Brisbane Criminal Lawyers

Since 2017, we have been named annually in Doyles Guide as a ‘Leading Brisbane Criminal Law Firm’ in Queensland. Our senior lawyers have been singled out as ‘Leading Criminal Lawyers’ at both State and Australian levels and our junior lawyers have on multiple occasions been identified as ‘Rising Stars’.

Convenient Locations

We are based in two convenient locations in the Brisbane region, with offices in both the Brisbane CBD and Inala. Our resolute and resilient lawyers handle the complete breadth of Brisbane criminal matters, working tirelessly for clients on even the most complex cases. This includes providing advice for and representing those involved in drug, domestic violenceviolence, property and sexual offences. Both legal teams under the Cridland & Hua umbrella also have extensive experience across all aspects of traffic law. We provide trusted legal expertise in cases involving drink driving, driving under the influence of drugs and unlicensed driving.

Experience and Availability

We at Cridland & Hua also stand out from other Brisbane Law Firms because of our proven experience in handling these matters from the very beginning, from the time a person becomes the subject of police attention, and, depending upon which way their matter unfurls, through the bail, committal, pre-trial, trial, sentencing and appeal stages. Because of the unpredictable nature of the field within which we specialise, we know that we must be available to our clients and those who seek our representation 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We are available to appear in any court at any jurisdictional level, anywhere in Australia.

Seamless Representation

We work closely with Queensland’s leading barristers, including Queen’s Counsel where the complexity and seriousness of the matter warrants, as well as forensic experts in the medical, financial and scientific fields to provide seamless representation to our clients that is of the highest calibre.

Privacy

We strive to maintain the privacy of our clients and it is for this reason that, unless the unusual nature of the matter necessitates and the client expressly instructs, we avoid giving media interviews or otherwise attempt to leverage our clients’ publicity for our own benefit.

At Cridland & Hua we believe in performance, not promises; service, not selling; and action, not advertising. Please contact our Brisbane Criminal Law Team to assist with your matter.
