Drug offences can affect far more than the court outcome. A conviction can impact travel, employment and professional accreditation, and in serious cases may lead to jail time. Getting early advice helps protect your position and can change the pathway of a case.



In Queensland, police lay a wide range of drug offences, from minor possession to trafficking. We advise on evidence, search issues, admissions and diversion options where available, then build a strategy that fits your goals.

Examples we handle: minor possession of cannabis or party drugs, possession of utensils, supply to others, large-quantity possession, trafficking allegations, introducing drugs into correctional environments and importation offences.

Violence allegations move quickly and the consequences can be serious. These matters call for urgent advice about your rights, any “no contact” conditions, and preserving evidence that supports your account.



Assault cases range from common assault through to grievous bodily harm and wounding. The exact charge, injuries, context and any history all matter. We gather the material, negotiate where appropriate and prepare you for court.

Fraud and dishonesty offences often involve financial records, devices and digital trails. These matters can escalate if not managed early, and some circumstances carry a real risk of jail time.



We work quickly to analyse the brief, address restitution where appropriate, and engage with prosecution to narrow issues. Early, targeted steps can improve the outcome.

Break and enter, burglary and related “possession of things” charges are serious and often filed alongside other allegations. Your defence can turn on identification, intent and how the search and seizure were conducted.



We review the evidence, challenge unlawful searches, obtain helpful CCTV or witness material and advise on the best pathway for court.

Sexual offence investigations are complex and sensitive. Police often collect digital evidence and statements over time. Getting legal advice early helps ensure your rights are protected and that any interviews or searches are conducted lawfully.



Every case turns on its own facts, including issues of consent, timing, messages and devices. Our team handles these matters with strict privacy and clear guidance at every step.

Domestic violence related criminal charges and order contraventions have long-term effects on family life, work and travel. If you are charged or contacted by police about a DV matter, speak to a lawyer immediately.



We advise on bail, no-contact conditions, evidence and the interaction between DV orders and criminal allegations. We also act in applications to vary conditions where appropriate.

Allegations of unlawful killing require immediate, specialist attention. These matters often turn on witness accounts, forensic timelines and the law around intent and causation.

We coordinate senior counsel where needed, manage evidence requests and protect your rights from the first interview through each stage of proceedings

Do not underestimate traffic charges. Disqualified driving, drink or drug driving and related allegations can lead to large fines, long disqualifications and in some cases jail time. Losing your licence can also affect employment and family responsibilities.

Queensland traffic matters are primarily governed by the Transport Operations (Road Use Management) framework. We act on drink and drug driving, dangerous operation, unlicensed and disqualified driving, and can help with Work Licence and Special Hardship applications where available.
