What Are The Fees For Criminal Law Specialists In Sydney?
Legal costs depend on the charge, the court, and how complex the evidence is. We offer fixed fees for many Local Court stages and clear staged pricing for defended hearings or indictable matters. Payment plans can follow listing dates and key steps in the case. Your free 30-minute consultation sets out the scope of work, inclusions, realistic timelines, and likely next steps. We explain disbursements at the outset, including subpoenas, expert reports, transcripts, interpreters, and filing fees. Where hardship is an issue, we consider reduced fees or limited pro bono assistance, subject to capacity. You receive a written estimate and a simple milestones calendar so you can budget confidently while you focus on preparation, compliance, and the outcome.
Case Studies For Sydney Criminal Law Specialists
As specialist advocates, our Sydney criminal lawyers run matters in a structured, evidence-based way. We review police procedure, test admissibility, and look for proof gaps at an early stage. Where negotiation makes sense, we prepare focused written representations for withdrawals, downgrades, or fair agreed facts. If the case is defended, we settle a clear theory, brief experts and lay witnesses properly, and file precise pre-trial applications. You receive realistic advice on prospects, clear goals, and a practical checklist for programs, references, and documents that can improve your position and avoid unnecessary delay.
Assault: Self Defence Acquittal
Police alleged reckless grievous bodily harm and affray after a venue incident. We reviewed CCTV, mapped a clear timeline, and exposed contradictions. We argued self defence, meaning reasonable force was used to protect oneself. The court accepted the defence and the prosecution could not disprove it. All charges were dismissed.
Large Commercial MDMA Supply: Major Reduction
A client was charged over 24 kilograms of MDMA, a large commercial supply carrying a maximum of life and a Standard Non Parole Period (SNPP) of 15 years. We guided programs and documents and negotiated with the DPP. The court imposed 18 months imprisonment, a very significant reduction from the exposure suggested by the SNPP and maximum penalty.
Bail Granted On Robbery Charge
Bail had been refused for a young person charged with robbery. On short notice we drafted strict conditions to manage risk, including residence, reporting, non-association, and a curfew. We argued the case was weak and a custodial end state unlikely. The magistrate granted conditional bail, meaning supervised release with enforceable rules.

Insights On Your Criminal Law Specialist Topics In Sydney
Criminal allegations can cover common assault, AVO-linked issues, fraud, traffic offences, drug possession or supply, and serious indictable matters. Penalties vary with the charge, your history, the harm alleged, and the mitigating circumstances you can show the court. Sentencing options include fines, Conditional Release Orders (CRO), Community Correction Orders (CCO), Intensive Correction Orders (ICO), and, in serious cases, full-time imprisonment. In some matters, the court can deal with you by way of a CRO without recording a conviction if preparation, insight, and community safety justify that outcome. We explain how any result may affect your record, employment, licences, and travel.
