Although there have been some recent reforms towards the legalisation of drugs in NSW, drugs still largely remain illegal and all drug offences carry severe sentences.
We handle all types of drug offences:
At Lam Legal Group, we have helped clients get the best outcome possible across all types of drug offences, including where evidence has been illegally obtained or there was insufficient evidence to charge our clients.
We also understand that drug use is a complex issue that involves multiple factors. We will work with you to present your best case.
Whether you are a P plater or a truck driver, we understand that having a licence is important to you, your family and your livelihood.
That’s why, Lam Legal Group always puts in that extra effort in preparing for your traffic charges, licence appeals or suspension appeals.
William also has experience in Civil Litigation, Migration, Family Law, Wills & Estates and Conveyancing.
Dealing with a dispute is stressful. You’ll be treated with respect and discretion, and you’ll always understand where your matter stands, what your options are, and what happens next.
A bail application asks a court to release someone from custody while their case is decided, on conditions that manage risk rather than deciding guilt. William prepares and argues bail applications urgently, including at night and on weekends, in the Local Court, the Bail Division and the Supreme Court.
From your first phone call to your final court date, you deal with William directly. No call centres, no being handed around, one experienced solicitor who knows your case.
William Lam
Principal Solicitor
Lawyer for everyday people.
William Lam is the principal solicitor of Lam Legal Group, a Sydney criminal defence practice, and has nine years’ experience in criminal law. He was admitted as a lawyer of the Supreme Court of NSW in 2015 and is a member of Legal Aid NSW’s summary, indictable and children’s criminal law panels.
His work covers bail applications, drug offences, assault and domestic violence charges, AVOs and traffic matters. He appears regularly in the Local, District and Supreme Courts, most often at the Bankstown, Parramatta, Liverpool, Burwood and Downing Centre Local Courts.
Clients deal with William directly, from the first call to the final court date. He takes calls after hours and on weekends, because arrests don’t happen in business hours.
William started his career at the height of heavy police operations at NSW music festivals, and has since helped many clients charged at festivals and events. That experience has given him a close understanding of how drug laws and police powers play out there, from drug detection dogs and searches to the charges that follow.
William graduated from the University of New South Wales in 2014 with a Bachelor of Commerce (with Distinction) and a Bachelor of Laws. He attended North Sydney Boys High School.
We understand that most people will only approach a lawyer at the most significant times in their lives.
