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.
Potential penalties associated with criminal or traffic charges, including fines, loss of licence and even imprisonment, can be concerning. Decisions made early in the process, including whether to speak to police or whether you are required to do so, can have a significant impact; without clear guidance, concerns may arise about actions that could negatively affect your case later. Also, legal procedures and terminology can quickly turn into a barrier, especially when online guidance is inconsistent, full of jargon or directly conflicting. Confusion about the process leaves you uncertain who to trust and what to do first, raising anxiety about potential effects on your job, reputation and family. 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.

Our team can support you in a range of criminal offences, such as when you face decisions around pleading guilty or not guilty.

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.
