Crime

It’s not about the crime. It’s about the evidence.

No matter what criminal or enforcement offence you may have been charged with or are being investigated for, it pays to always get a formal opinion.

Lawyers experienced in criminal and enforcement matters should always be consulted so that you know your rights, obligations, and entitlements, and what to do next.

As lawyers, we are there to ensure that you understand the options available to you, involving both the Police and in going to Court. This includes understanding any defences available to you, the strength of the evidence against you, and what (if any) gaps exist in that evidence.

At MW Law, we have worked in all areas of crime and enforcement, from the summary through to the indictable.

We have also acted, and regularly appear in, regulatory matters and before disciplinary tribunals involving matters of governance, permission, conduct, behaviour and discipline.

If you have any concerns, or require our assistance, please contact us at Mitcham on 9837 2100 or Greensborough 9435 3811 or email us using the contact form below.
