When you are fighting the fight of your life, rest assured.
We’ve got your back.
Let us fight fearlessly for you.
Andrew Byrnes Law Group is a criminal law firm that prides itself on fighting fearlessly and aggressively to ensure that you get the best possible outcome if you have been charged with a crime.
We have fought in the most serious of criminal cases and in cases where there is less on the line. We recognise that each and every criminal charge is important and we take every criminal law matter as seriously as the next and don’t roll over when the going gets tough.
The job of the police and prosecutors is to try to prove the case against you. It’s not your job to prove your innocence. Our focus is on making the police and prosecutors’ job as difficult as possible and fighting fearlessly so that you get the best possible result in your case.
We will help you understand what your options are and what legal strategy or defence to adopt so that you can secure the best possible outcome. Defence of criminal law matters is an art – don’t hire a criminal lawyer who will just turn up on the day. Hire a criminal lawyer who truly has your best interests at heart.
Consistent with our mission statement and our deliberate difference from the rest, when we take on a case, we assess what needs to be done at the outset and offer fair fees for your case.
The criminal lawyers at Andrew Byrnes Law Group provide competent, fearless and aggressive representation to clients charged with any criminal offence. If you are located in Canberra, Queanbeyan, Goulburn, Wollongong, Yass, Cooma, Wagga Wagga, or the surrounding areas, working with an experienced criminal defence lawyer from one of the Australia’s most reputable criminal law firms can make a massive difference in your case.
Here are some of the criminal cases we take on:
Traffic and driving offences in Australia are not taken lightly. Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, driving at excessive speeds, driving recklessly or dangerously, driving without due care and attention – these are all driving offences that have fairly serious consequences for those convicted. Our law firm can defend you against any traffic and driving charges so that you can avoid harsh penalties and maintain a clean record.
Apprehended Violence Orders ( AVOs ) are legal orders to protect people from violence or harassment. AVOs can be made by police, courts or government agencies such as the Department of Youth and Community Services. Whether you are an applicant who wants to ensure your order is made or a respondent who is looking to have a vexatious order withdrawn or thrown out the court, our lawyers are experts in AVO proceedings and can help you get the results you seek.
Australian drug law is complex. Some drug laws are federal, while others vary depending on the state or territory where your crime was committed. If you are caught in possession, using, making, importing, or trafficking any illegal drugs, you may face penalties such as costly fines, jail time, periodic detention, or community service orders. The Andrew Byrnes Law Group team can provide clear advice about charges against drug offences and provide top-notch legal representation to clients when needed.
Murder and manslaughter are both crimes that involve the death of another person. However, murder is distinguished by intent to kill or cause grievous bodily harm while manslaughter can be committed with either intent or recklessness. A guilty verdict for murder carries a mandatory life sentence, but murder can also be judged as manslaughter. Manslaughter carries a lesser penalty of 25 years imprisonment with the option to reduce more than half of the murder charge. If you’ve been charged with murder or manslaughter, our criminal law specialists will formulate a strong defence strategy for you.
Fraud offences carry heavy penalties that can have devastating impacts on your future if convicted. In the most serious of fraud offences, defendants may be sentenced to a punishment as severe as many years in prison. Fraud charges include bribery, forgery, false accounting, insurance fraud, and money laundering, among many others. If you are being investigated for fraud or have been charged with fraud, we highly advise that you seek legal representation immediately to give yourself a better chance of securing the best outcome possible in your case.
In Australia assault charges can be brought against an individual in cases of simple and serious assault, unlawful wounding, grievious bodily harm, and sexual assault, which includes rape, touching without consent, and improper sexual advancements. Many people wrongly assume that assault is a minor offence. However, if you have been charged with assault in Australia, it is important to seek legal advice from our criminal lawyers as the penalties for an assault conviction are quite harsh, with penalties ranging from fines to actual imprisonment.
Property offences refer to crimes that involve property. Examples of property-related offences include theft, property damage, receiving stolen property and arson. Property offences are considered to be less serious than violent crimes or public order offences. However, property offences can still carry substantial penalties if found guilty. People with criminal records may face employment problems. This means it is important to work with a criminal defence lawyer if you or someone you care about has been accused or charged with a property-related crime.
Other criminal matters we take on include, for example:
