Brisbane Criminal Lawyers

Words cannot express how grateful we are to Bruce and his entire team. They were extremely supportive, professional and helpful with any query we had. I highly recommend this firm for anyone who is in a position where they feel there is no good outcome. I had the pleasure of meeting the entire team and I was very impressed with each role that they played. This firm will fight for you, looking for any possible solution and producing the best possible outcome. As a family we are still in shock and a true miracle happened. Thank you to everyone on the team you all went above and beyond.

The firm as a whole has been wonderful, a special thankyou to Leo Strachan - brilliant.

39 yo asian woman being bullied and discriminated by Leo. Provoked me in highest anxiety and depression. Have to see psychologists from this PTHD. I have sent full respond to you Bruce. Im heading to your office by 3:30 to get my full refund back, if not by then ill head to police to make formal complaint to Leo. Then To Discrimination department, Legal Service Commision about misconduct. I need my $3300 back. Dont steal money from a victim of violent with 2 degress and a whole community support. Think about your business and license damages due to your employee misconduct over this small refund. When i say i will do it. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

I’d like to start off by giving a shout out to Leo. I was in a really bad situation and he managed to get me the best result for my matter, I cannot thank him enough for all the work he had put in behind closed doors for my case. By far the best lawyer hands down. If you need a lawyer feel free to give Leo a go, he will get you right

Absolutely unprofessional people they took my money and hold for years and case had not even looked at it and worsened things was at the end I withdrew from them and they said they had lost my entire files … be careful of using this people , they are really money hungry grabbers…

A false criminal charge nearly ruined the lives of many people involved, luckily Bruce was our solicitor and he managed to have the case thrown out of court. Bruce was efficient, an expert on law and the process, showed empathy and was the rock we needed to get us through. I cannot recommend him enough, for the darkest of times. Bruce won't stop until he attains the outcome needed. Thank you Bruce, you saved a life.

Thanks Leo an the team! wow absolutely fantastic job so glad with the outcome guys I have extensive criminal record got 6 mths parole no jail absolutely amazing thanks very much!

Experienced criminal specialist solicitors.

I highly recommend Brisbane Criminal Lawyers. Making our initial enquiry about our matter was done with ease. Jade our lawyer was professional, polite and handled our case from start to finish with ease. We are so glad it is over. Thankyou Jade & Brisbane Criminal Lawyers.

Leo was such a great lawyer and came to our aid when we needed him most. I highly recommend him to anybody in need of a criminal defence. Leo had handled our case with such high standards. He managed to get my son released when we thought it was not possible. So I would like to thank Leo and the Brisbane criminal lawyers team for all the hard work through that stressful time.

We have been with Bruce before so it no a no brainer that we enlisted his services again, we were expecting jail time for this incident Bruce did hint there could be possibly of jail time but like a true magician he pulled the white rabbit out of the hat towards the end of his submissions, I have to admit before this i thought things were not going well with the judge, true to form in his last session of the hearing he fought tooth & nail to sway the judge of circumstances submitted by the prosecution, we are happy to say judge handed a 12mth jail sentence suspended on a 12mth good behavior parole. Once again can not speak highly enough of Bruce & his team at Brisbane criminal lawyers with there professionalism and astuteness, once again thank you Bruce, I would definitely recommend Brisbane City lawyers dont short change yourself on a lesser services, two from two wins.

Bruce is an amazing Lawyer and I highly recommend him to anyone ! He knows the law (unlike many lawyers that I have been told about and had experience with). He has truly got justice for close family and friends of mine. My only advice is don't waste your time with other Lawyers and then have to get Bruce to bail you out! Save you time and go straight to Bruce you won't be sorry. Thank Bruce for all your support.

Highly recommended. Bruce has a professional reputation as an expert in this field, and knows his stuff; how, what , limits, etc. The team you will work with are also polite and professional from the top down dealing with highly confidential matters. Outcome: 10/10, i.e best possible scenario. Advice: don't hesitate, just do it! Every case is different. A big thanks to Bruce and his team who were all present on the day. Well done! Our warmest thanks and gratitude for your good work.

The managing director has great strong character

Absolutely incredible team at Brisbane Criminal Lawyers, Bruce did an impeccable job representing me in court and really saving me from what could of been a really bad outcome. Cheers to the whole team

Beware careful .....very very powerful set of Criminal Lawyers...They often openly boast as "We are not lawyers, We are Criminals" ...They know how the Police Prosecution in Queensland or "Boganland" works.. Amazing expert advice...They might try to help you ....else they will openly tease you for a fee of 20K...They have a smart young chap who works for them as well ...

I can't thank Brisbane Criminal Lawyers enough for their hard work in achieving a great outcome. You don't deal with an individual, you get a team. Thanks for all that you've done.

