About Sibley Lawyers
What makes Sibley Lawyers Different?
Sibley Lawyers is led by Justin Sibley, a former Police Officer working in investigative areas including sexual offences involving adults and children, and major and organised crime. He studied law before becoming a Police Officer and was admitted as a Barrister in 2001. He is a trained and practiced specialist advocate, and has built the firm to ensure clients receive a level of specialised advocacy that they can expect from a Barrister. The firm employs talented and experienced advocates to ensure our clients get the best possible representation.
What areas of law does Sibley Lawyers practise in?
Sibley Lawyers is a Queensland law firm specialised in and practising in criminal law, traffic law, and employment law. As part of the employment and criminal defence practice, we provide a dedicated Essential Services Team providing specialist legal support to Queensland Police Service (QPS) officers, Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics, corrective services officers, and other public sector front line workers.

Do you offer a free initial consultation?

Contact us to discuss your matter regardless of your location.
Criminal Law
I have been charged with a criminal offence. What should I do first?
The most important thing you can do immediately after being charged is to contact a criminal defence lawyer before your first court appearance. Do not discuss the details of your matter with police without legal advice, and do not assume that being cooperative will improve your outcome — it may not.
A criminal lawyer can review the police brief of evidence, advise you on your options (including whether to plead guilty or not guilty), represent you in court, and work to achieve the best possible outcome for your specific circumstances.
What to say to police: You are not required to answer police questions beyond providing your name and address. Exercise your right to silence and contact a lawyer as soon as possible.
Do I have to answer police questions?
In Queensland, you have the right to silence. You are not required to answer police questions beyond providing your name and address when lawfully required to do so. Exercising your right to silence cannot be used as evidence of guilt. The safest approach is to clearly state: ‘I wish to exercise my right to silence’ and then contact a lawyer before participating in any interview.
What types of criminal charges does Sibley Lawyers handle?
Sibley Lawyers handles a wide range of criminal matters in Queensland, including:
- Assault (common assault, grievous bodily harm, serious assault)
- Domestic violence and protection order matters
- Drug offences (possession, supply, trafficking)
- Sexual assault and sexual offences
- Weapons licensing and weapons offences
- Fraud, including Centrelink fraud and insurance fraud
- Money laundering and proceeds of crime
- Commonwealth offences
- Professional discipline and conduct matters
- Social security offences
What is the difference between a plea of guilty and a plea of not guilty?
A plea of guilty means you accept that you committed the offence as charged. A plea of not guilty means the prosecution must prove the charge beyond reasonable doubt at a contested hearing or trial. The right plea for your situation depends on the evidence, the strength of any defences available, and your personal circumstances. This is one of the most important decisions in any criminal matter and should only be made after receiving proper legal advice.
Can I get a criminal matter dealt with without a conviction being recorded?
In some circumstances, yes. Under section 19 of the Penalties and Sentences Act 1992 (Qld), a court may discharge a person without recording a conviction even after a finding of guilt. This is more likely for first-time offenders, where the offence is at the lower end of the range, and where strong mitigating circumstances exist. Whether this outcome is achievable in your matter depends on the specific facts and must be assessed by a lawyer. The Court has a discretion not to record a conviction, provided it does not impose a sentence of imprisonment.
What happens at my first court appearance (mention)?
At a first mention, the court formally notes the charge, and sets a future date for the matter to proceed. In most cases, you will not be required to enter a plea on the first or even subsequent occasions. Having a lawyer represent you at mention is important — it allows the matter to be properly managed from the outset, including obtaining the police brief of evidence and negotiating with the prosecution if appropriate.
I have been charged with assaulting or obstructing a police officer. What are my options?
Charges involving police officers range from obstruct police under the Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000 (Qld) through to serious assault under section 340 of the Criminal Code. These are serious matters. The prosecution must prove that the officer was acting lawfully at the time — if the officer’s conduct was outside their authority, this may provide a complete or partial defence. Contact Sibley Lawyers for specific advice on your situation.
Traffic Law
I have been charged with drink driving. What happens next?
