Character Issues & Criminal Records

Finding out your visa is at risk because of past (or even alleged) conduct can be stressful. At Estrin Saul Lawyers we know how confronting character concerns can be, and we’re ready with straight‑forward advice and a genuine commitment to your case.

Character Issues & Criminal Records

How we can help

Our lawyers specialise in complex character and cancellation matters under s 501 of the Migration Act 1958 and regularly act for clients facing:

  • Notices of Intention to Refuse or Notices of Intention to Consider Cancellation (NOICC);
  • Mandatory cancellations and requests for revocation;
  • Adverse character assessments arising from conduct, criminal charges or convictions.

If you’ve received a notice or decision, our specialists can explain your options in plain English, prepare persuasive submissions with supporting evidence, and represent you before the Department of Home Affairs, the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, and the Federal Courts.
