Our Services

Criminal Law

When facing a criminal charge you have to make a decision as to how you wish to respond to that charge. At its simplest, you have the option of pleading guilty (accepting the charge and being punished) or pleading not guilty (fighting the charge and seeking to have the Court decide that there is insufficient evidence to convict you).
In that regard you should be aware that the courts commonly extend leniency, or a ‘discount’, in sentencing people who plead guilty rather than those found guilty by the Court. This is a decision for you – not for your lawyer or a family member to make.
Our Services

Commercial Litigation

Commercial transactions and business relationships can sometimes turn sour and dissolve into disputes, resulting in costly litigation.

  • Contract disputes, including breach of contract

Wills and Estates

Death is a fate that awaits us all. If you have not prepared a Will, when you die someone else decides how your assets are to be distributed and how in some circumstances personal matters are dealt with.
Your will is a legal document, which states how you want your estate to be managed after your death and with our guidance can become a small task to undertake. Any person over the age of 18 years (or under 18 years of age if married) and of sound mental capacity can make their Will.
Our Services

Family Law

We have commonly come to know a Financial Agreement entered into before marriage as a “Pre-Nuptial Agreement”. The ability of couples to also enter into Agreements once they are married but before they are divorced is a relatively new concept in Australia.
A Financial Agreement can be entered into by couples who are contemplating entering into a marriage with each other. The Agreement can deal with how, in the event of a breakdown of the marriage, all or any of the property or financial resources of either or both of them at the time when the Agreement is made or at a later time and before the dissolution of marriage is to be dealt with.
