JGFAQs
Am I going to jail?
The penalty for your criminal offence will depend on a range of factors including the nature and severity of your case, as well as whether you are a first-time offender. As penalties vary, we recommend speaking to a lawyer to assess the seriousness of your case. During your obligation-free consultation, we’ll assess your crime and determine the possible outcomes—including whether or not you may face jail time.
Will I need to attend court?
In Queensland, you generally need to attend court for criminal charges. Failing to appear can lead to increased penalties. Your lawyer will appear with you and prepare you for what will happen during the court proceedings. This will include clear guidance on what you need to do and say so that you know what to expect at every stage.
Do I need a criminal lawyer?
As the outcome of criminal cases can be significantly affected by the steps you take, it’s critical to seek legal representation. The legal system is complex and if you fail to provide the right evidence, say the right thing, or negotiate effectively, you can end up with a heavier fine or longer jail time.
Do I have to go to the police station to answer questions?
No, you’re not required to speak to police if they ask you to come down to the station for questioning. If this happens, contact your lawyer as soon as possible so they can advise you on the best next steps.
