What We Do

At Tehan Legal, we practise exclusively in criminal law.

We represent individuals facing criminal allegations and provide strategic legal advice at every stage of the criminal justice process — from the earliest stages of police investigation through to defended hearings, trials and appeals.

Being charged with a criminal offence can be overwhelming. Our role is to guide you through the process with clear advice, strong advocacy and careful preparation.

We also appear for individuals in matters before the Corruption and Crime Commission and the Coroner’s Court.

Criminal Defence

We defend clients charged with a wide range of criminal offences, including:

  • Assault and violent offences
  • Drug offences, including supply and trafficking
  • Sexual offences
  • Fraud and dishonesty offences
  • Murder and manslaughter
  • Financial crime
  • Property offences
  • Commercial crime offences.

We appear in courts across the jurisdiction and work strategically to achieve the best possible outcome in each case.

Advice During Police Investigations

Early legal advice is critical. Decisions made at the investigation stage can significantly affect the outcome of a matter.

We advise clients in relation to:

  • Police interviews
  • Search warrants
  • Arrest and charging procedures
  • Requests for statements or records

Our priority is ensuring your rights are protected before important decisions are made.

Court Representation

If your matter proceeds to court, we provide strong and strategic representation at every stage, including:

  • Bail applications
  • Negotiations with prosecutors
  • Trial Hearings (including Jury trials)
  • Sentencing hearings
  • Appeals

We work closely with experienced barristers and experts where necessary to ensure every case is thoroughly prepared.
