Legal costs depend on the charge, the court pathway, and evidence complexity. Sexual offences lawyers Liverpool can help from urgent advice and bail to mentions, committal proceedings, and District Court trials or sentencing. We offer fixed fees for many early stages and clear staged pricing for defended committals, hearings, and appeals. Your free 30-minute consultation sets out scope, inclusions, realistic timelines, and next steps. We also explain disbursements such as subpoenas, expert reports, transcripts, interpreters, forensic downloads, and counsel. Payment plans can align with listing dates. Where hardship exists, we may consider reduced fees or limited pro bono help, subject to capacity.
Our Liverpool sexual offence defence lawyers use an evidence-led, discreet approach from day one. We check the elements of each alleged offence, assess consent issues, and test identification and intent. We look for gaps in statements, forensic material, medical records, and digital communications. Where appropriate, we make representations seeking withdrawal, downgrades, or tighter particulars. If the matter proceeds as a defended committal or trial, we prepare a clear theory, brief suitable experts, and ready witnesses for cross-examination.
Our client was charged with sexual touching and pleaded not guilty. We reviewed the brief, identified inconsistencies and proof gaps, and prepared the matter for a defended hearing. At hearing, we tested reliability through cross-examination and submissions, focusing on the criminal standard of proof. The court was not satisfied beyond reasonable doubt. The client was found not guilty and the charge was dismissed, avoiding a conviction and protecting their record and future.
Your matter is managed with clear milestones and plain-English updates. We map the legal elements, preserve messages and device data, and test procedures early. Negotiations target withdrawal, reductions, or agreed facts where appropriate. If you plead guilty, we build sentencing material showing insight, rehabilitation, and safeguards. If you defend, we prepare witnesses, brief experts when needed, and challenge unreliable proof so the court hears tested evidence. We also help manage bail conditions and non-contact restrictions while your case progresses.

Sexual offence allegations range from sexual touching (Crimes Act 1900 (NSW) s 61KC) to sexual assault (s 61I) and aggravated sexual assault (s 61J). Maximum penalties for these offences are 5, 14, and 20 years, and many matters proceed as indictable cases that move from the Local Court to the District Court after committal. Consent and reasonable belief provisions can depend on when conduct occurred, and evidence may include statements, BWV, medical notes, and digital communications. Outcomes can include CROs, CCOs, ICOs, or imprisonment. This is general information, not legal advice.

Costs vary with the charge, disclosure volume, and hearing length. Many mentions use fixed fees, while committals and trials are staged. Disbursements may include experts, transcripts, or interpreters.
Timeframes depend on disclosure, plea position, and court listing capacity. Some matters resolve early, while others run to committal and trial. We provide a milestones plan.
