We work across all Auckland courts for criminal matters. We pride ourselves on offering the best service to our clients from start to finish.
We represent people from all walks of life. We can help you right from the start from when a charge is laid against you, for defending the charges in a trial, for bail or getting the best sentencing outcome.

We provide representation for:
We deal with the full spectrum of driving related offences; limited licences, not losing your licence, s94 applications and s106 applications - discharge without conviction.
We have a high success rate in achieving discharges without conviction for our clients. This allows you to have a second chance by not having a conviction entered on your record.
A sexual allegation is one of most stressful allegations you can face. Sexual trials are complex - you need a lawyer that is highly experienced in dealing with these allegations.
Charges may include assault on a female/person in a family relationship, breaching protection orders and more.
Violence charges range from common assault and extend to charges that carry imprisonment such as wounding, manslaughter or murder.
A conviction for murder or manslaughter is life changing. These cases are highly complex, often have multiple parties involved and generate significant volumes of information. These cases require laser focus and commitment to present the best defence.
We assist with all types of drug allegations including the possession, supply, importation and the manufacturing of illegal drugs.
Charges for serious drug operation typically face hefty sentences of imprisonment if convicted. The Police invest a significant amount of time and resources into these cases. Our team will analyse the highly technical, complex and detailed disclosure to provide you with the best advice.
Any conviction for a dishonesty related offence can have a life long impact on your future. You need the right advice to assess the evidence against you and achieve the best possible outcome.
In today’s digital era, online scams are incredibly sophisticated. Unfortunately people get caught up in scams, thinking they are dealing with legitimate people. We can help you if you have been caught up in an online relationship scam, also known as a “romance scam” or another transaction where you thought you were dealing with a real person. Unfortunately you can be charged where the Police consider that you have been reckless or in some way involved in the scam.
We understand that criminal charges often arise in the context of trauma and addiction problems. We are "trauma informed" - that means we are well trained in navigating complex histories and family situations. We understand that this can be a critical part of the Court process in achieving the right solution.
Publication of your name or your family’s name can be devastating, particularly in the age of social media where information spreads rapidly.
Being in Police or Corrections custody can be daunting. We will undertake a bail application and ensure the best proposal is put forward to achieve this.
Appeals require expert skills in assessing the decision of the Court. We can advise you on whether you are able to appeal a decision of the Court and the likelihood of success.
