Criminal Lawyers Townsville
What Is Criminal Law?
Criminal law plays a vital role in protecting our community and upholding justice. It covers serious offences under both State and Federal law addressing conduct that threatens the safety, wellbeing, or rights of others.
This area of law defines what is criminal, sets out penalties, and works to deter unlawful behaviour, all while balancing the rights of individuals with the need for a safe, orderly society.
At CBC Lawyers, we understand the seriousness and complexity of criminal matters. Our experienced team is here to guide you through every step with clarity, discretion, and strong legal support.

FAQs
When should I hire a criminal lawyer?
If you’re under investigation or facing charges, the time to call a lawyer is now. The earlier you get legal advice, the better your chances of protecting your rights and building a strong defence.
A criminal lawyer can guide you through police interviews, ensure procedures are followed correctly, and help you understand the impact of the charges. Never attend a police interview without speaking to a lawyer first.
What are the different types of criminal cases a lawyer can handle?
Criminal law covers a wide range of offences, and each case demands a tailored legal strategy. At CBC Lawyers, we represent clients in matters from minor to serious charges, providing clear advice and strong advocacy throughout.
We handle cases including:
Traffic offences (e.g. drink driving, unlicensed driving)
Assault and violent offences
Drug offences (possession, trafficking, manufacturing)
Weapons offences
Theft, burglary, and robbery
Sexual offences
Domestic violence-related charges
White collar and fraud offences
Manslaughter and murder
No matter the charge, we’re here to protect your rights and fight for the best outcome.
How does the legal professional privilege work with criminal lawyers?
Legal professional privilege means that what you discuss with your lawyer stays confidential. It protects your private communications, so you can speak openly, knowing your lawyer can’t share anything without your consent (except in rare legal exceptions).
This trust is key to building a strong defence, and it remains in place even after your case ends or if you change lawyers.
Can a criminal lawyer help with getting bail or reducing charges?
Yes, an experienced criminal lawyer can make a big difference when it comes to securing bail or reducing charges. At CBC Lawyers, we advocate for fair bail conditions and can negotiate with prosecutors to seek reduced or alternative charges, especially in cases with mitigating factors or insufficient evidence.
We also assist with plea negotiations to help achieve the most favourable outcome possible.
