Legal Answers from Experienced Sydney Law Firm
If you are arrested in New South Wales, you have the right to contact a criminal lawyer immediately. Under the Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002 (NSW), you are required to give police your name, address and date of birth, but you otherwise have the right to remain silent. Do not provide a formal statement or participate in an interview until you have received legal advice.
Yes. In NSW, criminal charges may be withdrawn by police or the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) before a hearing. The Local Court or District Court also has the power to dismiss charges in certain circumstances — for example, if the evidence is insufficient, or if the court grants a non-conviction order such as a Conditional Release Order (CRO) under the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 (NSW). Early intervention by an experienced criminal lawyer significantly improves the chances of charges being withdrawn or reduced.
While self-representation is permitted in NSW courts, it is strongly discouraged. The criminal justice system in NSW is complex, and the consequences of a conviction can include a permanent criminal record, licence disqualification, heavy fines, or imprisonment. Having a qualified criminal defence lawyer ensures your rights are protected and gives you the best chance at achieving a favourable outcome.
