Assault and Violent Crimes
Facing an assault charge can have life-altering consequences. Julian van der Walle represents clients accused of domestic assault, sexual assault, and other violent crimes. He approaches these sensitive cases with discretion and a strategic mindset, working to expose inconsistencies in the complainant’s testimony and establish defences such as self-defence or consent.
Appeals and Serious Offences
In addition to trial work, the firm handles criminal appeals for clients who have been wrongly convicted or harshly sentenced. Mr. van der Walle’s experience in appellate courts allows him to identify legal errors made by trial judges and argue effectively for a new trial or acquittal.
