Having worked both “sides of the fence” as police prosecutors and as defence lawyers…
Areas Of Law
We’re uniquely positioned to apply our extensive knowledge of the system, along with years of practical experience, to gain the best outcome for you. For peace of mind, we offer fixed fees on most matters.
Family Law Services
Whether it be a separation, divorce or property or custody dispute, the breakdown of a family unit is a stressful and difficult time for all involved.
The lawyers at Nightingale Law are here to guild you through these significant life changes, providing you with guidance and advice every step of the way. It’s vital that you have competent personal representation, and our goal is to ensure you have that, while achieving the best possible outcome in your family law matter.
Criminal Law Services
Being charged with a criminal offence can result in life-changing consequences, such as a custodial sentence, loss of employment or restrictions on overseas travel.
The process itself is often overwhelming and frightening, especially as for many, being charged with an offence is most likely their first interaction with the criminal justice system. Nightingale Law have decades of experience in dealing with police and working within the criminal justice system and are best placed to represent people who find themselves being charged with a criminal offence.
If you or someone you know has been charged by police, or has been arrested or detained, call us now to speak with one of our experienced lawyers who can guide you through the process and ensure you obtain the best possible outcome.
Domestic Violence Services
Do you need assistance with applying for a domestic violence order?
The team at Nightingale Law are passionate about advocating on your behalf. We understand that this is an extremely stressful time and will provide expert advice to relieve some of that pressure.
Domestic violence can include physical, emotional, sexual, verbal and financial abuse. We want to assist you so that you are able to understand the process and move forward with confidence.
We offer a fixed fee service to provide you with ease of mind.
Traffic Law Services
If you have been charged with a traffic offence, such as excessive speeding or drink driving, you could find yourself facing a hefty fine and being without a licence for a considerable period of time…a result which may cause you to lose your job.
Nightingale Law have a wealth of experience in traffic law and are best placed to represent you if you find yourself before the court for a traffic matter. Our goal is to ensure that you receive the best possible outcome at court.
If you are considering fighting a traffic ticket contact us, as although you may have a good explanation for the offence, taking it to court could result in an even larger fine. It needs to be done right.
Licence Appeals Services
For many, holding a driver licence is a necessity for work or just day-to-day living. The courts, however, view driving on the road as a privilege, not a right.
Losing your licence can have a massive impact on your ability to hold a job, earn money or uphold your caring responsibilities.
Nightingale Law are experts at applications for a work licence, special hardship orders and licence reinstatement applications. With our experience, we know how to put the best possible case forward to the court to enable you to keep your licence.
Child Protection
We understand that parents and carers feel a heavy emotional burden when they are at risk of losing custody of their children through the child protection system.
The Nightingale Law team are experienced and familiar with the complexity of the legal system and the intricate rules and regulations which govern this area of the law.
Our team are familiar with the delicate balance between advocating for our client’s interests and the best interests and welfare of the children. We understand this requires a delicate balance when providing legal advice and representation to our clients ensuring fair proceedings in child protection matters.
