We Are Here To Serve You
Whatever you do, do not talk to the police before you talk to our team of Townsville criminal lawyers.
Navigating the criminal justice system is a daunting and frightening experience for many people and even minor issues can have serious consequences if you don’t get the right help.
Our dedicated and collaborative team of Townsville criminal lawyers will listen to your side of the story and make sure your interests are represented throughout every step of the process.
We’ll see that your side of things gets a full and fair hearing and that any personal circumstances, which explain what happened, are brought to the attention of the right people.
We also, wherever possible, help take the stress out of being involved in a criminal matter by telling you how much our fees will cost.
We are the only firm in Queensland which posts its criminal law prices up-front and on its website.
The prices below will apply to many legal matters, however, in some cases the nature of the offence or the complexity of the charges will increase the fees.
We’ll Take Care of You
Facing police officers on your own is not something we recommend. When your emotions are in turmoil, it’s easy to forget that you have a legal right to remain silent and get tricked into answering questions which may be used against you in court. Having a criminal lawyer by your side gives you time to clear your head and get your story straight.
Our experienced criminal lawyers in Townsville have your best interests at heart and will provide you with no-nonsense advice and assistance in your criminal matter. Whether you’re trying to avoid a criminal conviction record or facing a term of imprisonment, our lawyers take a personal approach to your situation and focus on achieving the best outcome for you.
We understand that this is an anxious and worrying time which is why we strive to take away some of the stress by providing up-front criminal law prices wherever possible, so you’re not faced with a nasty shock when you come to pay.

Strategic Lawyers Is The Team You Need
High Performance from start to finish – Delivered.
Q & A
Fees associated with the defence of criminal charges in Australia can vary widely. The reason for this variation stems from what the lawyer has been instructed to do. For example, a criminal trial lasting several days (where a person has pleaded not guilty to their charges) will cost much more than a simple plea of guilty and sentence for a minor traffic matter.
Lawyers are ethically prohibited from misleading courts, their clients, and other lawyers.

Strategic Lawyers was recommended to me by a close friend and I was extremely happy with my experience. I first met with Justin to discuss my family law matter then I began to also work with Rob.

I would highly recommend using Strategic Lawyers if you need representation in Townsville. I was represented by Anthony Sturgeon, and from the first consult till the closing case I felt comfortable and guided through the whole journey. My case was a criminal matter and having had no prior encounters of this nature I was very overwhelmed by the situation. Anthony is very professional and attentive to all your needs, especially when dealing with the law for the first time. Thanks to everyone at the firm.

If you want a team of lawyers totally committed to your case, look no further. Their track record is great. They always get good outcomes for me and I always feel like I have great legal representation with them. They definitely communicate with me better than other law firms out there, and they take the time to listen to what I have to say and for me to get my story out in full. They’re not just interested in a pay check – they definitely care about me, my case, and my success. I definitely highly recommend these guys as they always achieve great results for me no matter what the case.
