Ballarat Criminal Lawyer is an editorial site that helps people in Ballarat and the surrounding regions find a criminal defence lawyer they can work with.

What this site is

• A single, considered recommendation rather than a directory of every lawyer in town.
• A reading guide on how to think about choosing criminal representation in regional Victoria.
• A short, practical reference on the Ballarat Magistrates’ Court and the surrounding regional courts.

What this site is not

• Not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice or representation. If you have been charged with a criminal offence, contact a criminal defence lawyer directly.
• Not a paid directory. The recommendation is editorial.
• Not an independent ranking. The site is open about which firm it recommends and why.
