Criminal Law

Expert criminal defence when everything is at stake.

Overview

Being charged with a criminal offence is one of the most confronting experiences a person can face. Your liberty, reputation, and future employment are all at stake — and the decisions you make in the earliest stages of a matter can define the outcome.

Barrister's criminal law team appears in the Magistrates, County, and Supreme Courts of Victoria. We handle everything from minor traffic matters to the most serious indictable offences — with the same level of dedication and expertise every time.

A senior criminal lawyer is assigned to your matter from day one. We are available for urgent consultations outside business hours, including on weekends, because we understand that criminal matters don't wait.
