Find Criminal Defense Lawyers

Criminal law covers the laws, codes and regulations that makes certain actions illegal and subject to criminal punishment if you're found guilty. Usually, a police officer will enforce the criminal law by issuing a fine or infringement, or making an arrest, which could lead to a criminal record and imprisonment.

• Drugs offences (such as drug possession and trafficking).
• Public order offences.
• Theft and property offences.
• Assault and battery.
• Murder and manslaughter.
• Sex offences.
• Fraud (including credit card fraud and identity theft).
