company with 2 other people, the 2 witnesses have said that I held a
knife to and threatened them whilst myself and 4 other people took
property from a house, it did not happen this way I did not steal
anything not hold a knife to them there is no physical evidence this
happening nor any stolen property it is just the statements of 2
witnesses against myself and co accused. I am currently 21 and on a 2
year probation for drunk driving and fuel theft charges. I have plead

to go about it

Hi there. It sounds as though you will want to contest the charges that have been made against you. You have already set this in motion because you say that you have already entered a not guilty plea. The outcome of this will obviously be important because of your young age, but also because you are currently on probation.

Suggested way forward

We recommend that you seek legal advice from Legal Aid. If you meet the requirements to get assistance, you will be assigned a lawyer to help you with your case. It is important that you do this as soon as possible, to give yourself the best chance in court.

If you do not have time to wait however, or if you have enough money to pay for a lawyer yourself you can contact the Queensland Law Society Lawyer referral online service. They will be able to assist you to find a law which specialises in criminal law near you.

Alternatively you can find one by pressing the "Take Action" button through LawAdvisor - which opens in September - we can help you search for experienced lawyers and obtain fee proposals for their services. Costs for legal advice and representation will vary between providers based on experience and the scope of service.
