At Best Criminal Lawyers Sydney, we represent clients in all types of court and drug matters across New South Wales. Our team understands how high the stakes are — and we fight to protect your freedom, reputation, and future.
What Are Court and Drug Matters?
Court and drug cases typically involve criminal charges such as drug possession, supply, cultivation, firearm offences, or bail-related issues. These cases are often urgent, complex, and emotionally overwhelming. Our lawyers are experienced in handling serious criminal matters in Local, District and Supreme Courts — and know what it takes to achieve successful results.

Rapid assistance with bail applications and bail refusal matters
Defence against drug charges — from minor possession to serious supply
Legal strategies for firearm charges and prohibited weapon offences
Step-by-step support throughout the entire court process
Applying for Bail in NSW
Getting bail is often the first challenge after being charged. Courts consider many factors when deciding whether to release someone or keep them in custody. We prepare detailed bail applications, tailored to your circumstances and supported by relevant evidence — including surety documents, employment records, and personal references.
We also assist if bail has been refused or revoked. Our lawyers understand the legal thresholds involved and present strong arguments to maximise your chances of success.
What Courts Look at When Granting Bail:
The seriousness of the alleged offence
Your prior criminal record and likelihood of appearing at court
The strength of the prosecution case
Family, employment and community ties
Our firm handles urgent bail matters across Sydney and surrounding regions. The earlier we get involved, the better your chances of release.
Drug Offences: How We Defend You
Drug offences in NSW can carry harsh penalties, including prison. We represent clients charged with possession, supply, trafficking, and cultivation. Our lawyers analyse the prosecution’s case in detail, challenge weak or unlawfully obtained evidence, and push for the best possible outcome.
We Handle All Types of Drug Charges, Including:
Possession of prohibited substances (e.g. cannabis, MDMA, cocaine, ice)
Supply or trafficking of drugs (small to commercial quantity)
Drug cultivation or manufacturing (including hydroponic setups)
Importation or cross-border drug transport
Our goal is to avoid conviction where possible, or minimise penalties if guilt is proven. That includes pursuing options such as:
Withdrawal of charges due to insufficient evidence
Conditional release orders (with or without conviction)
Section 10 non-convictions
Drug Court referrals for rehabilitation programs
Every case is different. We build a personalised defence strategy and walk with you every step of the way.
Charged or Investigated for Tax Fraud?
ax fraud offences in NSW are treated seriously by the courts and the ATO. Whether you’re being audited, accused of GST evasion, or facing criminal charges for undeclared income — early legal advice is critical.
Firearm Offences in NSW
In New South Wales, possessing or using a firearm without a valid licence can lead to serious criminal charges. These offences are governed under the Firearms Act 1996 (NSW) and attract heavy penalties, even for first-time offenders. At Best Criminal Lawyers Sydney, we help clients defend against firearm-related accusations ranging from possession to discharge in public.
Common Firearm Charges Include:
Possession of an unregistered firearm
Possessing a firearm without a licence or permit
Prohibited firearm offences (e.g. handguns, sawn-off shotguns)
Discharging a firearm in a public place
Firearm offences linked to drug charges or other crimes
We examine whether the search and seizure were lawful, whether the firearm was in your actual possession, and whether police followed proper protocols. Our team also assists clients in navigating firearm licence suspensions or appeals.
Sentencing and Penalties
If found guilty of a drug or firearm offence, the court will consider a range of sentencing options depending on the severity of the charge and your personal circumstances. Our lawyers work to reduce sentencing outcomes through strategic submissions and powerful supporting material.
Possible Penalties May Include:
Fines or good behaviour bonds
Conditional release orders
Community Correction Orders (CCOs)
Intensive Corrections Orders (ICOs)
Full-time imprisonment
We always aim to keep clients out of prison. Our approach includes gathering references, medical or psychological reports, and rehabilitation evidence to show the court that you’re deserving of leniency.
The Court Process Explained
Most court and drug cases begin in the Local Court. Depending on the severity, they may be finalised there or referred to a higher court. Understanding the process helps reduce anxiety and allows you to participate in your own defence effectively. We guide you at every step — from the first mention to sentencing or trial.
Typical Stages Include:
First mention (initial court date)
Case management hearings
Committal hearings (if proceeding to District or Supreme Court)
Trial or sentencing
Our team keeps you informed, prepares submissions, negotiates with police prosecutors, and ensures you’re never left wondering what comes next.
Legal Defences We May Use
Not all charges result in a conviction. We explore every avenue to secure a not guilty verdict or get the matter withdrawn. Our defence strategies vary depending on your charge but may include:
Challenging unlawful searches or police misconduct
Arguing lack of knowledge or intent (e.g. drugs in shared premises)
Self-defence (in firearm discharge cases)
Proving someone else was responsible (e.g. co-accused or third party)
Lack of admissible evidence
If there’s a way to win, we’ll find it. If not, we fight to reduce the damage.
What to Do If You’ve Been Charged
The most important step is to get legal advice early. Don’t speak to police without a lawyer. Anything you say can be used against you in court. Contact our office immediately so we can begin protecting your rights.
Important Tips:
Stay calm and don’t resist arrest
Ask to contact a criminal lawyer
Don’t make statements without legal advice
Keep documents or names of witnesses if possible
The sooner we’re involved, the more effective your defence can be.

What our Clients Say
FAQs
Your Questions Answered
What should I do if I’m charged with a drug offence?
Do not speak to police or make any admissions without legal advice. Contact our office immediately so we can assess the case, protect your rights and begin building your defence.
Can I still get bail if I’ve been charged with drug supply?
Yes — but drug supply is considered a serious offence, and the court may impose strict bail conditions. Our lawyers are experienced in preparing persuasive bail applications even for serious charges.
What is the maximum penalty for firearm possession in NSW?
Penalties vary depending on the type of firearm, circumstances and whether it’s a repeat offence. Some charges carry up to 14 years in prison. Early legal advice is critical.
How long will my case take?
It depends on the court, type of charge, and complexity of the matter. Some cases resolve in a few weeks, others take several months. We’ll keep you informed at every step.
Can I avoid a criminal record?
In some cases, yes. We explore all options — including Section 10, Conditional Release Orders and Drug Court referrals — to help you avoid a conviction wherever possible.
