Criminal law

If you are facing criminal charges, it is crucial to have effective representation immediately. Not only during trial, but also during the pretrial phase as well.

Law Access Firm, our criminal defense lawyer give your case our full time and attention, to ensure you are treated fairly under the criminal justice system.

Even if you think the facts of the case aren’t in your favor, having the best possible criminal representation can be the difference between jail time and probation, or having your record destroyed with an avoidable felony or misdemeanor conviction.

Money laundering and economic offences remain, to a large extent, unbailable offences and great care needs to be taken by body corporates, managers, directors, shareholders and senior management including reporting officers to ensure full compliance with these penal statutes.

At Law Access Attorneys, we are able to advise you on how best to maintain compliance with relevant regulatory frameworks and also how best to mitigate risk and manage any potential oversights.

We are able to provide advice, guidance and support both nationally and internationally if necessary.
