 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Talal and Kamal highly enough. From the beginning of my husband’s case right through to the final outcome, they showed an incredible level of professionalism, knowledge, patience and genuine care for our family. What stood out most was that we never felt like we were simply another case to them. They understood how much was at stake for our family and how important it was for us to have my husband and the father of our three boys home. Their guidance, reassurance and dedication gave us confidence during one of the most stressful seasons of our lives. Talal and Kamal, thank you both for the countless hours, preparation, advice and hard work you put into my husband’s case. Thank you for advocating for him, treating us with respect and helping our family finally close this chapter of our lives. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. We would recommend Talal and Kamal without hesitation to anyone looking for lawyers who are knowledgeable, committed, professional and genuinely invested in achieving the best possible outcome for their clients.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Mohammad highly enough. He was absolutely outstanding from start to finish — professional, knowledgeable, confident and genuinely supportive throughout the entire process. Going into court was extremely stressful, but Mohammad made sure I understood everything and gave me confidence that I was in good hands. His preparation and representation were exceptional, and I walked away with an excellent outcome. What stood out most was the way he handled my matter with professionalism and care. He knew exactly how to approach the situation and represented me extremely well in court. I’m incredibly grateful to Mohammad for his hard work and the outcome he achieved for me. If you’re looking for a lawyer who genuinely cares about his clients and will work hard to achieve the best possible result, I highly recommend Mohammad. Thank you again, Mohammad. I truly appreciate everything you did for me.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I genuinely cannot speak highly enough of Talal, Saria and the entire team at Krayem & Co Lawyers. From the very beginning, they have been incredibly efficient, professional, responsive and genuinely invested in their clients. Talal is an absolute master at what he does. His knowledge, confidence and calm approach immediately put you at ease, and you just know you are in safe hands. A special mention also has to go to Saria, their paralegal, who has been absolutely incredible throughout the entire process. She is exceptionally responsive, organised, caring and always willing to help, no matter the time or question. What truly sets Talal apart is his dedication. It is rare to find a such a competent lawyer who responds after hours because he genuinely cares about his clients, their cases and their peace of mind. We are incredibly grateful to have found Talal, Saria and the team and could not recommend Krayem & Co Lawyers more highly.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Leyah highly enough. I was facing three very serious charges, including commercial supply, participating in directing activities of a criminal group, and proceeds of crime. After a long and difficult year, Leyah worked closely with the prosecutor and fought hard to achieve the best possible outcome for me. I ultimately received a 3-year Intensive Correction Order. Honestly, I don’t believe I would have achieved this result with anyone else. Leyah was honest, professional and always gave me the best advice and guidance. Her communication was excellent, and she genuinely cared about my case and my future. I’m extremely grateful for everything she did for me and would recommend her to anyone looking for a lawyer who truly goes above and beyond.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Today my little brother who’s aged 17 had the pleasure of being represented by Layelle in Children’s Court. I am very impressed and grateful for her great work. She was well spoken and very respected by the judge. Thanks to Layelle my little brother received the best outcome which is a case dismissal! I recommend Krayem and Co & Layelle to anyone looking for a lawyer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What to do if I am accused of a crime?

If you are accused of a crime, it is important to stay calm and protect your legal rights from the outset. Do not speak to police or anyone else about the allegation, and do not make any statements or admissions, as anything you say may be used against you. You have the right to remain silent and should exercise that right until you have received legal advice. Contact an experienced lawyer as soon as possible, follow their advice carefully, and keep any documents or information that may be relevant to your case, as getting early legal guidance can significantly affect the outcome.

Should I plead guilty or not guilty?

Whether you should plead guilty or not guilty depends on the specific circumstances of your case and should only be decided after obtaining legal advice. You should not enter a plea until you have fully understood the charges, the evidence against you, and your available legal options. An experienced lawyer can review the facts of your case, advise you on the strength of the prosecution’s evidence, explain the potential consequences of each plea, and help you make an informed decision that is in your best interests.

Is it possible to avoid a conviction for a first offence?

Yes, in some cases it may be possible to avoid a conviction for a first offence, depending on the nature of the charge, the circumstances of the offence, and your personal background. Courts may consider alternatives such as a dismissal, conditional release order, or other non-conviction outcomes, particularly where the offence is less serious and you have no prior criminal history. An experienced lawyer can assess your situation, present your case effectively to the court, and advise you on the best strategy to maximise your chances of avoiding a conviction.

Do you offer free consultation for criminal law matters?

Yes — we offer a free initial consultation for criminal law matters so you can discuss your situation, understand your options, and get clear legal guidance before deciding how to proceed, with no obligation to retain us.

Do you offer fixed fees?

Yes — we offer fixed-fee options for many criminal law services so you can have clarity and confidence about your legal costs upfront, avoiding unexpected fees and making it easier to budget for your defence.

How do I get a divorce?

In Australia, you can apply for a divorce once you have been separated from your spouse for at least 12 months and there is no reasonable likelihood of reconciliation. Divorce applications are made through the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia and can be filed jointly or by one party alone. You do not need to prove fault, but you must satisfy the court that proper arrangements have been made for any children under 18. While you can apply on your own, obtaining legal advice can help ensure the process is completed correctly and that your rights regarding property, finances, and parenting matters are properly protected.

How does family law court divide marital assets?

The family law court divides marital assets using a structured process rather than an automatic 50/50 split. The court first identifies and values all assets and liabilities of both parties, including property, superannuation, savings, and debts. It then considers each party’s financial and non-financial contributions, such as income, caregiving, and homemaking roles, as well as future needs including age, health, earning capacity, and care of children. Finally, the court assesses whether the proposed division is just and equitable in all the circumstances.

How does the family law court make decision about the custody of children?

When making decisions about the custody of children, the family law court’s primary consideration is the best interests of the child. The court assesses factors such as the child’s safety, their relationship with each parent, each parent’s ability to provide for the child’s physical, emotional, and developmental needs, and the benefit of the child having a meaningful relationship with both parents where it is safe to do so. The court may also consider the child’s views, depending on their age and maturity, as well as any history of family violence or neglect, before making parenting orders that best support the child’s wellbeing.
