Practice Areas
From the moment of arrest to the final judgment — and the appeal after it, if needed — each matter below is handled personally, not passed along a chain of juniors.
The hours after an arrest set the tone for everything that follows. We move quickly to prepare and argue bail applications so that you, or your family member, spend as little time in custody as possible while the matter is resolved.
Whether the matter is heard in the Magistrate’s Court, the Regional Court or the High Court, your defence is built around the specific facts of your case — not a standard script. That means a full review of the evidence, a clear strategy, and representation in every appearance from the first remand to the verdict.
A conviction or sentence is not always the end of the road. Where there are proper grounds — an error of law, an unfair process, or a sentence that doesn’t fit the offence — we take the matter to a higher court to have it reconsidered.
Arrests rarely happen at a convenient time. The emergency line is answered around the clock, so that you or someone you trust can reach an attorney immediately — not once the office reopens.
Long before an argument is made in court, the docket is requested, read and picked apart — statements, forensic reports, chain of custody, every procedural step the State was required to follow. Weaknesses found here often shape the entire strategy of a case.
Domestic violence allegations, protection orders and the criminal charges that often accompany them are handled with the discretion and seriousness they require — for clients on either side of an application.
The same four stages apply to almost every matter we take on — only the details change.
Tell us what’s happened. If you or a family member has already been arrested, we prioritise getting to the police station.
A confidential consultation to understand the charge, followed by a formal docket request as soon as one is possible.
We lay out the realistic options, the risks of each, and agree on a strategy — explained in plain language, not legal shorthand.
From remand appearances to trial or plea, and an appeal afterwards if the result calls for one.
