Where are criminal matters heard for Campbelltown?

What NSW-specific rules apply?
Most criminal offences in New South Wales are set out in the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW), and procedure, including which offences stay in the Local Court, is governed by the Criminal Procedure Act 1986 (NSW). Bail is decided under the Bail Act 2013 (NSW): the court asks whether there is an unacceptable risk, and for certain serious offences the accused must first show cause why detention is not justified. Under section 179 of the Criminal Procedure Act 1986 (NSW), proceedings for a purely summary offence must generally be started within 6 months of the alleged offence.
How much does a criminal lawyer cost in Campbelltown?
Fees for criminal lawyers in Campbelltown depend on the matter, the lawyer's seniority and the fee model (hourly, fixed fee or conditional). Before any work starts, a law firm must disclose its costs in writing when they are likely to exceed the disclosure threshold. See How Much Does a Lawyer Cost in Australia? for typical ranges and fee models.
