Criminal Defence

Members of Liberty Chambers provide robust criminal defences under frameworks like the Criminal Procedure Ordinance, Theft Ordinance, and Dangerous Drugs Ordinance, from investigation to appeals.

Early intervention clarifies rights, manages law enforcement interactions, and prevents missteps. Our members may be able to guide police interviews, safeguard rights to silence and representation, and evaluate evidence like confessions, notebook entries, statements and forensics to identify prosecution weaknesses. In court, they challenge inadmissible evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and negotiate plea-related matters. Post-conviction, they advise on appeals to overturn flawed rulings or reduce sentences.

The wide range of crime covers theft, fraud, drug offences, violent crimes, corruption, money laundering, cybercrimes, and regulatory breaches, all in need of tailored strategies.

Engaging members of Liberty Chambers ensures effective advocacy, protecting rights and achieving optimal outcomes. Clients benefit from proactive strategies minimising penalties, along with compassionate support amid pressured environments, and comprehensive representation preserving interests at every stage.
