Our team provide the highest quality legal support and court representation for the most serious of allegations and offences, including a range of private and business matters.

Legal aid We do not offer our services through legal aid, as we believe we can provide better results and better service when we have the freedom to advise and defend you properly. Generally, we find choosing a private option instead of legal aid can be more cost-effective when considering legal aid contributions or recovering defence costs if convicted. Why us?
