Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers

I just want to say a huge thank you to Lucy, Kieran and Laura for all the assistance I have had from them all over the ten months from the time of charges being laid through to the final court case. They have all acted professionally, were very approachable and empathetic to my concerns and helped me through the legal process. I am very appreciative of their professionalism and support, and the support from Lachlan who acted as my Barrister. Huge THANK YOU to you all. I would highly recommend this firm to assist with any legal issues.

Testimonial for Mr. Tom Woodward I am pleased to provide this testimonial in recognition of Mr. Tom Woodward’s exceptional character, legal expertise, and dedication. Mr. Woodward represented me as my criminal lawyer in defending two family violence-related charges. After numerous court appearances, the final two-day contested hearing took place at the Melbourne Magistrates' Court. Thanks to Tom’s unwavering commitment and legal acumen, I was found not guilty, and the case was dismissed. This outcome brought immense relief after thirteen months of distress, uncertainty, and hardship. Tom’s guidance and support allowed me to regain my confidence and dignity within my community. I am deeply grateful for his expertise, encouragement, and steadfast belief in my innocence. His knowledge, experience, and compassionate approach provided invaluable reassurance during the most challenging period of my life. From the very beginning, Tom demonstrated absolute trust in my account of events. His kindness and encouragement helped me navigate this difficult time, and his regular after-hours phone calls offered much-needed comfort and reassurance. The night before my trial, his words provided me with the strength to face the proceedings with confidence. Both my daughter, Melissa, and I felt that his relationship with us extended beyond that of a solicitor and client—it was one of genuine care and support. Tom’s strategic decision to engage Geoffrey Steward as my barrister proved instrumental in securing the outcome we achieved. I had complete faith in his judgment, and together, they formed an outstanding legal team. His unwavering support and confidence in my case gave me the strength to reject multiple diversionary offers from the prosecution over the past 13 months. My instincts told me that with Tom by my side, justice would prevail. On behalf of my two daughters and their families, I extend my deepest gratitude to Tom. I wish him continued success in his career and have no doubt that he will continue to make a profound difference in the lives of those he represents. Francis 10/02/25

Through her dedication, I managed to get the best outcome possible and one that doesn't happen very often. I would highly recommend her, she really goes above and beyond. Lucy, you are amazing, thankyou again for all your help, and I hope to never use it again, ever. :D
