General Crime

With over 25 years of experience in criminal law, Quentin is a specialist criminal defence Barrister who brings a wealth of knowledge, courtroom expertise, and strategic insight to every case he takes on. His practice covers the full spectrum of general crime — from minor offences to the most serious allegations. 

Quentin generally only defends criminal cases but spent a large portion of the early years of his practice acting for the prosecution, becoming an ‘A list’ prosecutor for the Attorney General prior to moving into exclusively defence work. This experience gives him a unique perspective on how cases are investigated, prepared, and presented in court by the prosecution, and enables him to outthink prosecutors and give tactically astute advice to clients. 

Quentin has been instructed in many high-profile and complex cases, earning a reputation for clear advice, thorough preparation, and persuasive advocacy.

Whether you are under investigation, have been invited for a voluntary police interview, or are facing criminal charges in court, Quentin can provide expert representation from the earliest stages of your case. His role is to guide you through the process, protect your rights, and fight your corner every step of the way.
