Criminal Defence
Early advice can change the course of a criminal case. We represent clients from the police and public prosecution stages through trial and appeal.

- Financial offences: fraud, breach of trust, embezzlement
- Bail and travel-ban applications

Situations we often see
“I received a police summons”
Call us before you attend. Knowing your rights and what to expect at the first interview matters.
“A family member has been detained”
We find out the charge, the stage the case has reached and whether release on bail can be requested.
“I have a travel ban linked to a case”
We identify the case or order behind the ban and the lawful route to lift it.

Questions clients ask
Should I speak to a lawyer before attending a police summons?
Yes. Understanding your position and rights before the first interview helps you avoid mistakes that are hard to correct later. Contact us as soon as you receive the summons.
Can you represent me in a cybercrime or defamation case?
Yes. These cases often turn on messages, posts and how they were obtained. We review the evidence carefully and advise on your defence or, if you are the victim, on your complaint.
Can a travel ban be lifted?
Often, yes, depending on the reason for the ban. A ban linked to a criminal case, a debt or an execution file each has its own route. We identify the source of the ban first.
