Jon Lister is a distinguished criminal law firm situated in Adelaide with an impressive legacy spanning 40 years. The firm is renowned for offering expert advice and representation in criminal, road traffic, and criminal assets law. Our solicitors appear in all criminal courts across South Australia, collaborating closely with leading barristers, including Queens Counsel and Senior Counsel. We are dedicated to providing straightforward, confidential, accurate, and cost-effective legal advice to those arrested, charged, or suspected of criminal offences. Our services cater to matters that may impact personal liberties, employment, travel, or business plans. Our expertise encompasses a broad range of criminal law matters, including affray, riot, assault, and assault police. We have a profound understanding of handling subpoenas from the Australian Crime Commission and defending against Commonwealth criminal law charges. Our team is adept in managing cases of criminal trespass, disorderly behaviour, resisting police, and various drug-related charges. We regularly defend clients facing firearms and fraud charges, along with serious accusations such as murder, manslaughter, robbery, sex charges, and theft-related offences like larceny and trafficking. Additionally, we address weapons charges with a meticulous approach. In traffic law, we provide comprehensive assistance, whether defending a charge, disputing an expiation notice, or applying for a demerit point reduction. Understanding the necessity of a driver's licence for many individuals, we guide clients through dangerous driving cases, drink and drug driving charges, and issues related to driving while disqualified. We also handle appeals related to drivers’ licences and demerit points, police pursuits, and offences involving red light and speeding. Beyond criminal and traffic law, our firm regularly advises on proceedings related to the Criminal Assets Confiscation Act, including forfeiture orders. We provide guidance on intervention orders, firearms licence appeals, and victims of crime claims. Our expertise also extends to addressing professional misconduct and disciplinary proceedings, ensuring thorough representation and advice tailored to each client's unique situation.
