Criminal Law

If you are facing criminal charges, I know you will feel under extreme pressure. Your freedom, reputation, career, family and future can all depend on the quality of your lawyer and decisions you make early in an investigation or case.

I act for clients facing criminal charges and subject to investigation by Police or other government agencies. My clients typically require careful strategic advice and experienced advocacy.

Being effective as your lawyer does not mean being flashy or theatrical, and it does not mean that I hide the realities of your case from you. Being effective means understanding the facts, mastering the law, identifying weaknesses in the evidence or the witnesses against you, presenting a clear and credible defence and by keeping you informed along the way.

I have spent a number of years as a prosecutor doing jury trials across Northland and Auckland. This experience means I know how to analyse a prosecution file and immediately spot the errors, weaknesses or opportunities for negotiation.

Getting in touch early and getting proper legal advice from someone you trust like me will benefit you. Ignoring the problem and hoping it goes away will not.

Contact me as soon as you can, and we can arrange a time to discuss your matter and see if I am the right fit for you.
