Serious charges

What?

Serious, or Indictable, matters are those that carry the highest penalties, of up to 25 years imprisonment.

These include offences against the person including murder, manslaughter, sexual assault/intercourse, fraud, wounding, importation, proceeds of crime, pervert the course of justice, distribution of offensive material, and those mentioned elsewhere on this site.

Why do you need a lawyer?

These are matters that must proceed to the District or Supreme Court to be heard by a judge, and sometimes a jury. This process can be quite daunting for people and engaging a competent solicitor will not only ensure that you receive the best legal defence, but also ease the stress of the process for you.

How can we help?

We are able to review your Brief of Evidence and provide you with solid advice about how your matter should proceed. We take great pride in tailoring our advice to our client’s specific situation.

If you wish to plead not guilty to the offence, we have a wealth of trial experience and work with highly regarded barristers to ensure that the judge and jury see your best defence.

If you wish to plead guilty, we are strong negotiators and have successfully negotiated to have charges withdrawn and dismissed, or downgraded, to ensure that your sentence is appropriate for you and the conduct.
We work with medical professionals and your personal contacts to ensure that the judge gets to know you personally by proving effective subjective material in addition to making powerful submissions in your favour.

Whatever the charge or how you wish to plead, we will fight for the best outcome for you, taking into account all the evidence and legal options.

Contact Cassandra or Robert if our office for a free, no-obligation discussion about your options.

David Kashan

When it comes to selecting a lawyer, you want someone who cares, someone who can understand your situation and is able to represent you in the best way possible. I could say that’s what I found when I spoke to Maria from HNT Legal and she was with me from the beginning to the end. I have referred her to family and friends and will continue to recommend her moving forward.

Ed Johnson

The team at HNT Legal are consummate professionals. As well as applying their expertise at the highest standard, they fully understand the value of friendly, supportive relationships with their clients. Always an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Chris Formosa

I have been dealing with HNT Legal over the last 2 to 3 years and have to say that they are the most pleasant, knowledgable and what you require from a legal team very thorough, nothing is ever a problem and the most frustrating thing you can have is never have your phone calls returned again they excel always calling back when required. I wanted to send this special mention to the HNT team as again we are very satisfied.

Sam McCarthy

For me Law is about more than cases, arguments, documents or advice.  It’s about how a lawyer understands your unique circumstances, the commercial realities and often complexities that exist, and then applies their expertise to provide truly personalised advice.  Having worked with HNT over the last 4 years I can attest to the fact that HNT cares about people and this is reflected in their advice and outcomes achieved.   

Sheila Cabcungan

My family searched for years to find the right Lawyers we could build a relationship with. We found that with HNT Legal. HNT Legal is firmly planted in Western Sydney, just like us and we’re indebted to the legal advice we’ve received. HNT have helped my family across all aspects of our life from structuring the family business and wealth to advising individual family members in times of crisis. The HNT Legal Team are our wise Legal Counsel and will be for generations to come.

David MacKay

I have been a client of HNT Legal for about 3 years now and can say that each interaction and experience over that time has been treated with professionalism and respect no matter the size or relative ease or complexity the matter has been. I have always been made to feel as though we have a professional relationship not just a client with a transactional request, they truly take the time to get to know my needs and care about the outcomes I am after and have gone above and beyond my expectations. I have never hesitated in recommending HNT Legal and their team to my clients and partners and that will continue.