Drink driving charges in Queensland are serious and carry mandatory disqualification periods. The consequences depend on your blood alcohol concentration (BAC), whether it is a first or repeat offence, and whether any aggravating circumstances apply. You will be required to appear in the Magistrates Court. Having a lawyer represent you can make a significant difference to the period of disqualification imposed and whether any fine or imprisonment applies.
Important: If you are a QPS officer, QAS paramedic, or hold a security clearance, a drink driving conviction can have serious consequences for your employment beyond the court-imposed penalty. Seek legal advice before your first court date.
Will I lose my licence if charged with drink driving?
In most cases, yes — drink driving convictions in Queensland carry mandatory licence disqualification. The length of disqualification depends on your BAC reading and prior history. However, in certain circumstances you may be eligible to apply for a Work Licence or a Special Hardship Order, which can allow you to continue driving for work or essential purposes during the disqualification period.
What is a Work Licence and am I eligible?
A Work Licence is a special licence available to eligible drink driving offenders in Queensland that allows them to drive for work purposes during a period of disqualification. To be eligible, you must need to drive for work (not just to get to work), earn income from driving, not have a prior drink driving history within 5 years, and your BAC must be below 0.15. Eligibility is assessed against specific criteria in the Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act 1995 (Qld). You must apply for a Work Licence before your court date — you cannot apply after conviction. Sibley Lawyers handles Work Licence applications across South East Queensland.
What is a Special Hardship Order?
A Special Hardship Order (SHO) is available to eligible drivers who have had their licence suspended (not disqualified) due to demerit points or a high-speed offence. It allows continued driving under strict conditions — typically work, medical, and essential family travel. SHOs are assessed by the court and require evidence of genuine hardship. Sibley Lawyers can advise on your eligibility and prepare a strong application.
I was caught driving unlicensed. What are the penalties?
Driving unlicensed in Queensland carries mandatory minimum disqualification periods and can result in fines or imprisonment depending on whether the offence is a first or repeat matter. If your licence was already disqualified at the time, the penalties are more severe. Legal representation at your court date can make a significant difference to the outcome, particularly in reducing the disqualification periods where possible, and avoiding jail in some cases.
Can I have a long-term disqualification removed?
Yes, in some circumstances. Under section 131 of the Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act 1995 (Qld), a person who has been disqualified for 2 or more years may be able to apply to the court for removal of the disqualification after serving a minimum period. This is not automatic — you must make a formal application and demonstrate that removal is appropriate having regard to all relevant factors. Sibley Lawyers can advise whether you are eligible and assist with the application.
Employment Law
I have been dismissed from my job. Do I have legal options?
If you have been dismissed from employment, you may have several legal options depending on the circumstances. These include an unfair dismissal claim, a general protections claim (if your dismissal involved the exercise of a workplace right or was for a prohibited reason), or other claims under state or federal legislation. Time limits apply — for unfair dismissal and general protections claims in the Fair Work jurisdiction, you generally have 21 days from the date of dismissal to lodge a claim. Contact Sibley Lawyers promptly to avoid missing your deadline.
What is the difference between unfair dismissal and general protections?
Unfair dismissal is where a person is dismissed in a manner that was harsh, unjust, or unreasonable. General protections applies where a dismissal — or any adverse action — was taken because the person exercised a workplace right (such as raising a complaint, taking sick leave, or participating in union activity). General protections can apply even where no dismissal has occurred — for example, a demotion, pay reduction, or change to duties. The two regimes have different eligibility requirements, time limits, and remedies. Sibley Lawyers can advise which applies to your situation.
What counts as 'adverse action' in a general protections claim?
Adverse action includes dismissal, injury to employment, alteration of an employee’s position to their detriment, discrimination, and refusal to employ. Where an employer takes adverse action because an employee exercised a workplace right (such as making a complaint, taking leave, or engaging in union activity), this may give rise to a general protections claim under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth).
I am being investigated for misconduct at work. What should I do?
Do not participate in a disciplinary interview or respond to allegations without first obtaining legal advice. You are entitled to a support person at any interview. What you say — and how you say it — in a misconduct investigation can significantly affect the outcome. Sibley Lawyers acts for employees facing misconduct investigations across the public and private sectors, including essential services workers subject to internal investigations running parallel to criminal proceedings.
My employer has not paid me correctly. Can I make a claim?
