Don't face criminal charges alone!

Every charge is set out in a document that falls into one of three categories:

  • Summary matters are dealt with entirely in the Magistrates' Court by a single Magistrate.
  • Minor indictable matters also begin there, though you can choose to have them heard in the District Court.
  • Major indictable matters are ultimately decided in the District Court (with the most serious offences, like murder, heard in the Supreme Court).

Whether you are facing a guilty plea, a trial before a Judge and Jury, or a Judge-alone hearing, our criminal lawyers help you understand your options, protect your rights, and work toward the best possible outcome at every stage.
