What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Guardian Criminal Law draws repeat praise for its defence of criminal charges and its handling of the court process. Mark Savic is named repeatedly for dedication to complex trials, with communication maintained with clients and their families as matters progressed. Shane earns credit for a professional approach, consistent updates and favourable outcomes, and Riccoh is singled out for plain explanations and honest, practical advice. Several reviewers note the welcoming and helpful manner of receptionist Melissa when first making contact.

Clients describe being kept informed and having questions answered promptly, including when circumstances shifted at short notice and a rapid plan of action was needed. Fees are repeatedly characterised as fair for the representation provided, and the work described spans trial defence, criminal charges and related family law matters, including a not guilty verdict secured alongside a barrister. Reviewers frequently mention the compassionate and down-to-earth treatment of clients and their relatives throughout what they describe as a stressful period. Repeat instructions for matters resurfacing years later also feature, with confidence expressed in the team's guidance and negotiation with prosecutors.

I was very impressed by the customer service provided by Melissa at the front desk, who was very friendly and helpful. Riccoh was also a great consultant, who gave me honest and practical advice. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a professional and reliable service.

Riccoh, I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This was by far the most unsettling period of my life and you made it so much easier. You were outstanding in service and knowledge. You showed empathy and understanding in my situation with compassion and professionalism. If I had any questions or concerns, you had the answer. I'm very happy with the outcome of my case due to Riccoh's knowledge and professionalism. Thank you again for your time, very happy client indeed.

Mark Savic and his team were highly recommended to me to defend my complex case at trial. Mark was 101% there for me all the way through and together with barrister Jason Buckley, they achieved my Not Guilty verdict through their sheer dedication and extensive experience within the criminal law system. "Thanks Mark and Jason for your down to earth manner and the support you gave to myself and family members. You guys are the best." Sent for and on behalf of AT

Riccoh was so easy to deal with and explained everything down to a T. If I had any questions or concerns, he had the answer. I'm very happy with the outcome of my case due to Riccohs knowledge and professionalism. Thank you again for your time, very happy client indeed.

ATT: This was the worst experience of my life. I encourage you to spend your hard earned money on a real team of Lawyers elsewhere. This company and the team of lawyers have nearly destroyed my record and my future prospects. Michael referred me to Mark Savic when I desperately needed some help in the past. The pathetic, appalling representation that I received from Mark is costing me tens of thousands of dollars to try and fix. Worst experience of my life.
