Navigating the complexities of legal disputes involving MALICIOUS PROSECUTION, UNLAWFUL ARREST, and FALSE IMPRISONMENT requires expertise, experience, and a deep understanding of the law.
Our team is adept at navigating the intricacies of the administrative law aspects of the criminal justice system in Australia. We specialise in representing clients who have been wronged by law enforcement or other authorities.

MALICIOUS PROSECUTION occurs when legal action is initiated against an individual without reasonable grounds and with a malicious intent, resulting in harm to the person’s reputation, livelihood, or freedom.
Malicious prosecution can sometimes involve charges related to actual bodily harm, which further complicates the legal process. In such cases, it is crucial to demonstrate that the defendant restrained the alleged victim against their will, which can involve physical restraint or threats.
This type of abuse of the legal process can have devastating consequences, not just in terms of financial loss but also emotional distress and damage to one’s reputation.

RACIAL PROFILING is a form of discrimination that occurs when law enforcement officials (such as Police Officers) target individuals for suspicion of crime based on their race, ethnicity, or nationality.
If you have been racially profiled, or if you have experienced police misconduct in any other form, you may be entitled to compensation – or other remedies.

Being wrongfully charged with a criminal offence can lead to significant personal and professional harm, making it essential to seek compensation for the damages suffered. This compensation can cover various damages, including loss of income, emotional distress, and damage to reputation.
