to have a barrister for some serious criminal charges. We are committed to ensuring you receive the best possible outcome, therefore we work closely with Sydney and Newcastle’s top criminal barristers. We will work with you to discuss your options and retain the right barrister for your case.
Yes. In most cases it is possible to negotiate with the police. We will discuss all of your options during the initial consultation.
There is no strict dress code for court. However, a court is a traditional and formal environment and we therefore encourage our clients to dress in a way that reflects this context. Not only does this show respect for the judicial system, but it communicates to a magistrate or judge that you take the proceedings seriously.
This does not mean you need to go and buy a new suit to wear to court. Formal or business clothing you already own is acceptable.
An adjournment means postponing your matter. In other words, your matter is moved to a later date. A prosecutor or a defendant can request an adjournment.
There are a number of different reasons to request an adjournment.
These include:
– Obtaining legal advice
– To review evidence
– Preparing material for sentence
– To lay further charges
– To negotiate
– Because of ill health
A formal notice requiring a person to attend court on a specific date. It will outline the charge/s for which you need to attend court. In addition, it will include the court location, and the prosecutor’s details.
If you don’t attend court, your matter could be dealt with in your absence. In some cases, a warrant could be issued for your arrest.
