Experienced law firm servicing
the Hawkesbury district.
Specialist criminal lawyers, Hawkesbury area.
The Catron Simmons law firm has a team of qualified criminal lawyers experienced in handling criminal matters for residents of the Hawkesbury district, the Hills, and Greater Sydney. We ensure you understand the process to be able to make well-informed decisions about your options. Our criminal lawyers offer consistent, comprehensive and professional advice and full preparation for each matter, in order to have the best possible chance of achieving a great result for each client, both in and out of the courtroom. We’ve appeared for clients at dozens of courts around New South Wales, including Richmond Local Court and Windsor Local Court.
If you are arrested by Police and taken back to the Police Station, in most cases you will be required to enter into bail conditions. We can assist you with being granted bail and the bail conditions. Yet in some cases, Police may refuse bail to a person and hold them for a period of time until the individual can appear before the court. It is critical that you get sound legal advice before you make a bail application as you may only get one chance. We also assist with appeals, based on the level of severity where the actual severity is challenged, and on a conviction appeal (also known as an ‘All Grounds Appeal’) where you are challenging the finding of guilt. We are very experienced in helping clients with all facets of criminal proceedings, and strive for positive outcomes.
Specialist probate solicitors, Hawkesbury area.
It is extremely stressful when a loved one dies, and administering the estate can also be very complicated and stressful for both the beneficiaries and executors. The Catron Simmons team has the necessary experience and compassion to guide those people in the Hawkesbury district and surrounding areas through the whole probate process. Our aim is always to ensure that the best possible outcomes are achieved for your family.
Typically when a person dies, their assets are ‘frozen’ pending probate or Letters of Administration. It is important for the executor to know that they may be able to approach the deceased’s bank to cover these accounts including funeral expenses – and we can provide advice and guidance to assist the Executor of a will. Their duties involve applying for probate, collecting and distributing assets in accordance with the will/probate, along with many other tasks.
