Darwin Criminal Lawyers
Nothing is more stressful than the possibility of a criminal conviction. Whether it’s a minor or serious conviction, it can appear on your record for ten years if you received the conviction as an adult and five years if convicted as a minor; and more serious convictions never become spent. A criminal conviction could affect your employment or stop your future travel plans.
If you’ve been charged with an offence or think that you might face charges, you must talk to one of Armstrong Legal’s Mornington lawyers at the first opportunity. They’ll also make plea recommendations. If you decide to plead guilty, then they will fight for minimal sentencing.
Armstrong Legal’s Darwin lawyers know that the criminal justice system is complex and frightening, whether it’s your first offence or you’ve interacted with the criminal justice system previously. The team is friendly and understanding, approaching your matter with impartiality and considering the facts only. They cover the full spectrum of NT criminal offences.
Our Mornington lawyers are available every step of the way from the moment you are under investigation, through to charges being laid, appearing at court, and sentencing. They can also help you appeal if you are unhappy with the outcome you received in court.
Our Mornington Lawyers can do Legal Aid work in limited instances. We do not offer Legal Aid for matters involving AVOs or for Corporate Crime matters. If you’d like more information on the cases we can do Legal Aid work for, give us a call on (03) 9620 2777.
