Sydney Defenders is highly regarded in the criminal law sector due to our extensive expertise acquired through education, years of experience, and a commitment to staying updated on the latest laws, news, and criminal cases.

Our lawyers excel in advocating for justice through professional communication in the courtroom with judges and prosecutors. These expert skills are invaluable when receiving our representation for criminal charges.

Our legal team is equipped to simplify the complexities of the law and providing honest advice. We strive to inform our clients about what to expect, allowing them and their families to prepare for the realistic consequences they may face. We refrain from making false promises that could lead to disappointing outcomes, as integrity is fundamental to our firm's practices.

With a keen eye for identifying case weaknesses and skilful negotiation tactics, our lawyers aim to resolve matters without going to trial whenever possible. While this approach may not be suitable for every case, our experienced team discern when it's appropriate to make a compelling argument to prosecutors for dropping charges.

Sydney Defenders also plays a crucial role in bail applications, recognising the importance of preparing them meticulously from the outset. Since bail can only be applied once in the same court, it's imperative to get it right the first time to avoid higher legal costs associated with applying in a higher court.

Additionally, we offer support during police interviews, which can be a daunting experience. Our defenders work closely with clients to clarify their rights, advise on what to say, and guide them on interacting with law enforcement to ensure a smooth progression through the criminal legal proceedings.

While all lawyers graduate with the same foundational qualifications and training, criminal lawyers undergo additional specialised guidance to acquire a deeper understanding of the criminal legal process, court system, and NSW laws. This specialised training enables them to communicate more effectively and navigate complexities of the legal justice system effectively.

Choosing a lawyer who lacks expertise in criminal law when attending court may result in preparations and steps being overlooked, potentially weakening your case and leading to less desirable outcomes.

It's crucial to recognise that even a minor criminal conviction can have significant repercussions on employment and travel opportunities.

Therefore, criminal matters require careful handling, necessitating the expertise of a criminal lawyer to gain an early understanding of the accusations and devise a preliminary case strategy to mitigate potential consequences.
