Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if the police want to interview me?

Can you help me get bail if I’ve been refused?

We regularly appear in urgent bail applications and can assist with initial hearings, reviews, or appeals.

Offences such as aggravated assault, trafficking, grievous bodily harm, and armed robbery typically fall under serious criminal law. These matters often proceed to higher courts.
