Galbally Parker: A compassionate Criminal Defence Law Firm
When it comes to finding a criminal defence law firm, you deserve a firm that is experienced, qualified, competent and extremely knowledgeable about the world of criminal law. More than just these qualities, though, you deserve a team of lawyers who will approach your case with compassion and understanding. You want a lawyer who will take the time to understand your situation, to hear your side of the story and to advocate for your rights with an unfailing commitment to justice.
At Galbally Parker, we pride ourselves on being the type of compassionate criminal law firm you deserve. Whether your matter is a simple traffic law case or a complex criminal matter, we will approach it with the same attention to detail that we give to every client.
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. Many firms have different departments and split their efforts across various types of legal practice. We are unique in that we focus squarely 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. Consequently, the institutional knowledge our firm has in the field of criminal law is second to none in the Melbourne area.
- Personalised service to each client: As a private firm with a broad bandwidth and an emphasis on customer service, we strive to make sure that every single client is receiving the attentive, personalised service they deserve. Criminal cases often come with very high stakes, and clients in these cases deserve nothing less than the utmost attention to detail. Our lawyers are 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: In most cases, we begin our client relationships with a 60-minute consultation appointment. During this appointment, we will learn about your matter, give you initial advice, disclose details about our fee structure and help you determine the best next steps. If we feel you don’t need to hire a criminal lawyer in Melbourne, Australia to resolve your matter, we will be honest about that fact. If we think you would do best to have us on retainer, we will be honest about that, too. 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 about their case.
