Criminal

Over the last 80 years, the criminal practice at Talbot Olivier has defended literally hundreds of criminal matters on behalf of private individuals and public companies. 

We appreciate that allegations of criminal conduct can be very stressful to the individuals involved.  Our experienced lawyers provide confidential advice to clients, with the utmost sensitivity to their needs and situations. 

Talbot Olivier can provide sound advice and representations to individuals or companies intending to take their matters to trial, or simply requiring someone to plead their cases for them.  Our objective is to resolve matters in the most efficient manner possible and to achieve the best possible outcomes for our clients. 

We are experienced in dealing with a broad range of criminal matters, including:

Quality representation in criminal matters requires not only in-depth knowledge of criminal offences, defences and the law of evidence, but also experience in liaising with the courts, police officers and various agencies. 

Our team regularly appears in the Magistrates Court, District Court, Supreme Court, Children's Court and Drug Court and has also been involved in a number of High Court appeals.  

Where there are issues of civil liability attached to the criminal allegations, Talbot Olivier's litigation practice group is able to provide advice and direction.
