Who we are
We are a Christchurch-based criminal defence firm providing high quality representation across all stages of the criminal justice process. We appear in the District Court, Appellate Courts, and before the Parole Board for both private and legally aided clients. We service clients throughout the South Island, predominantly appearing in Christchurch, Timaru, and Greymouth.
Clients benefit from the collective expertise of two principal lawyers, with each matter strengthened by shared insight and a breadth of experience to ensure a fulsome defence.
Our “Why”
Our practice is grounded in the fundamental principles of justice with a clear focus on protecting individual rights and personal liberty. We do not shy away from challenging or unpopular subject matter, firmly believing that every person is entitled to proper legal representation, regardless of the nature or seriousness of the allegation they face.
We understand that, at times, we may be the only people in our clients’ corner. With that in mind, we place strong emphasis on clear communication, genuine care, and accessibility, ensuring clients feel supported and informed at every stage of their matter.
Whether legally aided or privately instructed, every client receives the same level of commitment and care from us.
