What Does a Criminal Lawyer Do?

Criminal lawyers advocate for individuals accused of offences, ensuring their rights are upheld and they receive fair treatment.

At Spencer Lawyers, we handle a variety of criminal law roles, including:

We are here to guide you through the complexities of criminal law and represent your best interests in court.

Assault: Assault charges are divided into common assault and sexually related assault. Common assault carries a maximum of two years' imprisonment under Section 61I of the Crimes Act 1900, while sexual assault can have more severe consequences.
Drug Charges: Drug offences range from possession to large-scale supply. Offences involving prohibited drugs are detailed in the Drug Misuse and Trafficking Act, with penalties including life imprisonment for significant supply charges.
Firearm Offences: Owning or using a firearm without authorisation can result in up to 14 years’ imprisonment under the Weapons Prohibition Act 1998. Dangerous use of a firearm is treated as a separate offence with additional consequences.
Robbery: Robbery involves theft with force or intimidation. Section 94 of the Crimes Act 1900 defines this offence, which carries a potential sentence of up to 14 years. Armed robbery is a more severe offence, with penalties up to 20 years' imprisonment.
Breaking & Entering: Breaking and entering charges involve unlawful entry with intent to steal or commit an offence. Aggravated charges, involving weapons or multiple offenders, carry sentences up to 20 years under Section 112 of the Crimes Act 1900.
