If facing serious criminal charges, such as drug supply or trafficking, the State of Queensland may seek to freeze and confiscate your assets.  Those assets may include your bank accounts, real estate, vehicles, shares or any other asset of value.

We regularly act for both plaintiffs and defendants with respect to matters involving defamation disputes.  The defamation law in Queensland refers to both defamatory statements that are published in writing and defamatory statements that are spoken.
