ABOUT CRIMINAL LAW

At High Street Law, we specialise in defending individuals charged with criminal offences. Our team has a proven track record of achieving successful outcomes for clients facing charges that range from minor infringements to the most serious allegations.

​

We approach every case with the fundamental principle that every person is presumed innocent until proven guilty. We understand that facing criminal charges can be overwhelming, confusing, and emotionally taxing. That’s why we are committed to guiding you through the process with clarity, professionalism, and unwavering support.

​

A criminal charge—let alone a conviction—can threaten your freedom, reputation, livelihood, and future. If you or someone you care about is facing charges, it’s crucial to have a lawyer with not only a deep understanding of the law but also the courtroom experience to mount a strong defence. Just as importantly, you need someone who will be there to answer your questions, address your concerns, and help ease your fears every step of the way.

​

At High Street Law, our barristers and support team are here to help you face this challenge with confidence.

If you're being questioned by Police or any government agency, it’s important to seek legal advice early. We can provide guidance from the moment you're contacted by authorities—whether before or after arrest—to ensure your rights are protected and your options clearly understood.

​

We can assist with defending charges at trial, applying for bail, seeking sentencing indications, and advocating for the least restrictive outcome at sentencing. We also represent clients in parole hearings and appeals against conviction or sentence.

​

Our approach begins with meeting you, addressing any immediate bail concerns, and obtaining full police/Crown disclosure. We then conduct a detailed analysis of the case to identify the strongest available defences.

​

In more complex matters, our barristers work collaboratively to build the most robust and strategic defence possible—ensuring no stone is left unturned.
