Criminal

Forbes Kirby Lawyers have a proven track record in successfully representing clients in the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, District Court and Magistrates Court. Our dedicated team are well versed in advocacy after having appeared on numerous matters including sexual offences, traffic offences, assault, dishonesty, drugs, white collar crime and restraining orders. Rest assured, we will work tirelessly to build your defence no matter how minor or serious your charges.

We understand how stressful and daunting the experience of facing criminal charges can be, and we are devoted to handling your case with care, skill, attention, empathy and respect. We believe that everybody is entitled to a fair trial, and our team will take the time to understand your situation, listen to your concerns, and provide you with straightforward and practical legal advice.

We have experience in lengthy, complex trials. In 2019, following a 4 years Commonwealth Prosecution, we successfully obtained a permanent stay as a result of the prosecution's failure to comply with their disclosure obligations. You can read that decision here.
