Armstrong Legal - Canberra

Armstrong Legal is a national law firm with more than 30 years of experience, and has been helping Canberrans with legal matters for over a decade. Its lawyers practise across multiple states and territories in criminal law, corporate crime, and traffic law. The firm has seven areas of expertise: criminal law, family law, corporate crime law, contested estates, traffic law, commercial law, and administrative law.

In Canberra, its criminal lawyers represent clients in the Magistrates Court, Supreme Court, and Children's Court. Armstrong Legal has lawyers who are Accredited Specialists in Criminal Law, and its lawyers appear in Court almost daily. Where the firm is unable to assist in a particular jurisdiction or area of law, it works with a trusted network of partner firms. Services include criminal law, traffic law, family law, commercial law, and contested estates.

Canberra clients of this practice describe a consistent sense of reassurance that carries from the first conversation through to the final result. Anastasia Qvist is singled out for her command of the case, her preparation and her ability to see a way forward where others saw few options, with several accounts crediting her with readying people for court. Cara draws repeated thanks for attentive care, clear advice and a calm manner that left clients feeling their matter genuinely mattered. Rachel is remembered for guidance from beginning to end, leaving nothing unchecked and helping people feel settled as events unfolded.

Stephanie earns praise for composure, confidence and straightforward communication from the outset. Candour about process and costs comes up often, with fees negotiated down and fair outcomes secured, including in a contested will. Christine Arpurel is named for negotiating a fair result in that estate dispute and sparing a client further litigation. The wider team is described as understanding and supportive, providing professional backing through negotiations and court appearances alike, a theme that runs through accounts of the results achieved.
