Lawson Legal offers afree initial consultation with one of its experienced lawyers.

Trials

After a person has been charged with a criminal offence or a serious traffic matter, they must elect whether to plead guilty or not guilty. Trials in Western Australia are conducted either in the Supreme Court, District Court or magistrates’ court, depending on the seriousness of the offence. Lawson Legal represents its clients at trial for a number of legal matters.

Sentencing

After a person has been convicted of an offence, he or she will be sentenced. An experienced criminal lawyer Perth CBD based can help minimise that sentence and get the best possible result. 

Spent Convictions

A spent conviction absolves an offender of the burden of having a criminal record. During the sentencing process, submissions can also be made for an offender to receive a spent conviction. The court must be satisfied that the offender was a person of prior good character and not likely to re-offend in the future. It must also be established that a criminal record would have an adverse effect on the offender, usually in terms of securing employment. Lawson legal offers exemplary services in these areas.
