24.01.2022 Being charged with a criminal offence can be an overwhelming and daunting experience. This is especially so if this is your first encounter with police or other investigators and the courts.

We will keep you informed throughout the process. We will give you frank and honest advice. We genuinely want to achieve the best possible result for you.

23.01.2022 Setting the scene for a television interview? Make sure any props used for colour and movement have not been produced to the court under compulsion.

The CCTV footage was played in the background on a computer while the solicitor was being interviewed by a tv network.

21.01.2022 Will I be convicted if I plead guilty? As criminal defence lawyers, this is a question we get asked almost daily. Obviously the answer is going to be different for every person and no lawyer will be able to guarantee a particular outcome at court.

At Kingston Fox Lawyers, we have over 30 years combined experience in criminal law matters. That ...equals a lot of matters over a long period of time!

14.01.2022 Police want to "have a chat" with me - what should I do? Sometimes police will contact you and say theyd like to "have a chat" about a criminal allegation. Usually this means that they want to interview you to gather evidence in their investigation against you. Should you do an interview? This is a tricky question and the answer is not always straightforward. Our best advice is to speak to a criminal lawyer before you attend a police station to get some advice specific to y...ou.

08.01.2022 In order for courts in NSW to continue with "business as usual", the NSW Parliament introduced a number of temporary changes to the Criminal Procedure Act (NSW), amongst others. One change is to allow greater access to judge-alone trials while jury trials are temporarily suspended. Recent decisions in the NSW District Court have emphasised the clear intention of parliament that the business of courts must continue where possible. The single test to be applied by the court in ...deciding whether a matter may proceed by judge alone is whether its in the "interests of justice". Those recent decisions have referred to the interests of justice as including: Simply because the accused person has made the application The considerable delay that would occur if the matter were to be heard by a jury That the length of the delay cannot be stated with any certainty That the accused is custody and is likely to remain there until trial The clear intention of the NSW Parliament that the business of the court continue To shorten the length of time that an accused person is in a state of suspense. . . . . #kingstonfoxlawyers #criminaldefencelawyers #criminaldefence #criminallawyersydney #judgealone #nsw #criminaltrials #juries See more

08.01.2022 LEGAL PROFESSIONAL PRIVILEGE This is one of the most important and unique protections that you have when you engage a lawyer to act for you. It means that your relationship with your lawyer is one of trust. It means that the information you provide to your lawyer about your legal matter, either in a conversation or in a document, is confidential and protected. It can also mean that your lawyer cant tell members of your family (even if theyre paying the bill) things you say to them without your permission. Want to know more about LPP?

05.01.2022 Are criminal courts in NSW "back to business"? We've been asked recently whether courts are running back as normal, now that COVID-19 restrictions are easing. The short answer is yes. In the Local Court, things are pretty much back to normal with appearances in person the preference of the court. Things in the District Court continue to remain altered with more video court appearances and less jury trials running than pre-COVID. ... There are of course, social-distancing measures in place in all courts with limits on numbers allowed inside, and temperature checks just to name a couple. Do you have a court date coming up?

03.01.2022 The Guardian Australia recently reported that NSW Police spent $24 million last financial year on almost 300 legal claims brought against officers. Some of this figure includes settlements for serious misconduct claims including battery, false imprisonment and malicious prosecution.

01.01.2022 In the last 2 months or so, all of our lives have been altered by the countrys response to the pandemic. Weve been subject to restrictions on our movements and basic freedoms that few of us have experienced in our lifetimes. Whats fresh in the minds of criminal lawyers, amongst others, is the question of proportionality - what measures need to be taken to flatten the curve proportional to the objective, balanced with a limitation on the time we are required to comply. What...s promising are the changes being made, allowing us a slow and steady return to normal, like for instance lifting the restrictions on regional travel in NSW, coming from 1 June. . . . . #kingstonfoxlawyers #sydneylawyers #criminaldefencelawyers #covid19 See more
