Areas of Expertise
Our Parramatta criminal lawyers deliver strategic and effective defence for even the most complex criminal matters.
Drink Driving
A full or unrestricted driving licence holder is allowed to have an alcohol reading of less than 0.05 when driving a motor vehicle. Anything over that is considered a serious offence and can result in you losing your licence and having to serve a prison sentence. Our Parramatta criminal law team has plenty of experience in defending those charged with drink driving and will explore every possible legal avenue to reduce your chances of conviction.
Traffic Violations
Under NSW law, there is a wide range of traffic offences that can result in you receiving demerit points and heavy fines, as well as a suspended licence and even a prison sentence. However, if you engage our knowledgeable Parramatta lawyers to defend you, they will work meticulously to prepare the best possible strategic defence.
Apprehended Violence Order
If you have received an apprehended violence order from the court, there are certain conditions you will have to meet, which are designed to safeguard the mental and physical well-being of a ‘protected’ person. We realise that being slapped with this charge can be confusing and frustrating. However, we will advise you of what the order states and protect you from any claims that have been inaccurately, incorrectly, or spuriously made against you.
Physical Assault Charges
Physical assault charges can take many forms depending on whether and how seriously anyone was injured. Our experienced team of Parramatta lawyers will attempt to clear your name by examining the evidence, circumstances, and any eyewitness statements to provide you with the strongest possible defence.
Drug Related Offences
If you are caught with drugs in your possession, the severity of the charge will depend on the substance and quantity. Our team will do everything they can to secure the best possible outcome for you, which hopefully will result in you avoiding a criminal conviction.
Drug Driving Offences
Authorities across NSW are being given more power to randomly test drivers. At the same time, they also have the right to arrest you for this offence, even if you aren’t currently impaired by drugs. Our team will draw upon their knowledge of current legislation to ensure that due process was followed and to tenaciously defend you in court.
Driving Licence Suspension Charge
Aside from risking a criminal record, having your driving license suspended can significantly affect your opportunity to work and travel. At Repute Law, our experienced team has helped many clients avoid that from happening.
Fraud Charges
Allegations of Fraud can seriously impact your reputation and potentially lose you a lot of money, your job, or clients. Let our expert Parramatta criminal law team protect your rights, investigate the case, and build a strong case for defence on your behalf.
Heavy Vehicles
If you are caught speeding or overloading a heavy vehicle, you are at risk of large fines and the awarding of higher demerit points. These vehicles pose a much greater danger to people and property. For this reason, it is essential to choose an experienced team of lawyers who have a successful track record in defending clients facing these types of charges.
Firearms / Weapons
Regulations around firearms and weapons in New South Wales can be very complex. So, if you are facing prosecution for breaking these laws, it is worth contacting our team of senior Parramatta solicitors.
They will help you understand the finer points of these laws in layman’s terms and build a strong case for you to receive a not-guilty verdict.
Chat With A Lawyer
