Practice areas

Three areas of law. Experienced advocacy in your corner.

01 / Criminal law

Charged, or under police investigation?

From assault, drug and AVO matters through to serious charges before a jury, we prepare every matter as though it is going to hearing. That preparation is what gets charges reduced, withdrawn or successfully defended.

Assault · AVOs · Drug offences · Serious charges · Sentencing · Appeals

Criminal law

02 / Traffic law

About to lose your licence?

Drink driving, speeding, driving while suspended and licence appeals. Losing your licence can cost you your job, so we work to keep you on the road wherever the law allows. We present regularly at the Traffic Offenders Program.

Drink driving · Speeding · Driving while suspended · Licence appeals

Traffic law

03 / Wills & Estates Litigation

Left out of a Will, or defending an estate?

When a Will leaves someone out, or an estate is being challenged, the outcome turns on evidence and deadlines. We act in Family Provision claims and estate disputes, and have secured provision for widows and children in exactly that situation.

How it works

What happens when you call.

No gatekeepers and no jargon. Just a straight answer about where you stand and a clear plan for what happens next.

Call 02 4910 4054

You speak to a lawyer directly

Not a receptionist taking a message. Tell us what has happened and we will tell you, honestly, where you stand.

Urgent matters are treated as urgent

Court in three days? Police want an interview tomorrow? We act quickly, take charge of the situation and make sure nothing is missed.

A clear plan and upfront costs

You will understand the strategy, the likely outcomes and what it will cost before we go any further. No surprises.

We stay with you to the result

We return every call and keep you informed at each step, in plain English, all the way through to the outcome.

Common questions

What people ask us first.

Every matter is different, so the best answer is a conversation. These are the questions we hear most often.

How much will it cost?

It depends on the matter, which is why we explain the likely costs at the start, before any work begins. You will know where you stand financially from day one, with no surprises.

Should I talk to police before getting legal advice?

You have the right to get legal advice before taking part in a police interview. What you say can be used as evidence, so in almost every case it is wise to speak to a lawyer first. Call us before you go in.

My court date is soon. Is it too late?

Usually not. We regularly take on matters at short notice, including court appearances only days away. The sooner you call, the more time we have to prepare, so do not wait.

Which courts and areas do you cover?

We appear in the Local, District and Supreme Courts of NSW, and act for clients across Newcastle, the Hunter, the Central Coast, Sydney and the Mid North Coast.

Who will handle my matter?

An experienced lawyer, from start to finish. Duncan & Co is a boutique firm by design, so the lawyer you speak to on the first call is the lawyer who runs your matter.
