    Our Criminal Defence Lawyers at WN Legal

    Khew is the legal practitioner director and founder of WN Legal who has over a decade of experience in criminal law and restraining orders matters.

    We understand that navigating the legal system can be difficult and stressful. At WN Legal, our team of highly-trained criminal defence lawyers know that representation in criminal matters involves risk, emotion, and uncovering personal circumstances that may be confronting.

    Our job as legal practitioners is to ensure the uttermost level of trust and privacy with our client base. If you’re looking for discreet, and professional representation – you’ve come to the right place. At WN Legal, this means building trust from the start and maintaining a strong working relationship throughout the process.

    We also have access to relevant medical and psychological institutions that can assist in providing transparent and accurate assessments about your personal and mental health circumstances. These criminal defence lawyer services can be indispensable when your case requires them.

    Testimonials From Previous Clients

    Kryan & Khew are extremely compassionate and professional. They are very thorough and don’t miss anything, I was super impressed with their genuine personalities while they remained professional and businesslike throughout my dealing with them. I would not hesitate to recommend my family, friends, and business clients to them.

    Kate Stanley

    I was recently charged with aggravated common assault. WN Legal represented me from day one till the case was finalized. They are affordable, professional, knowledgeable, and sensitive. They kept me updated on the progress of the case. Despite the seriousness of the charge the outcome was the best I could expect – a fine and spent conviction. I would recommend WN Legal for all your legal problems.

    Godwin Dube

    “Khew and Aimee were both so amazing and helpful, Khew ran through everything to make sure we understood everything that had to happen and how things would work. I had Aimee with me on the big day and she was super kind and made you feel so comfortable like a best friend was with you, no nerves at all! She even walked me to the car to make sure I was safe, and we came away with a positive outcome 😀 win-win defiantly recommend this company 5 stars.”

    Sarah Moralee

    “WN Legal are far superior to any legal firm we have dealt with before and they have set the bar so high we doubt we will ever find a legal firm as dedicated and professional.

    We dealt mainly with Kyran who was readily accessible and exceeded our expectations. We also found the rest of the team at WN legal to be just as helpful, friendly, and genuine.

    We highly recommend WN Legal to anyone.
    If we could leave a rating higher than 5 stars we would, Mark and Marina”

    Mark Schnierer

    “Absolutely the best service. I was treated in a professional manner and when i was about to give up Khew turned around and said i am not ready to give up fighting for you yet. Some of the best words said to me in awhile. Thank you Khew for all your help and support i highly recommend this law firm.”

    What Is Mandatory Sentencing in WA Law?

    Mandatory sentencing in Western Australia is where Parliament requires a court to impose at least a minimum sentence for a particular offence or for an offence committed in particular circumstances. In those cases, the judge does not have full freedom to sentence below that minimum, even if there are personal circumstances that would usually matter…

    Beyond Reasonable Doubt in Australian Criminal Law

    “Beyond reasonable doubt” is the high standard of proof used in criminal cases. It is the legal test the prosecution must meet before a court can convict someone. It matters because criminal convictions can lead to serious penalties, including loss of liberty, so the law sets the bar high before the state can prove a…

    What Is a Committal Hearing According to WA Law?

    Committal hearings are often misunderstood in Western Australia and are sometimes described as a form of preliminary trial. Under WA law, that description is inaccurate. This article explains what a committal hearing actually is under the Criminal Procedure Act 2004 (WA), how it fits into the criminal court process, and what the Magistrates Court does…

    FAQs

    How much does it cost to speak with a criminal lawyer at WN Legal?

    We offer new clients a free initial consultation of up to 30 minutes, either by phone or in person. If you decide to proceed with us, we will explain your fee structure during that first consultation and confirm it in writing, with further consultations charged at $385 per hour. We aim to provide affordable rates with no hidden fees.

    What is the difference between a criminal solicitor and a barrister in Perth or WA?

    In Western Australia, a criminal solicitor is usually the lawyer you deal with first for advice, case preparation, negotiations, and ongoing representation throughout your matter.

    A barrister is typically brought in for specialist advocacy, especially in more complex or serious cases, and may appear in court to argue the case on your behalf.

    At WN Legal, we manage criminal matters from the outset and provide clear, personalised representation, and where barrister involvement is needed, we can guide you through that process as part of your defence.

    How should I prepare for my first meeting with a criminal lawyer?

    Before your first meeting with us, gather any documents connected to your matter, including police paperwork, court documents, bail papers, and anything else that may help us understand your situation clearly.

    It also helps to write down a short timeline of what happened and any questions you want to ask, so we can give you practical advice and discuss the best way to move forward during your free initial 30-minute consultation

    What should I do if I am arrested by WA Police in Perth?

    If you are arrested, stay calm, do not make admissions, and get legal advice as early as possible. We can help you understand your rights, assess your situation, and advise you on the best way to move forward, especially where police want to question you or charges may be laid.

    Should I choose a private criminal lawyer or Legal Aid in Western Australia?

    That depends on your circumstances, including whether you are eligible for Legal Aid and the level of support you need.

    If you want direct, personalised advice and ongoing representation from a boutique criminal law firm, we can help you understand your options from the outset and explain the best way to move forward during your free initial 30-minute consultation.

    What should I ask a criminal lawyer during a first consultation?

    During your first consultation, it helps to ask about your options, the likely next steps in your matter, the services we can provide, and the best way to move forward.

    We offer a free initial 30-minute consultation so you can get clear advice about your situation and gather the information you need to deal with the matter as effectively as possible.

    Is it better to choose a criminal defence law firm or a solo criminal lawyer in Perth?

    That depends on the level of support and representation you need. As a boutique criminal law firm, we offer personalised advice, direct client service, and a hands-on approach from a small team, without the bureaucracy often associated with larger firms.

    We work closely with our clients from the initial consultation through to the resolution of their matter, so you have clear guidance and support at every stage.
