Criminal Lawyer Perth | Andrew Williams

Strategic Criminal Defence Backed by Experience

With more than two decades of experience practising exclusively in criminal and traffic law, I provide strategic, results-driven defence for clients facing charges across Western Australia. Since establishing my practice in 2008, I have built a strong reputation for thorough preparation, effective advocacy, and achieving the best possible outcomes in difficult circumstances.

A key part of my approach is identifying opportunities to resolve matters early, where appropriate. This may involve making detailed written representations to the prosecution to have charges reduced or discontinued, or to significantly limit the penalties you may face. These early interventions can make a substantial difference to the outcome of your case.

I act in matters ranging from summary offences through to serious indictable charges heard in the District and Supreme Courts, with a strong and ongoing professional relationship with Perth’s most prominent barristers.

Importantly, when you engage my services, you deal directly with me. Your matter is not passed to a junior lawyer; I maintain full conduct of your case from start to finish, ensuring nothing is overlooked and your defence is prepared to the highest standard.

What Happens After You’re Charged

Being charged with a criminal offence can be confronting, particularly if you have never been through the court system before. From the outset, my role as a Perth criminal lawyer is to provide clear, practical advice so you understand exactly where you stand and what steps come next.

From the first meeting at my office, I will explain the charges against you and your queries and concerns will be answered, including:

The law as it applies to your situation;
The court process you will be required to follow;
The options available to you, whether that involves negotiating with the prosecution, preparing for a plea, or defending the matter at trial;
The likely outcomes based on your individual circumstances.

You will leave the consultation well-informed and confident that you have chosen an experienced criminal defence lawyer to defend your case.

As your matter progresses, you will be kept fully informed at every stage. I prepare each case thoroughly, ensuring your position is clearly presented and your interests are properly protected in court. Whether your matter is relatively straightforward or more complex, you will receive the same level of attention, preparation, and commitment.

My focus is always on achieving the best possible result while guiding you through the process with clarity, confidence, and strong representation.

Local Court Representation in Perth

If your matter is before the courts in Perth, it is important to have a criminal defence lawyer who regularly appears in the jurisdictions that will determine your case. I frequently appear at Perth Magistrates Court, as well as the District Court of Western Australia and the Supreme Court of Western Australia, representing clients across the full spectrum of criminal and traffic matters. I also represent clients at Fremantle Magistrates Court and throughout the wider metropolitan area.

If you are required to attend a police-recorded interview at Perth Police Station or any nearby station, I can attend with you to ensure your rights are protected from the outset. From the earliest stage of a matter through to finalisation, you will have experienced, steady representation and clear advice at every step.
