Criminal law
If you are facing criminal allegations it is critical that you get legal advice from experienced criminal defence lawyers. Fill out your details here or call (08) 8212 1077 (SA), (08) 9211 5800 (WA), (07) 3373 0200 (QLD), (08) 8941 7814 (NT) or 1800 730 842 (ACT).
TGB Lawyers has a dedicated team of experienced criminal lawyers who can advise on whatever criminal charges you might be facing.
It is crucial to get good legal advice quickly when it comes to criminal allegations, as you can often face serious consequences. Many criminal offences carry a term of imprisonment and/or hefty fines. In addition, those accused of certain criminal offences may have their properties restrained (caveats) and if convicted, confiscated. Further, convictions for violent offences could see a person forced to pay criminal injury compensation. In addition, people that come to see us for advice are often facing reputational issues, and the prospects of losing their employment.
This is undeniably a stressful time for our clients. Our criminal law team doesn’t just offer our expertise and the promise of swift action, but we offer understanding, empathy, and honesty. No matter what the position might be, we know that you are seeking certainty in relation to what you might be facing, and seek regular communication so you feel reassured every step of the way.

Driving Offences
Charged with driving or traffic offences? You are entitled to get legal advice. Fill out your details here or call (08) 8212 1077 (SA), (08) 9211 5800 (WA), (07) 3373 0200 (QLD), (08) 8941 7814 (NT) or 1800 730 842 (ACT).
The consequences of a driving or traffic offence can be serious, even threatening your reputation and ability to earn. Our criminal law team represent people accused of various driving offences including traffic violations, DUI (driving under the influence), driving with the prescribed concentration of alcohol in their blood (drink driving), drug driving, dangerous driving and drivers licence suspensions. These types of cases can be challenging, but with our comprehensive knowledge of traffic laws and regulations, as well as our deep understanding of the legal processes involved, we are committed to providing comprehensive legal guidance and representation to individuals facing driving-related charges.
Whether someone is pleading guilty to an offence or seeking to challenge the allegation, we take the time to review the evidence and ensure that all procedures have been complied with. We begin by thoroughly reviewing the circumstances of the case, including the evidence, witness statements, and applicable traffic laws. Our team of criminal lawyers carefully analyse the strength of the prosecution’s case and identify any potential defences or mitigating factors. This enables us to provide tailored advice specific to each client’s unique circumstances and develop a defence strategy.
Our criminal law team works closely with clients to guide them through the legal process and explain their rights and options. We provide clear explanations of the potential consequences, legal defences, and available alternatives. We ensure that our clients understand the implications of their choices and help them make informed decisions.
Allegations of drink driving or drug driving are serious, particularly now that Police have the power to impound a person’s vehicle. We also represent people accused of driving without due care and driving in a way that is culpably negligent, reckless, at speed or dangerous to the public.
We understand the importance of minimising the impact of driving or traffic offences on our clients’ lives and livelihoods. We provide guidance on mitigating potential penalties, including advocating for reduced fines, drivers licence reinstatement, or alternative sentencing options. We strive to protect our clients’ driving privileges and minimise the long-term consequences of driving offences.
Driver Fatigue
Whether you’re an individual or a corporation, liability for breaches of Heavy Vehicle Driver Fatigue laws can arise for everyone in the chain of responsibility who do not take reasonable steps to prevent driver fatigue. Our team of criminal defence lawyers in Australia can help you navigate this new and technical area of law.
Extraordinary Licences (Western Australia only)
If you have been disqualified from holding a drivers licence, you may be able to apply for an Extraordinary Licence for purposes such as work. We can assist in preparing these applications and representing you in the Magistrates Court.
