Criminal Lawyers Gold Coast

At Greenaway Law, we offer a wide range of criminal law services to address all kinds of criminal law matters. Whether you are facing a minor traffic charge or serious criminal offences, our experienced lawyers are here to help.

Domestic Violence Cases

Domestic violence cases often come with emotional and legal complexities. We provide compassionate yet firm legal representation, understanding the sensitive nature of these allegations. Our priority is to protect your rights, gather all relevant evidence, and develop a defence strategy tailored to your case. Whether it involves restraining orders or criminal charges, we ensure that your side of the story is effectively presented in court.

Drug Charges

Drug charges can range from possession to trafficking, with penalties that can significantly impact your future. Queensland’s drug laws are strict, and navigating them requires in-depth knowledge and experience. Our lawyers assist with diversion programs for minor offences and build robust defences for more serious allegations. We scrutinise the evidence, including search and seizure procedures, to identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.

Sex Offence Charges

Sex offence allegations carry a heavy social and legal burden. We provide discreet and effective representation, ensuring your rights and dignity are protected throughout the legal process. From preparing a strong defence to challenging evidence, we take every measure to secure the best possible outcome and minimise reputational harm.

Assault Charges

Assault charges, whether they involve common assault or grievous bodily harm, can lead to serious consequences. Our team delves into the specifics of the incident, including witness statements and evidence, to challenge inconsistencies and present a compelling defence. We advocate for fair treatment and explore all avenues for reducing or dismissing charges.

Traffic Offences

Traffic offences can disrupt your daily life and carry severe penalties such as fines, licence disqualification, or even jail time. Our expertise in traffic law enables us to assist clients with drink driving, drug driving, and other violations. We work to mitigate penalties and seek alternative resolutions, such as conditional licences or reduced fines, wherever possible.

White-Collar Crimes

White-collar crimes, including fraud, embezzlement, and corruption, often involve intricate financial details and significant evidence. Our Gold Coast criminal lawyers leverage expertise in forensic analysis and legal strategy to dismantle the prosecution’s case. We focus on protecting your professional reputation while pursuing the most favourable outcome.

Murder & Manslaughter

Murder and manslaughter charges are among the most serious in the criminal justice system. These cases demand meticulous preparation, including analysing forensic evidence, consulting with experts, and constructing a solid defence strategy. Our experienced team leaves no detail overlooked, ensuring a comprehensive defence that challenges every aspect of the prosecution’s case.

Expert Guidance Through the Legal Process

Understanding the legal process is critical when facing criminal charges. Our criminal law team provides step-by-step guidance, ensuring you are informed and prepared at every stage. From initial police interviews to court appearances, we work to simplify complex procedures and make the process less intimidating. Our focus is always on achieving a favourable resolution for your case.

Bail Applications

Bail is an essential part of managing your legal defence effectively. Our criminal lawyers prepare compelling applications, highlighting your ties to the community and other relevant factors that support your release. By securing bail, you can better prepare for your case while maintaining stability in your personal and professional life.

Traffic Matters

Traffic charges can escalate quickly, affecting your record and mobility. Our criminal lawyers handle a wide range of traffic matters, including drink driving and unlicensed driving. We explore all options to minimise the impact of these charges, whether through reduced penalties or alternative resolutions such as traffic offender programs.

Rehabilitation Programs

For clients dealing with substance abuse or other underlying issues, rehabilitation programs can offer an alternative to traditional sentencing. We advocate for solutions that focus on recovery, presenting evidence of your commitment to change as part of our defence strategy. This approach not only benefits our clients but also supports broader community safety.
