Your legal options

At National Criminal Lawyers, we offer a range of legal options based on your individual case and situation. The defence process includes the following four options:

• Negotiate with the police – Negotiation is a highly skilled process that involves direct communication with the police in an attempt to reduce charges or have them withdrawn completely.

• Plead not guilty – If you’re innocent of the crime or there is a lack of evidence, you may wish to mount a legal defence in a trial scenario. Our lawyers have experience in a range of courts and trial situations, and a success rate that surpasses our competition.

• Plead guilty to the offence but not the facts – By going down the ‘disputed facts’ path, you may be able to greatly diminish your sentence. We offer the experience and advocacy skills to amend charges for your benefit.

• Plead guilty – If you are guilty, we can help you to ensure the best possible outcome. This option requires specialised legal representation, with the matter going straight to sentencing.
