I honestly don’t know where to start when it comes to thanking Elie Srour. I was facing some very serious charges that I was wrongly accused of, and Elie managed to clear me of all charges. From the moment I first spoke to Elie, he put me at ease. Throughout the whole process, he kept me updated, answered my questions and constantly reassured me. He was always patient, approachable and treated me with genuine respect. Going through something like this is incredibly stressful, and having someone you can trust in your corner makes all the difference. Elie knows the law, but what really stood out to me was how much he genuinely cares. It was also clear at court just how respected he is by others in his profession. I found Elie by reading Google reviews, and I’m so glad I did. Not only did he get me through one of the hardest experiences of my life, but I now consider him a friend. I’ll always be grateful for what he has done for me. Thank you, Elie. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer.

Outstanding Lawyer – Couldn’t Recommend Sean Highly Enough! I honestly cannot thank Sean from Criminal Law Group enough for everything he has done for me throughout this process. From the very beginning, Sean was open, honest, informative and an excellent communicator. He helped me organise everything I needed, explained things clearly, kept me informed every step of the way, and always made sure I understood what was happening. As someone who had never been through the court system before, the whole experience was incredibly daunting. I was dealing with a lot of anxiety and uncertainty, and what turned into a long seven-month process was not easy. Through it all, Sean was there every step of the way, offering guidance, reassurance and support when I needed it most. When the day finally came to stand up in court and fight my case, Sean was in my corner fighting for me like no other. I genuinely cannot put into words how grateful I am to have had him by my side. He went above and beyond, and I always felt that he was committed to getting the best possible outcome for me. Thankfully, we achieved the outcome we were hoping for, and I will forever be grateful for the role Sean played in that. If you are looking for a criminal lawyer who is knowledgeable, honest, approachable, communicates well and genuinely fights for you when it matters most, I could not recommend Sean highly enough. Thank you, Sean, for standing by me, fighting for me and helping me get through one of the most stressful periods of my life. I am genuinely so thankful for everything you have done. Five stars simply don’t feel like enough!

Following a verbal disagreement incident with a tenant, my wife and I were charged with false domestic violence by police and faced a DVO as well, and ADVO. We approached a few lawyers but Michel (Mich) spook to us with the utmost care and compassion. From the get go he managed every aspect of our case and managed us emotionally. They were extremely transparent and guided us with extreme professionalism. At the date of the hearing Mich and Ethan reviewed the evidence against the false allegations against us. They were able to show the police prosecutor the evidence and convince them that their case had significant flaws as well as false depiction of events. The prosecutor dropped all charges as well as the DVO after Mich and Ethan convinced them. They have literally managed to save our lives and everything we have worked for. They hold a special place in our lives and we are utmost grateful to them. We got the best outcome for our case thanks to them! THANKS MICH AND ETHAN ❤️ Also their suits were fabulous

I highly recommend Mitchell to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and trustworthy lawyer. Throughout the entire process, Mitchell was incredibly supportive and made us feel comfortable and confident in his service. He put genuine effort into negotiating on our behalf and took the time to ensure we clearly understood every step of the process. His communication, dedication, and commitment made a real difference and gave us peace of mind.

    Traffic Defence at Newtown Local Court

    If you have been charged with a traffic offence, your matter will be listed at Newtown Local Court. A traffic conviction can mean a licence disqualification, a fine and demerit points or, in serious cases, imprisonment. Early legal advice before the first court date gives you the clearest picture of the consequences and the options available to you.

    Featured In

    You Have Been Charged: What Happens Next

    1

    You Have Been Charged

    ×
    A traffic charge in the Inner West Sydney region typically results in a Court Attendance Notice nominating Newtown Local Court. The notice records the charge and the first court date. Any police bail conditions must be complied with. A lawyer engaged before the first listing can review the charge, assess your traffic history and advise on the options available before any decisions are made.
    2

    Your First Court Appearance

    +
    At the first mention, we appear on your behalf, obtain the police fact sheet so that no decisions are made before your position has been properly assessed. We review the charge, the device or method used to detect the offence and your traffic record. We advise on whether the charge can be challenged, what disqualification period applies and what sentencing material needs to be prepared before the next court date.
    3

    We Assess the Evidence

    +
    We review the police facts, your driving record and any evidence that may support a defence or reduce the penalty imposed. Where a licence disqualification is likely, the material needed to support the sentencing submissions is identified and gathered at the earliest opportunity. Where the detection method or procedure is in question, we assess whether that issue can be raised and what effect it may have on the outcome of the matter.
    4

    We Advise on the Right Strategy

    +
    We advise on the strongest course available based on the charge, the evidence and your traffic history. Where a defence exists, we prepare for a contested hearing. Where a plea is appropriate, sentencing preparation begins immediately. A well-prepared sentencing case with employer documentation, character references and evidence of licence dependency can directly affect the disqualification period imposed and whether a conviction is recorded.
    5

    We Represent You at Every Stage

    +
    We appear at every mention, adjournment and sentencing hearing. All supporting material is before the court on the day. Where a licence appeal to the District Court is available, we prepare and file the appeal within the required timeframe and present it before a District Court judge. You are represented at every stage of the proceedings from the first mention through to the final outcome.
    6

    Your Matter Is Finalised

    +
    Your matter is resolved by hearing, plea or sentence. In appropriate first-offence matters, we apply for a Section 10 conditional release order without conviction, which avoids both the recorded conviction and the licence disqualification. Where a disqualification is imposed, a licence appeal may be available and we advise on that option at the time of sentence. From charge to finalisation, every step is taken to protect your licence and your record.

    What happens if I lose my licence?

    +
    A licence disqualification imposed at Newtown Local Court takes effect immediately on the day the order is made. If you drive after the disqualification takes effect you commit a further and more serious criminal offence. Where there are grounds for appeal, a licence appeal can be brought in the District Court within 28 days of the date on which the disqualification order was made at Newtown Local Court. The appeal proceeds as a rehearing of the sentence and must be properly prepared and supported by strong evidence before it is filed.

    Can I appeal a licence disqualification?

    +
    A licence appeal from a Newtown Local Court order is heard in the District Court as a rehearing of the sentence and can result in the disqualification being reduced or removed. The 28-day filing deadline from the date of the Newtown Local Court order is strict and missing it prevents the appeal from proceeding without leave. Your lawyer must advise on the grounds available, the evidence required and the realistic prospects before any decision is made to file.

    Do I need a lawyer for a traffic matter?

    +
    Legal representation is not compulsory at Newtown Local Court but the quality of the legal work done before and at court materially affects the outcome. Whether the question is avoiding a conviction through a Section 10 application, minimising a disqualification period or pursuing a licence appeal, the quality of the preparation and submissions directly affects the result at Newtown Local Court.

    +
    We appear regularly at Newtown Local Court and can take instructions and arrange representation at short notice, including on the day of the first mention.
