We’re the largest criminal law practice in New Zealand with over 150 criminal defence lawyers in 10 offices across New Zealand.
We only do criminal legal aid defence work.
After Legal Aid Services has granted legal aid we provide legal advice and representation to our clients. All our clients have been charged with a criminal offence.
We can help with all stages of the criminal process. This includes initial advice, trial, sentencing, and any appeals to the High Court, the Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court. We also represent clients at parole hearings.
All of our lawyers are approved to provide criminal legal aid services by the Secretary for Justice.
