Samuel Hwang

Background

Samuel holds an LLB and a Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice.

He practises in criminal defence in two states, which is unusual and useful. Queensland and New South Wales run different codes, different court structures and different sentencing legislation, and a lawyer who has worked in both tends to be less willing to accept that something is simply how it is done.

What he acts in

Samuel has appeared as an advocate in the Local, District and Supreme Courts of New South Wales and the Magistrates, District and Supreme Courts of Queensland. His matters have included:

• Murder and manslaughter.
• Drug trafficking, and drug possession and supply.
• Weapons and firearm charges.
• Serious assaults and assault charges.
• Sexual assaults.
• Mental health applications.
• Larceny and property offences.
• Drink driving and other traffic charges.
• Domestic violence matters.

His working method is to pull a police case apart before deciding anything. Charges get downgraded or withdrawn when the evidence supporting them is tested early, in writing, with the prosecutor, rather than argued about on the steps of a courtroom.

Samuel has worked with the Korean Consulate in Australia. If English is not your first language, say so when you call and we will match you accordingly.

He appears in New South Wales as well as Queensland, including the Local Courts and the Downing Centre in Sydney, which matters if you have been charged on one side of the border and live on the other.
