FAQs
When should I call a lawyer for criminal defence?
It’s worth contacting a lawyer as soon as police want to interview you. As the police are there to gather information, before you speak to police, contact Shelly Legal to obtain advice.
As well as offering consultation on criminal matters, Shelly Legal also provides professional speaking engagements for educational purposes on criminal justice and policy. Please book a speaking engagement online to learn more.
Do criminal courts cover divorces, wills, or mediation?
Criminal courts do not typically cover divorces, will planning, or mediation proceedings. These are much more likely to be covered in a civil court jurisdiction, such as the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia or the Supreme Court of New South Wales. However, we are still able to assist — here at Shelly Legal, we also offer services such as family law, mediation, or estates services. Get in touch with us today to receive professional assistance with your case.
