About the company

Sibley Lawyers is a specialist criminal, traffic, and employment law firm founded in 2017 by Justin Sibley, who is the Director. Justin Sibley is a former law enforcement officer admitted as a barrister in 2001. Robert Sibley is General Counsel, Jack McDonald is a Senior Associate (Employment), and Ryan Lindeberg and Brianna Elliott are Solicitors. The firm has five offices across South East Queensland, based in Brisbane, Ipswich, Caboolture, Cleveland and Southport. It appears in courts and tribunals across Queensland, including the Magistrates Court, District Court, and Supreme Court of Queensland, as well as the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission.

A dedicated Essential Services Team provides specialist legal support to Queensland Police Service officers, Queensland Ambulance Service paramedics, corrective services officers, and other public sector front line workers. The team includes former police officers and barristers. Sibley Lawyers provides representation for clients facing charges, investigations, court proceedings, workplace disputes, bail applications, licence issues, and appeals across South East Queensland and wider Queensland. Its work includes defending contested charges, negotiating reduced charges, preparing bail applications, assisting with work licence and special hardship order applications, and helping clients reduce the impact of legal proceedings.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

A supportive and plainly spoken approach is the theme running through feedback on this Brisbane criminal law practice, where clients recall being kept informed and having each stage of their matter explained in terms they could follow. Justin Sibley, together with colleagues Ryan and Nick and barrister Matt, is named repeatedly for combining legal skill with genuine kindness during stressful proceedings, including serious allegations involving stalking and carriage service offences. A number of customers describe how thorough preparation and strategic advocacy resulted in charges being withdrawn, enabling them to keep a security licence or return to work.

Matters involving litigation, property settlement and internal investigations also attract praise, particularly from people who had never been before a court. Clear communication before and after appearances, honest guidance and steady reassurance surface throughout the accounts, with clients noting that complex disputes became manageable. The practice is depicted as responsive and willing to understand individual circumstances rather than treating a case as routine, and that consistent attention across multiple court appearances is a point that comes up often.

I would like to sincerely thank the Sibley Lawyers Team for their professionalism, dedication, and support throughout my matter. Facing a criminal charge is an incredibly stressful experience, but from the very beginning the firm took the time to explain everything clearly and ensure I understood each step of the process. What stood out most was the genuine effort they put into achieving the best possible outcome. They were thorough, strategic, and always made me feel that my case was being handled with the highest level of care and attention. I’m extremely grateful for the time, patience, and expertise they invested in my case. Their commitment and professionalism made a very difficult situation far more manageable, and the outcome reflects the hard work they put in. I would highly recommend their services to anyone needing strong and reliable legal representation.

Review for Justin Sibley I can’t thank Justin enough for his support and professionalism during my recent traffic matter. It was my first time ever attending court, and understandably I was extremely nervous. From the very beginning, Justin was thorough, knowledgeable, and incredibly empathetic to my situation. He took the time to clearly explain the process, ensured I understood my options, and represented me with genuine care and professionalism. His preparation and attention to detail gave me confidence during what was otherwise a very daunting experience. Thanks to Justin’s expertise, the outcome was far better than I could have ever hoped for. I’m incredibly grateful for his guidance and representation, and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a solicitor.

I was charged with serious criminal charges including unlawful stalking and use of carriage to menace and harness. I was dealt poorly by Queensland police, I was distressed and distraught until I found Sibley Lawyers and the professional help from Justin and his team. The charges were discontinued and I was able to continue my career in the security industry by obtaining my security license. I am grateful and thankful for Justin and his support throughout the process
