Criminal Law

If you are facing a criminal or traffic charge, Nightingale Lawyers is here to support you. There are two general approaches: plead not guilty and defend the charge by proving your own set of facts, or plead guilty and mitigate the penalty by demonstrating remorse and good character.

Either way, you need someone you can speak to and trust. We know how to ask the right questions so you can achieve the best possible outcome, and we are dedicated to defending your rights in Court.

Criminal offences

We act in a wide range of criminal matters and appear in all courts in NSW, including urgent bail applications (on weekends and public holidays), sentencing hearings and defended hearings.

We pride ourselves on accurately predicting the outcome of a matter so you can make informed decisions. Your liberty is the most important thing. The prosecution must prove its case beyond reasonable doubt — if you believe the Police have made an error, we can help you test and prove it.

Traffic offences

We assist with drink driving, driving while suspended or disqualified, careless or dangerous driving and all other traffic charges, including appeals against licence suspensions and demerit point suspensions.

We understand how important your licence is to your job, family and freedom. We will thoroughly investigate your case, prepare you for Court and advocate strongly on your behalf.

Legal Aid

If you have received a grant of legal aid we can assist you. We are on the Summary Crime and Indictable Crime panels — contact us and we can be assigned to your matter.

For urgent after-hours matters, call our landline, which forwards to our duty solicitor after hours.
