Serious Offences
Serious indictable offences carry the heaviest penalties in the ACT criminal justice system, including lengthy terms of imprisonment. Charges such as armed robbery, aggravated burglary, large commercial drug supply, serious assault, and sexual offences are prosecuted in the ACT Supreme Court and require experienced, senior-level defence from the outset. At Andrew Byrnes Law Group, we provide urgent advice from first police contact, manage complex bail applications, prepare for committal and trial, and where appropriate negotiate charge or facts resolutions that protect liberty and reputation. If you or someone you know is facing a serious criminal charge, early legal intervention can make a decisive difference to the outcome.
