Charges we defend
Criminal and traffic law is all we do. Find your charge below to understand how it works in Queensland, the penalties you face, and how we build a defence.
Assault & violence charges
From a one-off pub altercation to a serious wounding, assault charges cover an enormous range — and so do the outcomes. The right defence often turns on self-defence, provocation, or whether the injury meets the legal threshold at all.
See how we defend this PCA · DUI · drug drivingDrink & drug driving
For most people a drink or drug-driving charge is their first time in a courtroom — and the licence disqualification hurts more than the fine. Early advice protects your record, and sometimes your livelihood.
See how we defend this Possession · utensils · productionDrug offences
A small possession charge and a production charge sit worlds apart in the courts and in the penalties. The category, the schedule and the quantity decide almost everything — including whether diversion is on the table.
See how we defend this Supply · trafficking · Supreme CourtDrug trafficking & supply
Trafficking and supply are among the most serious charges in Queensland, carrying up to 25 years and, for trafficking, a Supreme Court trial. These are not matters to face without a specialist.
See how we defend this Dangerous driving · disqualified · unlicensedTraffic & driving offences
Dangerous operation, driving while disqualified and unlawful use are criminal charges — not just demerit points. A conviction can cost you your licence, your insurance and, in the worst cases, your liberty.
See how we defend this Fraud · stealing · receivingFraud & dishonesty
Fraud and dishonesty charges threaten more than a penalty — they threaten a reputation and a career. Value and any breach of trust drive both the court and the sentence, so the way the case is framed is everything.
See how we defend this Protection orders · breaches · DV assaultDomestic & family violence
A domestic-violence allegation moves fast and touches everything — family, housing, work and reputation. Whether you are named in a protection-order application or charged with a breach, how you respond in the first days matters.
See how we defend this Sexual assault · rape · Supreme CourtSexual offences
Sexual offence allegations carry the heaviest penalties and the gravest consequences for reputation and liberty. They demand discretion, specialist experience, and careful work from the very first day.
See how we defend this Unlawful possession · knives · licensingWeapons & firearms
Weapons charges range from carrying a knife in public to unlawful possession of a category-H firearm — and the penalties, and the effect on any weapons licence, vary enormously with the category.
See how we defend this Burglary · robbery · wilful damageProperty, burglary & robbery
Property offences span minor wilful damage to armed robbery, which carries life imprisonment. Identity, intent and the circumstances of aggravation decide where a case lands — and there is real room to move on each.
