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.
The risk of facing fines, licence loss or even imprisonment surfaces when you're facing criminal or traffic charges. Early choices, such as deciding whether to speak to police or understanding if you must, can significantly affect a case, and you may easily worry about whether these actions have negative future consequences. Also, legal procedures and terminology can quickly turn into a barrier, especially when online guidance is inconsistent, full of jargon or directly conflicting. 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. At Armstrong Legal, we understand that clear, practical information is crucial at this stage. As a nationally recognised law firm, our team specialises exclusively in Criminal Law, Family Law, Wills and Estates, Corporate Crime and Traffic Law matters. Whether you were searching for "restraining orders Victoria" or "avo order", know that we operate across many states and territories, so you can easily receive advice grounded in over 30 years of experience. For those considering criminal defence lawyers or legal support for other matters, we're dedicated to honest communication and realistic expectations, so you feel informed and prepared at each stage.
Our team can support you in a range of criminal offences, such as when you face decisions around pleading guilty or not guilty. Should your case involve break and enters, drug charges, fraud or another offence, we can provide legal support no matter how complex it is. At Armstrong Legal, we apply specialist capability built by handling more than 1,000 criminal and traffic matters each year. 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. Those who have been browsing for "restraining orders Victoria" or "criminal defence lawyers campbelltown" and "careless driving lawyer cost" can be confident that our structured approach will not overlook any detail and will position the case for the best possible outcome. Additionally, we offer fair and transparent pricing so clients understand the value of the service provided, while ensuring every matter receives the necessary attention and care.
A lawyer from Armstrong Legal will contact you directly after you make a phone call or online enquiry, offering a prompt and clear assessment of your matter.

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.
