Police Questioning

If you are being questioned by the police in Cairns, remember first and foremost that you have a right to silence and can exercise that right accordingly. Speaking to the police without a solicitor present is not recommended. If you answer any questions the police ask you, or allow your property searched without a warrant, remember that you could incriminate yourself.

Solicitors understand the importance of statements made in these circumstances. Accordingly, it is in your best interests to contact a solicitor before speaking with police.

Our Cairns criminal lawyers can be contacted 24/7 and we strongly advise you contact Mansia Bovey & Company Lawyers before speaking to the Police.

Any Questions ?

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. 1 : The police want to question me. Do I have to answer their questions?

The short answer is no. In Queensland, you have the right to silence and you can exercise that right if police are wanting to question you in relation to an offence.

Just like in the movies, anything you say can be used against you as evidence in court. So, if you answer any questions the police ask you, remember that you could incriminate yourself further. Accordingly, it is in your best interests to contact a criminal lawyer before speaking with police. You can contact one of our solicitors 24/7.

Q. 2 : The police have conducted a search of my property. What happens now?

During the search of your property, the police may find certain things that they believe could be used as evidence against you and can seize the property. Any property that the police seize during the search should be listed on a Field Property Receipt which the police must give you a copy of.

The result of the search may lead to you or others being charged with offences. If your property has been searched by police, then you should contact our office immediately for advice.

Q. 3 : I've been arrested in the middle of the night, can you help?

Yes, we are available 24/7 on 0418 773 738 so we can provide immediate access to a legal expert who can help you with your case.

Q. 4 : What is the legal alcohol driving content in Queensland?
If you have a learner’s permit or restricted licence, you can’t drive with any alcohol in your system. This is also true if driving a truck, bus, or taxi. For an open licence, there is a 0.05 limit.
Q. 5 : How much will a criminal lawyer cost?

Legal fees can spiral when it comes to a criminal law case, so we have a transparent fixed fee for every stage of the process. Call us today for an initial consultation, where we can advise how much our criminal law services will cost and provide you with all of the relevant information so you can properly budget for your legal fees.

Q. 6 : What is your success rate in court?

Mansia Bovey and Company Lawyers have extensive experience in all criminal law matters, and have been successful in defending clients in a range of complex and diverse criminal cases.

We can never guarantee an outcome, but with our extensive experience and legal knowledge, we are confident we can represent you to the very highest standards.
