Assault Cases
Being charged with assault is extremely serious. Defending a client for an assault charge takes strategy and expertise. If you’ve been charged with assault, you should know that the consequences could include a permanent record and even jail time. Having a permanent record can impact your ability to work and travel. Our years of experience in Criminal Law means we have what it takes to successfully defend against:
- Assault

- Sexual Assault
Impaired Driving/Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP)
Impaired Driving Can Be Difficult to Defend.
It requires a skilled lawyer to mount an effective defense on your behalf. If you have been charged with driving while being impaired by alcohol or drugs or received an IRP, ensure that you seek legal advice as soon as possible. A conviction for impaired driving or an IRP brings with them severe consequences ranging from driving prohibitions to fines and even imprisonment, depending on the particular case and the number of past convictions.
Dangerous Driving
Dangerous Driving is a Serious Offence.
A conviction can result in extensive driving prohibitions and even imprisonment, especially where bodily injury or death has occurred. An experienced criminal lawyer can defend allegations against you, to gain the best result. You should know what your options are and what can be done to reduce charges so that the penalties and impacts on your life can be significantly reduced.
