Theft & Property Offences

For shopliftingbreak and enter and robbery, we test identificationintentjoint enterprise and any admissions.
 
We get CCTV and third-party material early, challenge unlawful searches under the Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002 (NSW) where it matters, and give clear advice on diversion or sentence programs that reduce risk.
How we run it

– Evidence first. We move quickly to secure footage, receipts and phone data.

– In-Court work. We prepare for cross-examination of witnesses and lodge short, clear submissions so the Court can rule on the real issues.

– If pleading. We present practical steps you have taken—restitution, counselling, work supports—so the Court has reasons to be as lenient as the law allows.
 
Why Spice Law

No-nonsense guidance—what helps, what doesn’t, and what to do before Court. Our preparation targets what judicial officers actually weigh at sentence.
