Defensa penal

Criminal & Traffic Law

We understand that no matter what the allegations or charges involved, criminal and police proceedings can have a devastating impact on the defendant and their families.

 

If you have been accused of a criminal matter or a traffic offence, it is important that you obtain sound legal advice as soon as possible.

 
 

  • Serious Crime
  • Minor Crime
  • Traffic Offences
  • Court trials and appearances
  • Bail applications
  • Negotiations with Prosecution

 
 

Bail Applications

If you have been arrested, you are entitled to make an Application for Bail. A lawyer from Stokes Legal or a barrister engaged by Stokes Legal can represent you in Court on an Application for Bail or, if bail is refused, then on a Bail Review in the Supreme Court of South Australia.

 

Negotiations

Discussions with Prosecution can effectively resolve how a case proceeds or reduce the time required to finalise a matter. It is crucial that Prosecution make full and proper disclosure of all prosecution material and any other material or facts which may affect the outcome of a case.

 

Stokes Legal or Counsel engaged by Stokes Legal can handle the negotiations on your behalf.

Court Trials and Appearances

Your choice of a barrister to appear in Court and at Trial is very important. Stokes Legal can provide assistance with your choice of barrister, taking proper statements from witnesses, gathering evidence and preparing of a comprehensive Brief to Counsel in the defence of a charge or charges.

 

We are unable to accept criminal cases on a Legal Aid basis. If you require Legal Aid we suggest you contact the Legal Services Commission of South Australia.

Legal Advice for Criminal Matters

Stokes Legal can provide you with the legal advice you need for criminal matters, such as:

 
 

  • Advice before or during an interview with police
  • Advice on charges
  • Advice on potential outcomes
