What impact can a criminal conviction have on work or other aspects of life?
A criminal history can affect employment, licences, and even international travel. Convictions for stolen property, drug offences, or common assault may have long-term consequences.

Whether facing criminal charges or regulatory law breaches, our structure ensures you receive extremely professional representation at competitive rates while still having access to the best criminal lawyers for your court case.
Can I come to you for a second legal opinion?

We review your criminal case, assess several factors affecting your defence, and offer practical advice so you can be confident you are receiving the best representation available.
What happens during your One-Off Case Review?

If police ask for a voluntary interview, should I go, and can you attend with me?

We can advise you whether to participate, help you avoid errors in the legal process, and ensure your best interests are safeguarded throughout the process and court case.
