Areas of Practice

Criminal

I can accept all legal aid cases except those that carry a maximum penalty of life imprisonment or where preventative detention is possible. These are some of the charges I can help with:

  • Driving charges: whether it be driving while disqualified or drink driving.

  • Dishonesty charges: from low-level shoplifting all the way up to burglaries and robberies.

  • Drug charges: whether it be possession, supplying or manufacturing/cultivating controlled substances.

  • Violence charges: from common assault and low-level domestic violence, all the way up to serious violence, including strangulation and wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

  • Breaches of sentence charges: when you are charged with breaching a sentence, whether that be community work, home detention or anything in between.

  • Firearm charges.

  • Sexual/indecent charges.

Civil

Civil proceedings are usually daunting. They can stretch out into years of litigation, and often the costs can skyrocket. I can help make the process easy to understand and help you navigate our difficult civil system, with no surprising invoices waiting for you at the end.

  1. Restraining Orders.

  2. Debt enforcement, whether seeking or defending bankruptcy or liquidation.

  3. Contractual disputes.

  4. Consumer Guarantee Disputes (i.e. faulty products or services).

  5. Negligence claims.

  6. Estates (including testamentary promises and family protection claims).

You may be eligible for a limited licence if you have been disqualified or suspended from driving and need to drive for work or personal reasons. I can help you determine if you are eligible and help you apply. I charge a fixed fee of $1,250.00 plus GST

Limited licence (work licence)

If you or a loved one is eligible for parole, I can help put your/their best foot forward before the parole board.
