Our Difference as a team

Our legal teams have years of experience in handling these and a wide range of other criminal law-related matters. This means we are available from the time a person becomes the subject of police attention, and, depending upon which way their matter unfurls, throughout the bail, committal, pre-trial, trial, sentencing and appeal stages at all levels of the Queensland Court system. This includes the Magistrates Court, District Court and Supreme Court.

Due to the unpredictable nature of our work we know that we must be available to our clients and those who seek our representation 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Our commitment to our clients

We also consult with forensic experts in the medical, financial and scientific fields. Ours is a seamless representation to our clients of the highest calibre.

We strive to maintain the privacy of our clients. It is for this reason that, unless the unusual nature of the matter necessitates and our client expressly instructs, we avoid giving media interviews or otherwise attempt to leverage our clients’ publicity for our own benefit.

At Cridland & Hua Criminal Lawyers, we believe in performance, not promises; service, not selling; and action, not advertising. If you are looking for a Brisbane Criminal Law Firm look no further than Cridland & Hua Lawyers. Contact us today.
