Criminal Law
Calm, clear representation when the stakes are high.
Facing criminal charges or dealing with police can be stressful and overwhelming. Whether the issue is relatively minor or more serious, the decisions you make early can have lasting consequences.
At Spero Law, we provide clear, straightforward advice from the outset. We focus on protecting your rights, explaining your options in plain language, and guiding you through the process with care, discretion, and professionalism.
How we can help
Criminal law matters often involve uncertainty, pressure, and tight timeframes. We understand how confronting this can be, particularly if you have never had contact with the criminal justice system before.
Our role is to help you understand what is happening, what your options are, and how best to respond. We take a measured and informed approach, focused on preparation, strategy, and achieving the best possible outcome in your circumstances.
We can assist with
We provide advice and representation across a wide range of criminal matters, including:
- Traffic and driving offences, such as drink or drug driving, dangerous driving, and driving while suspended or disqualified
- Intervention Order matters, including Family Violence and Personal Safety applications, as well as related criminal charges
- Assault and violence-related offences, including common assault and associated allegations
- Theft and property offences, including shop theft, burglary, and other property-related charges
- Drug offences, including possession and related matters
- Bail applications and breaches, including advice on conditions and court representation
If you are unsure how your matter is classified or what it may involve, we can help clarify this early and advise you on the most appropriate way forward.
Intervention Orders and criminal matters
Intervention Order proceedings often overlap with criminal law. An application for an order, or an alleged breach, can have serious legal consequences and may affect other matters, including employment or family law proceedings.
We regularly assist clients who are applying for, responding to, or affected by Intervention Orders. Our focus is on ensuring you understand the implications of these matters and that your position is properly represented.
