Why choose Pascoe Law?

With deep local knowledge of the Brisbane and Cleveland courts, we handle your matter with focus and care from the start. Whether it's a complex criminal charge or a sensitive child protection issue, we approach every case with the preparation and urgency it deserves.

Local & experienced

The legal system can be intimidating to navigate, and the way it functions can vary based on location. We’ve been representing clients in Brisbane, Cleveland, and Wynnum for years: we know the courts, the judges, and the best way to handle your case.

We act fast

We get you the right advice when it matters most. Especially for matters like bail applications, it can mean the difference between waiting months in custody or going home to prepare your case. If you need bail, urgent legal help, or quick answers, we can assess your situation at pace and help you move forward with the right strategy.

Clear, practical advice

We provide concise, informed guidance so you can make confident decisions at every stage.

Frequently asked questions

What is a duty lawyer in criminal law?

Everyone deserves legal representation when they need it! Duty lawyers are here to help people attending court on that day who don't have existing legal representation. We regularly appear as duty lawyers at both Cleveland and Wynnum Magistrates Courts, ready to help with criminal law matters.

Do I need a lawyer if I'm innocent or if I don't have a criminal history?

When speaking with a police officer, the things you say can be gathered as evidence and used against you in a criminal case. We advise that you remain silent and seek legal advice before speaking to the police.

What are my rights if I've been arrested? Do I have to answer police questions?

When you're under arrest, what you say matters — and what you don’t say can matter even more. You have the right to remain silent, and you don’t have to answer questions without speaking to a lawyer first. Take a look at our information on the arrest process here and get in touch with us as soon as you can on 07 3556 3995.

Do you work with clients through the Legal Aid system?

Yes, we act for both private clients and those eligible for funding through Legal Aid Queensland. Whether private or otherwise, we pride ourselves on giving the same level of attention, advice and preparation to every matter.
