FAQs About Criminal Lawyers in Blacktown
When should I call a Criminal Lawyer?
You should contact an experienced Blacktown criminal lawyer in any of the following situations:
If you are arrested: You have the right to speak to a lawyer immediately after an arrest. Exercising this right early protects your interests.
If you are being investigated: If NSW Police have contacted you for questioning or you’re under investigation, seek urgent legal advice to understand your rights and options.
If you have been charged with a criminal offence: Whether it’s a minor traffic matter or a serious indictable offence, a criminal defence lawyer ensures your rights are protected throughout the process.
Do I need a Criminal Lawyer?
Technically, you can represent yourself in all NSW Courts, with limited exceptions. However, retaining a criminal lawyer in Blacktown gives you the benefit of legal skill, courtroom advocacy, and strategic advice. Important considerations include:
What are my rights, and how do I exercise them? A lawyer explains your rights and ensures they are properly protected.
What is the court process? Court procedures are complex; knowing how they operate helps achieve better outcomes.
Do I have a defence, and how do I present it? A valid defence must be identified and effectively argued.
How do I negotiate with the prosecution? Skilled advocacy is essential in negotiations.
How do I challenge prosecution evidence? You may be entitled to dispute or exclude evidence. This requires strong legal knowledge.
What can I present in mitigation of penalty? A lawyer can prepare persuasive submissions to in mitigation of sentence.
What appeal rights do I have? If unhappy with an outcome, you may have rights of appeal. Understanding this process is crucial.
Do you handle all kinds of criminal cases?
Yes. At AMA Legal, our criminal defence lawyers represent clients in all types of criminal law matters across NSW Courts. We handle everything from traffic offences and AVO applications to serious assaults and drug charges, appearing regularly at Blacktown Local Court.
How long will my criminal case take?
The time it takes to resolve a criminal case in NSW can vary significantly depending on several key factors. While the Courts aim to finalise matters promptly, the following elements may impact the duration:
The Court hearing the matter: Local Court proceedings are generally faster than those in the District or Supreme Court.
Plea entered: A guilty plea may result in a quicker resolution, whereas a not guilty plea usually requires a hearing or trial, extending the timeline.
Custody status: Whether the accused is in custody or on bail can affect how quickly a matter is listed and finalised.
Court caseload: Backlogs in specific Court registries may delay hearing dates, especially in busier Courts.
Witness availability: The availability of prosecution and defence witnesses is often critical to scheduling and progress.
Negotiations: Extended negotiations with the prosecution can impact how quickly a matter progresses to hearing.
Pre-trial applications: In higher courts, the need for pre-trial motions, evidentiary rulings, or legal arguments may add complexity and time.
If you’re facing charges, our criminal defence lawyers at AMA Legal can guide you through the process and keep you informed about expected timeframes for your matter.
What should I do if I am arrested?
If you are arrested by Police in NSW, follow these steps to protect your rights:
Remain calm: Do not resist arrest. Stay composed and avoid any confrontation.
Follow instructions: Cooperate with Police by listening carefully to their directions and complying respectfully.
Ask to speak to a lawyer: Before answering questions or participating in a Police interview, request to speak with a criminal defence lawyer. This ensures you receive proper legal advice and your rights are protected from the outset.
