While many criminal matters are dealt with in the Magistrates Court, some cases proceed to higher courts depending on the seriousness of the charge.

If you have been charged with a criminal offence, it is important to obtain legal advice before your first court appearance so that you understand the evidence and the options available to you.

Legal Representation When Legal Aid Is Refused

Many people facing criminal charges do not qualify for Legal Aid due to income, assets, or the nature of the alleged offence.

Advocacy Lawyers provides cost-effective criminal defence representation for clients who require private legal representation. 

If Legal Aid has been refused, it is important to understand your options before your next court appearance. Read our guide explaining what to do if Legal Aid is denied in Queensland.
