Criminal Matters
If you are going to the local court about a criminal matter, you can speak to a duty lawyer. Duty lawyers are available at local courts every day. If this is your first time in court and you want to see a duty lawyer, you should be at court by 9am.

If your case has been adjourned or you are pleading 'not guilty' you should contact a Legal Aid office well before your hearing.

Legal Aid may also be able to help you if you are appearing in the District Court, Supreme Court or the Court of Criminal Appeal.

Our lawyers can help you if you are on remand and want to appeal to the Supreme Court in Sydney for bail.
