At Emma Turnbull Lawyers, our team understands that facing prosecution and the court process is a daunting process, not just for our clients but also for their families, friends and loved ones who are supporting our clients through their legal journey. Whilst we are here to provide you expert legal advice, we acknowledge that you may require alternate support of professional bodies for varying reasons.

To assist in connecting you with support services, we have therefore provided a list of links below of organisations who have assisted and supported our previous clients at different times.

We also understand that our clients also like to conduct their own research into the court process and therefore you will find a number of links below to the various courts & prisons that you may be seeking.
