Criminal & Traffic Law

The criminal system can be complex, stressful and difficult to navigate. 

If you have been charged with a criminal or traffic offence or have been asked to attend the police station for an interview it is important that you organise legal advice in relation to your particular matter and circumstances at the earliest opportunity. This will enable you to work with Tess to develop a strategy for your case.
