Andrew Tiedt
Andrew is Armstrong Legal’s Trial Advocate, a Law Society of NSW Accredited Specialist in Criminal Law, and one of the most sought after criminal lawyers in NSW. He has spent his entire career working exclusively in criminal law.
Andrew has acted for thousands of clients who had been accused of criminal offences. These matters have included high profile prosecutions, matters of enormous personal significance, and complex matters where expert advice and advocacy have made all the difference.
He also has experience across a wide range of matters. This has included appearing for persons charged with murder, sexual offending, fraud, serious driving offences, drug supply and possession, violence, and internet based offences. As well as his work in the higher courts, he has acted for many clients with less serious allegations, including driving and regulatory offending.
Andrew has appeared in criminal matters before the Supreme, District, Local and Childrens’ Courts. He has also done quasi-criminal work before the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT), the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT), as well as the NSW and Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission.
He has also acted in civil proceedings that are connected to criminal charges or criminal allegations. This has included applications for the freezing of assets, defending claims for damages arising out of alleged criminal offending, and acting for employees accused of defrauding their employers.
Andrew handles claims against Police and other bodies for such matters has false imprisonment, unlawful arrest, assault, and malicious prosecution.
Andrew has established a reputation as a fierce and skilled advocate for his clients and is one of the very few private solicitors in New South Wales who appears in jury trials without counsel. Where counsel is required, Andrew has the connections and the experience to brief whoever is needed, and to put together the right legal team for the circumstances.
Perhaps just as importantly, Andrew has always striven to communicate with clients. We frequently hear complaints from clients that their lawyer did not explain something, did not listen to them, or that the lawyer was impossible to get hold of. We understand that clients who have been charged with a criminal offence need someone who will speak honestly and frankly with them, answer their questions, and give them the information they need to understand and deal with what is before them.
Andrew is the curator and editor or www.trialdirections.com.au (a leading resource for criminal lawyers in NSW) and maintains a busy and well followed LinkedIn account that provides daily caselaw updates and summaries for his tens of thousands of followers.
Andrew Tiedt was very professional and considerate to personal circumstances and gave sound advice that resulted in the best outcome possible. Highly recommended.
Words can’t describe how grateful I am to Trudie Cameron being my solicitor and to Andrew Tiedt presenting my case in the court. They both have been very supportive and amazingly professional and effective. I’ve got an absolutely fantastic outcome I couldn’t even dream about.
Soon after meeting Andrew I knew he was the solicitor I wanted to handle my matter. He immediately sprang into action which brought me stability and hope during a tumultuous time in my life. Andrew was never afraid to give me straight answers to my tough questions which is a true mark of integrity. He is clearly at ease in the court environment and I believe his calm and measured demeanour went a long way to helping me secure the best result from my day in court. I would certainly recommend you approach Andrew if you need assistance.
Andrew was a godsend, he was so caring and understanding of our situation. He explained everything every step of the way. I cannot praise him high enough. Andrew is a very talented lawyer. Andrew has an amazing knowledge of the law, there was not a question he could not answer. I would not go anywhere else. Thank you so much Andrew for getting such a great result for our son and thank you for your kindness and compassion. Armstrong Legal is blessed to have you.
