Gatenby Criminal Law

Gatenby Criminal Law helps people charged with criminal and traffic offences. The firm acts at every stage, from police interviews and bail applications to trials and sentencing.

The firm is a boutique practice that started on the Gold Coast in 2011. Its solicitors appear in the Magistrates, District and Supreme Courts, and Director Michael Gatenby appears in court daily.

The team also acts in domestic violence matters and work licence applications. Fees are discussed on the first phone call, and the firm can give a fixed fee quote at the first consultation.

Gatenby Criminal Law has offices in Southport and Coomera on the Gold Coast. Its lawyers appear in all Queensland courts and often appear in Northern NSW and Sydney. They also attend police stations and prisons across Queensland and NSW.

The firm works only in criminal law and traffic law. It handles drug offences, assaults, domestic violence, white collar offences, bail applications and drink driving matters. It also acts in quasi-criminal prosecutions brought by councils, regulators and professional boards. Staff offer a 24-hour emergency crime line and free first consultations.
