A Leading Criminal Law Firm

Galbally Rolfe is widely recognised as one of Australia's leading criminal law firms. Established in 1976, we were the first law practice in Melbourne practising exclusively in criminal law.

Today our practice includes representation and advice in the areas of criminal prosecutions, corporate law in a criminal context and professional disciplinary hearings in all jurisdictions.

Galbally Rolfe is qualified to act in all jurisdictions - from the Magistrates Court to the Federal Court, the Supreme Court and Court of Criminal Appeal in every state of Australia and the High Court of Australia.

Assisting clients through the difficulties of a criminal prosecution is not only a matter of giving good advice;  at Galbally Rolfe we are proud of our reputation for establishing a strong and supportive rapport with clients, particularly in the long and emotionally challenging course of a major criminal trial.

Galbally Rolfe are specialists in the use of electronic data management systems for maximum access to and cross referencing of the huge amounts of information generated by complex criminal trials.

Galbally Rolfe's success is largely due to the exceptional skills of our individual members and we pride ourselves on our ability to work together as a team for our clients. All matters also receive the benefit of extensive partner supervision of associates.

Because Galbally Rolfe is held in high regard, we have access to, and only use, the best barristers (counsel), who, in complex criminal matters, especially, are essential to obtaining a successful outcome. Our long experience also enables us to match the client with the right barrister as we appreciate that every client, and every case, is unique.

Galbally Rolfe has unparalleled experience in the defence of clients facing criminal prosecutions.
