Criminal Defence Work
We are specialists in criminal defence work. Our solicitors routinely handle serious charges—murder, drug offences, sexual assault, and driving offences, including fatal DUI cases. They appear in Supreme, District, Local, and Children’s Courts.
We also manage bail applications, committal proceedings, guilty pleas, judge-alone trials, appeals, and complex jury trials. Our criminal law accreditation reflects years of courtroom experience and rigorous training.
Traffic Matters
We provide expert advice and representation if you face traffic-related charges, such as drink driving (DUI/PCA), licence disqualification, speeding, or other infractions. Our team understands how serious these can be for your daily life, work, and license.
We can assist with court hearings, mitigation, plea negotiations, and appeals of traffic decisions. We work to reduce penalties or keep your licence where possible.
Apprehended Violence Orders
When you are either applying for, defending, or subject to an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO), you need legal support to protect your rights. Randall Legal provides skilled advice and representation in AVO matters.
Coronial Inquests
Coronial matters require sensitivity and specialist advocacy. We represent both families of the deceased and persons of interest. Our lawyers have experience appearing in coronial inquests and inquests with high public interest.
Family & Children's Law
Family and Children’s Law matters — including disputes over parenting, child support, separation, divorce, and adoption — are handled with compassion and professionalism. We are an accredited family law practice, so you get specialist advice.
We know these cases are emotionally complex. We work to reach fair outcomes and, where possible, avoid drawn‐out court battles. When a court is needed, we help provide strong representation.
Employment Law & Industrial Relations
If you have workplace issues—unfair dismissal, discrimination, wage disputes, or industrial relations matters—Randall Legal can help. We advise employees and employers.
We appear before tribunals and Industrial Relations commissions to protect rights, negotiate agreements, and pursue compensation or remedy where required.
Conveyancing
Property transactions need precision. Whether you are buying, selling or transferring property, we handle the legal side with care. This includes drafting contracts, conducting searches, handling settlements, and advising on obligations.
General & Civil Litigation
We provide civil litigation services for disputes outside criminal law — debts, contract disputes, compensation, and claims against government bodies. We take on small claims as well as complex cases involving institutions.
We offer “no win, no fee” arrangements where possible for eligible cases. We strive to reduce clients' stress and financial risk.
Wills & Estates
We help you plan for the future: drafting Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Advanced Care Directives. When disputes arise, such as contested wills or estate claims, we represent your interests.
We also assist with appointing guardians and enduring guardian documents, ensuring legal obligations, fairness and clarity.
Guardianship & Mental Health
Randall Legal has expertise in guardianship matters, including when a person’s capacity is questioned. We appear before Guardianship Tribunals. We help with Advanced Care Directives and Mental Health Review Tribunal cases.
