What makes Galbally Parker Lawyers Different from other Melbourne Criminal Law Firms?
In addition to this focus on understanding, empathy and quality customer service, here are a few other superlatives you can expect when you hire a Galbally Parker criminal lawyer in Melbourne, Australia:
- In-depth experience with criminal cases: Our law firm is the oldest exclusive private criminal law firm in Melbourne. We continue to focus only on criminal defence. We still have a long list of practice areas—from drug matters to cybercrime and theft—but don’t stray beyond criminal cases. We hire the best criminal lawyers in Melbourne and our staff retention is second to none. Consequently, the institutional knowledge of our firm is exceptional, leading to the best results for our clients.
- Personalised service to each client: As a private firm with a broad bandwidth and an emphasis on customer service, we make sure that every single client receives the personalised service they deserve. Our lawyers are accessible, communicative, driven and dedicated to resolving your case. Whether you have questions about your legal defence or need someone to fight for your rights or protect you against unfair prosecution measures, you can trust that we are always in your corner.
- Honest advice and consultation: We begin our client relationships with a 60-minute consultation appointment. During this appointment, one of our criminal defence lawyers will discuss your matter with you, give you initial advice, disclose details about our fee structure and help you determine the best next steps. Our goal with these consultations is to help prospective clients make a game plan for what to do next. We always like to say that no one has ever walked out of an initial consultation feeling worse.
Galbally Parker: The First to Value Criminal Defence Law and Practice It Exclusively
Galbally Parker (previously ‘Galbally Rolfe’) was established in 1976 by Brian Rolfe and Bob Galbally. In 2013, Brian Rolfe retired from the practice and from the law. It was the first firm to focus purely on criminal defence practice and to establish itself as an exclusively criminal defence law firm in Melbourne.
In 2019, Bob Galbally stepped aside from day-to-day operations, and Ruth Parker took over as Principal. The firm was shortly thereafter rebranded as ‘Galbally Parker,’ and continues in our legacy to offer the top-tier legal services for which we are known.
