One of Australia’s Most Trusted Criminal Defence Law Firms
Armstrong Legal has a dedicated and experienced team of criminal defence lawyers who practice exclusively in Criminal and Traffic Law. The primary focus of each of our lawyers is the service provided to their clients. We recognise that facing criminal or traffic charges can be confronting and stressful and has potentially serious consequences.
At Armstrong Legal, we understand that being charged with a Criminal or Traffic offence can be an incredibly stressful time and we pride ourselves on our ability to guide you through the process, every step of the way. Criminal and Traffic law can be incredibly complex. It is important to have expert advice in your corner, to help you defend your matter, or obtain a sentence that will not impact your life, family or employment negatively.
With three of our Criminal lawyers recognised by the Law Society of New South Wales as Accredited Specialists in Criminal Law, Armstrong Legal's criminal lawyers have the skill, experience and expertise to handle all aspects of criminal law.
Our lawyers practise in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and the Australian Capital Territory. We appear in the Local, District, Magistrates and Children's Courts regularly as well as in the Court of Appeal, the Court of Criminal Appeal, and the High Court of Australia.
When it comes to criminal or traffic charges, you face the fear of potential penalties such as fines, loss of licence or even imprisonment. Early decisions, such as whether to speak to police (or whether you have to), have a significant impact, and without clear guidance, it's easy to worry about actions that may negatively affect your case later. More than that, navigating legal terms and procedures can quickly become challenging, particularly when online information is inconsistent, overly technical or directly contradictory. Concerns about employment, reputation and family responsibilities become more pronounced as confusion makes it difficult to decide who to trust or what to do first. Armstrong Legal recognises that practical, plain information is what matters at this point. As a nationally recognised law firm, our team specialises exclusively in Criminal Law, Family Law, Wills and Estates, Corporate Crime and Traffic Law matters.

Should you have concerns about cases involving break and enters, drug charges, fraud or similar matters, we can assist you despite the complexity involved. Through more than 1,000 criminal and traffic matters handled annually, Armstrong Legal brings specialist capability to each case. You can trust that you'll get expert legal advice since every lawyer on our team appears in court almost daily, building real expertise in court procedures, judicial expectations and prosecution tactics. We provide support in identifying the appropriate defences and applying them to your case, whether the situation calls for a legal defence, like self-defence or mental illness, or a factual defence, such as mistaken identity or an alibi.

In addition to this structured explanation, our team guides you clearly through the court system.

I highly recommend Angela Cooney. She’s been professional, supportive, and extremely knowledgeable throughout my case. Angela took the time to explain every step of the process, kept me informed, and genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome. Her attention to detail and calm, confident approach made a stressful situation much easier to handle. I’m very grateful for everything she’s done.
