Newcastle Legal

Newcastle Legal provides comprehensive assistance to individuals facing a range of criminal charges, including driving and traffic offences, PCA and DUI, drug offences, assault, and intervention orders such as AVOs, ADVOs, and APVOs. Their team guides clients through the legal process by carefully analysing the evidence, explaining the nature of the charges, and outlining potential outcomes based on whether a guilty or not guilty plea is entered. This approach ensures clients are well-informed and supported when making critical decisions. With extensive experience representing clients in courts across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, and the Lower Hunter, Newcastle Legal advocates effectively for their clients' interests. They handle court appearances, engage in negotiations with law enforcement and prosecutors, and challenge the admissibility of evidence when appropriate, aiming to secure the best possible result, including dismissal of charges where evidence is insufficient.
