Michael Carroll & Co represents clients facing serious criminal allegations, including offences involving loss of life, serious injury, violence, threats, firearms, robbery, and false imprisonment.
These are serious matters that require early legal advice, careful preparation, and experienced representation. We advise clients from the investigation stage through to police interview, charge, court proceedings, trial, sentencing, and appeal where required.
Early legal advice can be important in serious criminal investigations. We assist clients before and during police interviews, including voluntary interviews, arrests, and police station attendances.
We explain the nature of the allegation, advise on the interview process, and help protect your position from the outset.
Where a matter proceeds to court, we provide representation and ongoing advice throughout the proceedings. Serious cases often involve detailed evidence, including witness statements, CCTV, phone evidence, medical evidence, forensic material, expert reports, and police disclosure.
We review the evidence carefully, identify the key issues, and prepare the case with attention to detail.
