The ‘golden rule’ of our legal system is the presumption of innocence, which provides everyone with the opportunity to explain their side of the story. First Legal represents a range of clients, including those in custody, on all criminal matters.

Whether your case involves a simple violation of regulations or an offence that carries the potential for a criminal record, First Legal will vigorously defend your interests and present your best defence.

Our services are not limited to defence of individuals. Businesses are also at risk of being charged with offences under statute that incur criminal penalty. At First Legal we work to protect the interests of our clients when responding to court attendance notices and appearing in court on a broad range of charges.

We provide advice and representation in areas such as:

	Licence appeals;
	Drink driving and traffic offences;
	Bail applications;
	Committal proceedings;
	Trials on all criminal matters whether indictable or summary;
	Appeals to the Supreme Court;
	Victim Compensation Claims; and
	Statutory charges against individuals, businesses and/or companies
