Brisbane Criminal Lawyers

Firstly, I want to say that my experience with Leo was an extremely positive one. He took the time to understand my perspective and although my charges were non-serious, non-violent he took the matter seriously and was highly professional (hence the two stars). Unfortunately, the other lawyer who I worked with seemed to be dismissive and took the matter lightly. I alerted this lawyer to the possibility that the charges could have changed to more serious ones. He was almost snide in his response intimating that, "well you shouldn't of done it". He also got me confused with another client who had been charged with sexual assault. This is interaction left me feeling highly stressed and uneasy about the upcoming proceeding. When we went to court the charges had changed just like I had warned they might. We had planned that I plead guilty to the initial charges, "stealing and wilful damage". Well, now the charges were more serious and not knowing what to do, I plead guilty. My lawyer had no defence planned and as a result apologised for my actions and for his presence/representation of me. The victim had misled the court and so did the corroborating impact statements. Contrary evidence to their claim can be found by a published newspaper source, which I was aware of well before my court date. I could have easily given my lawyer this information and he could have developed something resembling a defence. But he dismissive myself, my concerns and my matter. He said I had to be pleased with the outcome of a non-conviction, fine and probation. Yes I was happy I didn't have to go to prison but I'm also certain a duty lawyer would have done a more thorough job defending me. If I was him, I would have also been embarrassed by what transpired. You are berated by a judge because you haven't done your job, so you choose to submit to their verbal tirade. Then you must convince your client and self that it is only the outcome that matters? Where is your self-respect and respect for client you are supposed to represent? Well, I guess it doesn't matter because the money just gets put to the business trust and onto the next criminal.

Words cannot express how grateful we are to Bruce and his entire team. They were extremely supportive, professional and helpful with any query we had. I highly recommend this firm for anyone who is in a position where they feel there is no good outcome. I had the pleasure of meeting the entire team and I was very impressed with each role that they played. This firm will fight for you, looking for any possible solution and producing the best possible outcome. As a family we are still in shock and a true miracle happened. Thank you to everyone on the team you all went above and beyond.

I’d like to start off by giving a shout out to Leo. I was in a really bad situation and he managed to get me the best result for my matter, I cannot thank him enough for all the work he had put in behind closed doors for my case. By far the best lawyer hands down. If you need a lawyer feel free to give Leo a go, he will get you right

A false criminal charge nearly ruined the lives of many people involved, luckily Bruce was our solicitor and he managed to have the case thrown out of court. Bruce was efficient, an expert on law and the process, showed empathy and was the rock we needed to get us through. I cannot recommend him enough, for the darkest of times. Bruce won't stop until he attains the outcome needed. Thank you Bruce, you saved a life.

I had a difficult case in which I was left out of the estate. With the help that I received from Mark, I was able to receive my share of the estate. Mark Stone was professional and caring. He is straight forward and he lets you know what the deal is. Recommend the man any day.

Leo was such a great lawyer and came to our aid when we needed him most. I highly recommend him to anybody in need of a criminal defence. Leo had handled our case with such high standards. He managed to get my son released when we thought it was not possible. So I would like to thank Leo and the Brisbane criminal lawyers team for all the hard work through that stressful time.

We have been with Bruce before so it no a no brainer that we enlisted his services again, we were expecting jail time for this incident Bruce did hint there could be possibly of jail time but like a true magician he pulled the white rabbit out of the hat towards the end of his submissions, I have to admit before this i thought things were not going well with the judge, true to form in his last session of the hearing he fought tooth & nail to sway the judge of circumstances submitted by the prosecution, we are happy to say judge handed a 12mth jail sentence suspended on a 12mth good behavior parole. Once again can not speak highly enough of Bruce & his team at Brisbane criminal lawyers with there professionalism and astuteness, once again thank you Bruce, I would definitely recommend Brisbane City lawyers dont short change yourself on a lesser services, two from two wins.
