With the amount of time most people spend on the roads, it is almost unavoidable that at some point you will be charged with a traffic infringement notice or a more serious traffic-related offence. Most of the time, these more serious offences occur due to a momentary lapse in judgement and can often have significant consequences imposed by the court.
Family and domestic relationships are very personal as they often involve spouses and children, with any disputes or fights usually occurring behind closed doors. When a relationship breaks down to the point where someone fears for their own or their children’s safety, it is important to seek comprehensive, straightforward, and sensitive advice from a domestic violence lawyer in Brisbane as soon as possible.
Being charged with or facing the possibility of being charged with a criminal offence is often a very difficult and confronting time in a person’s life. For many of our clients, this is the first time being faced with a criminal charge, and they are naturally unaware of the way in which these matters proceed through the Queensland Court System.

Thanks for the review Finn. Happy we were able to help and get the result we did. 
A friend recommended Mitchell to me when I was in search of a lawyer with remarkable feedback. After meeting with Mitchell I was confident my matter was in good hands. For nearly 2 years of business with Mitchell I was given nothing short of professional, reliable and flexible. Mitchell handled everything in a good and timely matter, making my first experience through the legal system much less stressful for me with a positive and better than expected end result. Mitchell’s patience and assistance during this time was paramount as I had a concerning minimal amount of knowledge in Law/Court and what to expect for my future, for that I am extremely thankful and be calling him again if ever needed.
