Humanity Above All
The criminal justice system deals with allegations. Gil deals with people. The aim is to understand the circumstances, the context, the challenges and the opportunities for rehabilitation and change.
Criminal Law
Criminal law advice when your future is at stake.
Few experiences are as confronting as being accused of a criminal offence. Gil provides careful, strategic and human-centred representation for clients facing criminal law matters.
Overview
Criminal Law
One allegation can affect reputation, family, employment, business, freedom and future. For many people, involvement with the criminal justice system is completely unexpected.
A charge does not define a person. An allegation is not a conviction. Every client deserves dignity, fairness, to be heard and to receive strong legal representation.
Approach
Legal advice with a person behind the file.
Presumption Of Innocence
Every person is presumed innocent unless proven guilty according to law. Allegations are not convictions, accusations are not verdicts and suspicion is not proof.
Strategic Defence
Every criminal case is unique. Each matter requires careful preparation, evidence review, consideration of procedure and clear advice about the decisions that may affect the outcome.
