Frequently asked
A complaint was filed against me in UAQ. What first?
Get advice before giving any statement; the police and prosecution stage often decides the outcome. We attend, respond, and address any travel ban quickly.
Can a bounced cheque lead to criminal action?
Largely decriminalised for individuals in most cases, but bad-faith conduct can still carry criminal exposure alongside civil recovery. We assess your facts.
