Criminal Law / Proceeds of Crime
If you are facing criminal charges, your best defence could be calling me.
Before you step into a courtroom, make sure you understand your rights and get expert representation. I regularly act for clients facing serious criminal charges whether on private retainer or legal aid. I can represent you in court, advise you on your options, and help you to put your best case forward whether that is by defending the case at trial, negotiating a resolution, or seeking a discharge without conviction.
I am experienced in dealing with police asset restraint and forfeiture applications, both in New Zealand and off-shore, and can assist you in responding to a police proceeds of crime application whether you are alleged to have committed an offence or whether assets you hold are said to be connected to criminal offending.
If you need a fresh set of eyes from your trial counsel, I can advise you on your prospects for an appeal against conviction or sentence and represent you on any appeal.
I also advise on and act on private prosecutions.
