How much will it cost to hire your criminal lawyers?
We believe in transparency and access to justice. We offer a free initial strategy session to assess your case and provide clear advice. For many matters, we provide an upfront, fixed-fee quote, so you can proceed with certainty and without the stress of hidden costs.
I've just been arrested or charged. Can you help me immediately?
Yes. Our lawyers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for urgent legal advice and rapid response. It is critical to have an expert on your side from the very beginning. Call our 24/7 hotline now for immediate assistance with arrests, police interviews, and bail applications.
Who will actually handle my case?
Your case will be handled by our dedicated team of specialist criminal and traffic lawyers. You will benefit directly from the extensive courtroom experience of our Principal Lawyer, Robert Daoud, and our entire team, ensuring you receive expert, hands-on representation, not a junior substitute.
What happens during my 1st Legal Strategy Session and is it free?
Your first strategy session with us is completely free and confidential. In this meeting, we will listen to your situation, review the police evidence, explain your legal options in plain English, and outline a clear and powerful defence strategy tailored to achieving the best possible outcome for you.
I think I have to plead guilty. Can you still help me?
Absolutely. Even if you plead guilty, our role is critical. We work tirelessly to minimise penalties by negotiating the police facts, preparing persuasive submissions for the court, and guiding you on steps to demonstrate remorse and rehabilitation, often resulting in no conviction being recorded.
What kind of results can I expect from your firm?
While we can never guarantee a specific result, our reputation is built on achieving hundreds of successful outcomes. We focus on having charges withdrawn, securing not-guilty verdicts, and minimising penalties to protect your licence, your reputation, and your future.

For the majority of our criminal and traffic cases, we provide an upfront, fixed-fee agreement. This means you know the full cost of your expert legal representation from the very beginning, allowing you to focus on your defence without the anxiety of unpredictable hourly bills.
