We offer expertise and years of experience in a wide range of legal matters, including criminal law, white-collar crime, disciplinary proceedings, department prosecutions, WorkSafe prosecutions and building disputes.

When you face criminal charges, it can be daunting. You struggle with anxiety and uncertainty – fear of a police investigation, making a mistake during the interview, confusion over the legal justice system and stress about the proceedings and outcome. We understand the long-term emotional and practical consequences of a criminal conviction. You’re worried about your job, your family, your reputation, and your future. All these concerns can weigh on you and your family during the process.

Whether you’re at the police station for an interview, have already been interviewed and charged, facing court proceedings or thinking about appealing a conviction or sentence, our criminal lawyers are determined to act in your best interests and achieve the best result for you.

Our team is friendly, approachable, and respectful. We deal with every matter empathetically and nonjudgmentally. We approach each case with an understanding of the cultural and personal circumstances of our clients and their families.

At Gallant Law, just like you, we’re parents or family-focused people. Having dealt with thousands of people just like you, we understand the anxiety of legal proceedings for both you and your family.

If it puts you at ease, we can involve your family in our communications and consultations and draw on their support as much as you are comfortable with.

To ensure you have access to the best support and resources throughout the experience, we can connect you with counsellors, medical professionals, job opportunities and housing support. Through our involvement with these various professionals and organisations, as well as our sincere interest and training in culture, diversity and inclusivity, we provide a service that sets us apart from other firms in our industry.

We have developed an upstanding reputation over the last 20 years with judges, magistrates, and barristers, building strong relationships with all the role players in the criminal justice system to put you in the best possible position throughout the process. This also extends to knowing the best experts who can support your case with evidence or therapeutic support.

What sets us apart? The best results come from persuasive, measured, and respected representation. An aggressive, angry style of representation may impress some clients, but experience tells us it doesn’t get the best results. We work hard and strategically to get the very best result for you.

We have extensive experience in all forms of legal services, including written and court advocacy, negotiations, pleas and trials. We counsel clients through appeals, breach of court order proceedings and bail applications. We always put your case, your interests, and your rights first.

Our team is trained and experienced in dealing with mental impairment cases and clients with complex mental health issues. Our Principal Lawyer is also a fully trained and certified Mental Health First Aid provider.

As a small firm, we believe in a holistic approach to legal representation. We consider your life beyond the case you’re currently facing to provide you with warm, consistent, and clear communication at a time and place that is convenient to you. This can be in person at our office or prison, on the phone or via Zoom.

And if English is not your first language, no problem. We have a multi-lingual team who can give you legal advice in Greek, Italian, Arabic, Ukrainian and Russian. We also have strong working relationships with many interpreters including Vietnamese, Cantonese and Mandarin, on call if needed.

Giving back to the community is important to us. We pride ourselves on our involvement in charities and community events. As a firm, we support women in business, local businesses and sports, and LGBTIQ+, Aboriginal/Torres Strait Island, African and Pasifika communities. We have sponsored several initiatives and events to elevate the success and wellbeing of those seeking support or in need.
