Frequently Asked Questions
What criminal matters can a paralegal handle?
Paralegals can defend summary conviction offences with maximum 6 months jail: theft under $5000, simple assault, mischief under $5000, causing a disturbance, and some drug offences.
Should I use a paralegal or lawyer for criminal charges?
For summary offences, paralegals offer the same court representation at lower cost. For indictable or hybrid offences with potential jail over 6 months, you need a lawyer.
How long will this affect my insurance?
A traffic conviction typically affects insurance rates for 3 years from conviction date. Impact varies by insurer and offence. Fighting often costs less than long-term insurance increase.
Will I get a criminal record?
Not necessarily. Many first offences qualify for diversion, discharges, or peace bonds that avoid a criminal record. We pursue the best outcome for your situation.
