Please note that the following testimonials are collected, supplied and maintained by Armstrong Legal Criminal Law.

Effective and timely communications Our website, in particular the going to court tour (www.armstronglegal.com.au/web/page/CL_Going_to_Court_1) is testimony that we care about you being informed of what is likely to occur in your matter and what it will cost. We guarantee that you will not leave the first appointment without being given an estimate of your legal fees or a fixed price quote. In the event that you decide not to use our services we will not charge you for the initial conference. Advanced investigative techniques Most cases are won or lost before you go to court. In trials, winning minor points can make all the difference. Nothing can be taken for granted, especially scientific evidence. We have a range of tools that we know other criminal lawyers do not have, these include: * Sentencing statistics from Judicial Commission (cost $1200 per annum) * A SIM card reader that downloads messages from SIM cards so the evidence can be used in court. * A scientific measuring wheel that provides precise measurements at crime scenes. * Video enhancing software for enhancing CCTV and other video footage. This software not only allows us to produce clearer videos it also allows us to slow down the footage. Experience and knowledge of magistrates and judges We have ten full time criminal lawyers who specialise only in criminal law. We have combined criminal law experience of more than 80 years. Our team includes: * A former criminal law barrister with more than 28 years experience; * The author of a Criminal Law textbook The Local Court Criminal Practice * Two accredited specialists in criminal law * A lawyer with a masters degree from Cambridge in International Criminal Law * A former lecturer at University of Western Sydney * Two law lecturers for the College of Law . We keep notes on each court appearance and how the Magistrate or Judge dealt with an issue so we can learn how to approach the Magistrate or Judge in the future. Honesty We do not lie for our clients or make up defences. While this may turn some people away from our firm, most people want a solicitor they can trust. Each of our solicitors has been employed because of their strong character and their belief in social justice. Thorough preparation For pleas of guilty, each of our solicitors has a thorough knowledge of what they are going to say, so that they can sell you before the court. Once you take your eyes off the magistrate, you give them permission to look down, stop listening and re read the police documents. For pleas of not guilty, you need to be ready to give evidence. While we cannot tell you what to say we can prepare you to give evidence. We can simulate a court room setting so that you understand what will occur and the types of questions you are likely to be asked when you are giving evidence. In jury trials, the jury members are making judgements about how you look and what you do or say. We will advise you on how you should behave while in court and we will give you tips on your physical appearance and body language. The right strategy Our team includes former police prosecutor, former detectives and a former acting crown prosecutor. We know the best ways to approach a problem, how to deal with the police, when to negotiate and when to fight. We work as a team and will work hard to find a solution to your problem. We will not lie for you but we will do all that we can within the law to get the best result for you. The best results The most important consideration when choosing a lawyer is finding one who will get you a great result. We consistently achieve results that score in the top 5% of results recorded in the official statistics published by the Judicial Commission. We have won many criminal law trials where other law firms gave our clients no chance of success. We are happy to provide examples to individuals (excluding the press) upon request.