Would highly recommend Brisbane Criminal Lawyers to anybody facing a criminal charge. Bruce handle our case extremely professionally. We are very happy with the outcome that Bruce fought hard for. A criminal charge with no conviction recorded and no jail time served! You’re a superstar Bruce.

Legal Precedence. I returned to Australia after working overseas. When QPS (Queensland Police Service) executed a search warrant on my premises, I realised I was in Brisbane, and what may be legal internationally, may be illegal in Brisbane.

Brisbane Criminal Lawyers were not my first choice. There was no legal precedence for my situation, and the law was clear. If you did it, you're guilty, and there is no defence to what I did that would keep me out of Jail.

At 60 years old, instead of planning for my retirement, I was facing a 15 year jail sentence. I couldn't believe there was no 'wriggle' room, or as it's known in legal terms 'proportionality'.

I searched for new legal representation. I contacted dozens of law firms, and asked some basic questions as a 'job application'. I had broken two Federal Laws and one Queensland Law. Bruce Peters was the only lawyer who suggested the severity of the sentence could be softened. As an example, 'intent'. What was my intention when I broke the law.

My lack of exposure in the legal world of solicitors, lawyers, barristers and the prosecution officers left me frustrated and angry sometimes, as it felt nobody was listening to a word I was saying. It turned out, I wasn't listening to what I was being told.

Sentencing. Jail time for my crime is a standard requirement. If you aim for the Moon, you're bound to make it halfway. That's what Bruce Peters did. He aimed for the Moon, no jail time, suspended sentence, a fine, even community service. If he achieved half of what he aimed for, it would still be a good outcome.

With no defence to my crime, Brisbane Criminal Lawyers still made a presentation of 'exceptional circumstances'. The result was legal history. We overshot the Moon.

No jail time, no recorded conviction, no fine, no community service. Then, a second legal precedence followed with a court order to have equipment confiscated during the execution of the search warrant, returned. For an extra sugar hit, all this on half of what was originally quoted.

Bruce Peters did all that he could within the limits of the law, then he introduced the reality of the human factor.

Talk to Brisbane Criminal Lawyers before you commit yourself. I was given a 30 minute face to face FREE consultation. Take them up on their free offer. A face to face meeting before you let someone control your future is imperative.

When Bruce Peters gave me his business card, I noticed the motto 'just because you did it, doesn't mean you're guilty'.

A simple quote easily overlooked, applied to a complex legal matter, now has a place in legal history, in both Queensland and Federal Law.

A huge thank you to Mr Schoenmaker and the team at Brisbane criminal lawyers for helping me through my court case. Nicholas was easy to talk to and explained everything to me in terms that I could understand.

A fantastic result with no conviction recorded and I couldn’t be happier.

I highly recommend the team at Brisbane criminals lawyers to anyone needing legal help.

I received excellent legal aid from Mr. Shoenmaker who was very professional and saw that the best outcome possible, for my situation, was achieved. I do not wish to ever need a criminal lawyer again but in the event that I do, I know I will be using Brisbane Criminal Lawyers again.

Highly recommend Nicholas and Bruce for any legal needs. We have been in a battle for 2Years with the court and Nicholas and Bruce never gave up. They went above and beyond to make sure justice was served the correct way and did not give up on us once like a previous firm did. They are lovely easy to get along with people and if I ever needed a solicitor again they would be the first point of contact. Thankyou both so much 😀

The team at Brisbane criminal lawyers were so understanding and helpful throughout the process, I was overwhelmed at first by the process but the team at Brisbane criminal lawyers really took the time to sit down and help me get the required outcome and all charges dropped I find them to have the Highest tenacity. If you’re truly looking for someone that fights for what is true then I would have no qualms in recommending this firm I think in this day and age that commonsense does not prevail when dealing with a system that sometimes does not reflect the truth. Once I sat down provided the team with what really happens they were more than willing to fight they don’t burn up all your time with unnecessary correspondence because they truly take the time to get the facts. Thank you guys so much for your support. 👍👍👍. I will always use Brisbane criminal lawyers when it comes to criminal law. It’s true in what they say just because you did it doesn’t mean you guilty.

We have been looking for a lawyer around brisbane and found Nicholas Schoenmaker, so i would like to thank Nicholas for helping us with my brothers case, he was very professional and made us feel comfortable knowing that we would trust him, great outcome from my brothers case yesterday and would highly recommend him if anyone is looking for a lawyer.

Went to Brisbane Criminal Lawyers seeking help and representation. In a very straightforward way, Nicholas Schoenmaker explained the implications and possible outcomes for the case I had. I found Nicholas to be very knowledgeable, personable as well as professional, and easy to work with. His advice was clear and conclusive and I was impressed at his attention to detail. I felt reassured and well looked after with his services. He committed to timeframes and did not charge excessively. I’m extremely pleased with the outcome he managed to fetch for my case and would happily recommend this practice to anyone.
