What should I do if I am criminally charged by the police in Australia?

  • September 7, 2023

Home " Legal Blog " Melbourne Criminal Lawyers " What should I do if I am criminally charged by the police in Australia?

If you have been charged with a crime and believe you are innocent, consider taking the following actions:

  1. Understanding the law relating to the offence - The police/prosecution and the court will compare the elements of your case and the law relating to it. The first thing you need to know is the specific offence you have been charged with and what the legal elements of the offence are.
  2. Know the facts of the case - In many cases, even if the legal elements are established and you are convicted, you can still seek a reduction in your sentence to lessen the criminal law. You can find out what the reasonable mitigating factors are.
  3. Analysing the strength and use of the evidence in your case - Generally, evidence to prove or disprove your offence needs to be legally valid. Valid evidence can be used to prove or disprove a case and can also be used to apply for a reduction in sentence. The validity of evidence generally depends on the objectivity and reliability of the evidence.

Please contact us by private message to book a consultation with a solicitor who will provide you with specific advice about your case.
