Our Patch

Sydney City Crime covers all of Sydney but as our name suggests we focus on the city courts or the inner ring surrounding the city. Our home patch is the Downing Centre, Central Local Court, Sydney District Court and the Supreme Court of NSW. We have lawyers there every day facing the same judges and magistrates you will be dealing with. We know how these courts tick.

Get A Lawyer Fast

When you call Sydney City Crime you won’t get a secretary making an appointment sometime next week. You’ll speak with the Practice Manager or a senior lawyer straight up ready to discuss your matter.

We don’t charge to talk. We don’t charge for the first meetings. You’ll be matched with the best lawyer for your offence and the best lawyer for the courtroom you are facing.

What We Do

Some of the best work a lawyer will ever do won’t be in a courtroom, it will be in challenging facts and evidence before court and negotiating for the withdrawal or downgrading of charges. That task is one of the hallmarks of our practice. Investigations and written representations to police and prosecutors are a major and very successful part of our work.

Our practice covers all criminal offences and all courts:

  • Contested hearings
  • Sentences
  • Bail applications

We also have particular experience in:

  • Criminal Court Appeals
  • Commonwealth offences including drug importation and terror charges
  • Diversion into drug rehabilitation
  • Civil actions against the police for false imprisonment, assault and malicious prosecutions.

And yes, we will do serious traffic offences and of course every politician’s favourite crime….. DRUGS, DRUGS, DRUGS. If you face any kind of drug charge in NSW from importation to mere possession the decks are stacked. After 20 years of shock jocks and politicians wanting to seem tough on drugs many of our assumed rights have been stripped away. It’s harder to get bail. It is harder to run a defence. It is harder to be presumed innocent and the penalties can be extreme. A good lawyer is needed more than ever when facing any level of drug offence in NSW.
