The Drug Court NSW Court Lawyers

Mitchell & Co. Lawyers appear at The Drug Court of NSW whenever required by our clients.

The Drug Court of NSW is a specialist jurisdiction that deals with criminal offending by a person who is drug-dependent, in an effort to rehabilitate that person from their addictions and curtail further offending where they would otherwise be sentenced to full-time imprisonment. It has the jurisdiction of both the Local Court of NSW and the District Court of NSW and sits at four locations, being Sydney, Parramatta, Toronto and Dubbo.

The Drug Court has its own team of specialist lawyers who handle all matters once a referral has been made. In order for persons to be referred to the Drug Court, a number of eligibility criteria must be met and the accused person is placed onto a ballot. From there, if successful, their matter is transferred to the jurisdiction of the Drug Court for management on an intensive community-based rehabilitation program over an extended period (after an initial period of detox in a custodial setting).

Mitchell & Co Lawyers have experience with successfully referring matters to the Drug Court.

If you are appearing before The Drug Court, you will require our team of expert Criminal Lawyers to assist you.
