We act in selected areas where careful preparation, clear advice, and direct involvement by the principal lawyer can make a practical difference.
Criminal Defence and Traffic Law
If you are contacted by police, charged with an offence, or required to attend court, obtaining advice early can protect your position and help you make informed decisions. We examine the allegations and available evidence, explain your options, communicate with police and prosecutors where appropriate, and represent you in court.
Our criminal law work includes:
-
advice before or after a police interview;summary and indictable charges;
-
pleas, sentencing, and diversion applications;
-
bail applications and alleged breaches of court orders;
-
driving and traffic offences; and
-
fraud, financial, and other white-collar allegations.

WHAT WE DO
FOR YOU
Intervention Orders
We act for respondents and applicants in Family Violence Intervention Order and Personal Safety Intervention Order matters. We advise on interim and final orders, proposed conditions, negotiation, contested hearings, and any related criminal allegations.
An intervention order is a civil order and is not itself a criminal conviction. An alleged breach can, however, lead to criminal charges. If you have been served with an application, contacted by police, or need protection, obtain advice promptly.

Divorce, Financial Agreements, Family Law and Wills
We assist with binding financial agreements made before, during, or after a marriage or de facto relationship. This includes drafting agreements and providing independent legal advice on agreements prepared for the other party. Each party must obtain separate legal advice.
We also accept selected matters involving:
-
divorce applications;
-
property and financial issues following separation;
-
wills and estate planning;
-
enduring powers of attorney; and
-
appointments of medical treatment decision makers.
Solicitors' Certificates
If a bank or lender requires you to obtain a solicitor’s certificate before signing a loan, mortgage, guarantee or related financial document, ALFA Lawyers can review the documents with you, explain their legal effect and the obligations and risks you would assume, and, where appropriate, provide the required certificate.
Prompt appointments may be available in person or by videoconference where accepted by the lender, subject to satisfactory identification and sufficient time for proper review. Contact Al directly to discuss the lender’s requirements, the documents needed and our applicable fixed fee.
