Skill
You need to be able to have confidence that your lawyer(s) can do what you hired them to do: achieve a dismissal or acquittal if possible, minimise penalties where necessary or resolve your case by negotiation. Our barristers have successfully handled hundreds of cases, including numerous trials before a jury. Most importantly, we have an excellent record of achieving positive results. |
Responsiveness
When you’re facing criminal charges, a prosecution or a matter requiring representation, you will have lots of questions, and concerns. We appreciate that your case will constantly be on your mind, potentially impacting many aspects of your life. You need someone who understands and is willing to listen. We strive to respond quickly and completely to your questions, whenever you contact us. |
Honesty
When you are facing a difficult situation you need a lawyer who can be honest with you about what’s ahead. We will tell you what you need to hear not necessarily what you want to hear. We are straightforward, but will also do all we can to try find the most effective resolution to your charges. |
Experience
We represent clients in any court in New Zealand. We are familiar with the practices of the various criminal courts and tribunals so we can help our clients understand what to expect from start to finish. We have worked on thousands of cases including high profile matters reported in the media. |
Focus and Dedication
When your freedom, reputation, financial circumstances and future are at stake, you don’t want to put your trust in someone who lacks the skills required. Our barristers have the skills required to achieve the best result possible. |
