Get a lawyer

ALS has Criminal lawyers and Childrens' Care and Protection lawyers who provide legal advice and representation for the Aboriginal community of NSW and ACT.

 

Need a criminal lawyer? Phone 1800 765 767

We can help. ALS will be notified by Police or the Courts if you are in custody and need a lawyer. Or, you can visit an ALS office anywhere in NSW and ACT to get a lawyer to help you.

We can help with bail applications, court appearances, most driving offences, resisting arrest, police harrassment, assault, drug offences, assault & battery, robbery and theft, murder, indecent assault, sexual offences, weapons, arson and more.

 

 

Is child protection talking to you?
Phone 1800 733 233  

We can help. The ALS Children's Care and Protection Law Practice represents parents and children in child protection matters. 

We can help if your children have been removed, if you want to take a child protection matter back to court, if you want to appeal a decision, and if you want to make a complaint about DoCS (now known as FaCS].  

 


Getting out of gaol soon? Phone 1800 826 966 

Sometimes people need a lawyer when they're in prison, or when they are leaving prison. We can help.

 

 

 

 

The best thing about ALS lawyers

They fight to keep you out. They fight to win.

They help people get back on track. They fight to get children the right placements.

ALS lawyers are professional, they're experienced, and they're inspiring. Why? Because they keep on fighting to get results. They want justice for Aboriginal people. And they want ALS clients to win.

We're proud so many Judges, Magistrates and 'influencers' have worked at ALS. We know our lawyers make a big difference to peoples' lives.
