O'Brien Criminal & Civil Solicitors

O'Brien Criminal & Civil Solicitors is based on Castlereagh Street in the Sydney CBD and focuses on criminal, traffic and civil litigation matters. The firm acts for individuals and for business clients dealing with investigations, enforcement issues or disputes. Matters can begin at the police investigation, first appearance or bail stage and may continue through hearings, trials, appeals or complex civil proceedings.

The criminal practice covers a broad range of charges, including serious matters that require detailed analysis of evidence and procedure. Lawyers can help clients understand the allegations, police material, available defences, plea options and the practical consequences of different choices. Where bail, searches, questioning or urgent court appearances are involved, early legal assistance can be particularly important so that rights, deadlines and required documents are properly addressed.

Traffic work includes drink and drug driving, dangerous driving, licence suspension or cancellation and other road-related offences. For clients who rely on a licence for employment or business, the practical consequences can be significant, so advice considers both the legal process and the client’s circumstances. The civil practice deals with rights-based disputes, matters involving public authorities and other litigation, using correspondence, negotiation and court procedures as appropriate.