Yes. Underpayment of wages, allowances, penalty rates, or entitlements is a breach of your employment contract or the applicable award or enterprise agreement. Claims can be made through the Fair Work Commission, the Fair Work Ombudsman, or through the courts. Sibley Lawyers can advise on the appropriate avenue for your claim and assist in recovering what you are owed.
I have been bullied or harassed at work. What are my options?
Workplace bullying and harassment can give rise to a number of legal remedies, including an anti-bullying application to the Fair Work Commission (where the bullying is ongoing), a workers compensation claim, or action under discrimination legislation. Where the conduct amounts to sexual harassment, additional protections apply under the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth) and the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (Qld). Sibley Lawyers can help you understand your options and the most appropriate course of action.
What is a restraint of trade clause and is it enforceable?
A restraint of trade clause is a contractual provision that restricts what you can do after leaving an employer — for example, preventing you from working for a competitor or approaching former clients. In Queensland, these clauses are only enforceable if they are reasonable in terms of geographic scope, duration, and the activity restricted. Sibley Lawyers can review your employment contract and advise whether a restraint applies to you and whether it is likely to be enforceable.
Essential Services — QPS, QAS & Public Sector
What is the Sibley Lawyers Essential Services Team?
The Essential Services Team is a dedicated unit within Sibley Lawyers that provides specialist legal support to Queensland Police Service officers, Queensland Ambulance Service officers and paramedics, corrective services officers, firefighters, health workers, teachers, and other public sector employees. We understand the unique pressures facing essential services workers — including the intersection of criminal proceedings and internal disciplinary processes — and we provide advice tailored to that context.
I am a QPS or QCS officer and have been charged with a criminal offence. What should I do?
As a QPS or QCS officer, a criminal charge triggers both criminal proceedings and internal disciplinary processes. These are separate processes but the outcome of one can affect the other. It is critical that you obtain legal advice before participating in any interview — whether with police or through the misconduct process — and before making any statement. Sibley Lawyers acts for QPS officers in exactly this situation and understands the specific risks and obligations involved.
Important for QPS officers: In a criminal interview, you have the same right to silence as any other person. Obtain legal advice before any interview.
I am a QPS or QCS officer and I have been accused of assault by a member of the public. What happens?
Complaints against police officers involving alleged assault are taken seriously and are typically investigated by the Queensland Police Service’s Ethical Standards Command (ESC) or the Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) or the Ethical Standards Group for Corrections. Depending on the severity of the allegation, criminal charges may also be laid. Sibley Lawyers has experience advising QPS and QCS officers in this situation and can represent you in both the criminal proceedings and any internal disciplinary process.
My employer (a government agency) is seeking to recover an overpayment from my salary. Can they do this?
Government employers in Queensland have the ability to recover salary overpayments, but this is subject to legal limits on the amount that can be deducted from any single pay period and the process that must be followed. You are entitled to be notified and to respond before deductions are made. In some circumstances, particularly where the overpayment was caused by an error on the employer’s part and you changed your position in reliance on the payments, recovery may not be appropriate. Sibley Lawyers can advise on your rights and whether the recovery is being conducted lawfully.
I work in health or education and am facing a professional conduct investigation. Can Sibley Lawyers help?
Yes. Sibley Lawyers acts for professionals across the public sector — including health workers, teachers, and corrective services officers — who are facing professional conduct or disciplinary investigations. We have also acted for a number of nurses and other professionals facing criminal charges related to their employment, including dealing with regulatory proceedings in the QCAT and QIRC. These processes often run alongside criminal or employment proceedings and require careful management. We can advise on your obligations, assist in preparing your response, and represent you at any hearing.
I have been served with a Police Protection Notice or Domestic Violence Protection Order. What does this mean?
A Police Protection Notice (PPN) is an immediate short-term order issued by police at the scene of a domestic violence incident. It can impose conditions including exclusion from the family home, no contact with the aggrieved, and weapons restrictions. A Domestic Violence Protection Order (DVPO) is a court-issued order that can have similar and longer-term conditions. Both can have serious consequences — including for employment, weapons licensing, and living arrangements. Sibley Lawyers can advise on your options, including whether to contest the order or seek an amendment to its conditions.
