Local Court
is all we do

Criminal and Traffic Lawyers

The Local Court Lawyers work exclusively in the local courts of NSW. Unlike most law firms, local court work is the only work we do. That’s why we are experts – Local Court offences – all day, everyday.

Currently operating in NSW, the Local Court Lawyers appears in the local courts in: Ballina, Bellingen, Byron Bay, Casino, Coffs Harbour, Kyogle, Lismore, MacLean/ Yamba , Mullumbimby, Murwillumbah, Tweed Heads (and all other local courts in NSW). We appear for children and juveniles in the children’s court as well.

“We'll get you the best possible outcome.”
