Criminal defence is all about standing up for people accused of crimes. It’s the lawyer’s job to protect your rights and make sure you get a fair shake in court. Defence lawyers dive into the details of the case, challenge the evidence, and come up with the best strategies to help you out—whether that means negotiating a plea deal or fighting for you in front of a judge. 

I am an approved Legal Aid Provider.  If you are facing serious charges that carry a maximum penalty of 14 years and more, I can be nominated as your preferred lawyer in your legal aid application.

Regulatory defence is all about helping people and businesses navigate the tricky world of regulations and compliance. Whether you’re facing a government investigation or trying to sort out compliance issues, having a knowledgeable lawyer in your corner makes a big difference.  

​I have specialised knowledge in defending charges laid under the Maritime Transport Act 1994, Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, Resource Management Act 1991, and Civil Aviation Act 1990. 

Criminal appeals are all about seeking justice after a conviction. If you believe there was a mistake in your trial—whether it was an error in the law, issues with evidence, or problems with how the trial was conducted—you may be able to appeal the decision. 

It’s a chance to have a higher court review your case and potentially overturn the verdict or reduce your sentence. Navigating the appeals process can be complex, but having an experienced lawyer on your side can help ensure your rights are protected and your voice is heard.
