Let's chat about building a brand that inspires your customers!
Tony Hargreaves & Partners is a esteemed criminal defence law firm located in the heart of Melbourne. With a focus on delivering exceptional legal services, we have established ourselves as a premier firm in the field of criminal defence. Our areas of expertise encompass a broad range of criminal matters, from minor traffic offences to major criminal trials involving white-collar crime, fraud, drug trafficking, and violence-related offences. We are regularly retained to act in superior court appeals and are proud to have a close working relationship with many of Melbourne's leading barristers. Our senior lawyers are recognised as leading practitioners in their field, and much of our work is undertaken on referral from members of the Victorian Bar and respected Melbourne law firms seeking expertise outside their own areas of practice.
At Tony Hargreaves & Partners, we believe that the success of any professional relationship is built on established expertise, sound advice, and clear communication. We pride ourselves on providing a full personalised service where our clients deal directly with the practitioner responsible for the conduct of their case. Our commitment to excellence has earned us recognition as one of four first-tier criminal defence firms in Victoria in Doyle's Guide, Australia's peer-reviewed guide to the nation's leading law firms and lawyers.
