CRIMINAL LAW
At CBD Law, we provide strategic, high-level criminal defence representation across the Central Coast, Sydney and throughout New South Wales. Following our merger with Finn Roache Lawyers in August 2025, our expanded team delivers a powerful combination of experience, advocacy and results-driven legal strategy.
If you have been charged with a criminal offence, early legal advice is critical. Our criminal defence lawyers act swiftly to protect your rights, manage risk, and position your matter for the strongest possible outcome, whether that be withdrawal of charges, negotiated resolutions, or robust court advocacy.
We regularly appear in the Local Court, District Court and Supreme Court of New South Wales, representing clients across a broad range of matters including assault, drug offences, fraud, domestic violence allegations, traffic offences and serious indictable charges. No matter the allegation, we approach every case with precision, discretion and absolute commitment.
One of the most critical moments in any criminal matter is the initial interaction with police or authorities. It is essential that you seek legal advice as early as possible.
Our team includes highly experienced advocate Mani Shisheneh, who brings a meticulous, analytical and commercially astute approach to criminal defence. Admitted to the Supreme Court of New South Wales and the High Court of Australia, Mani has extensive advocacy experience across all levels of court. Known for his thorough preparation and strategic mindset, he is committed to achieving outstanding outcomes while treating every client with respect, discretion and without judgement.
At CBD Law, we do more than represent you. We stand beside you at every stage, providing clear advice, strong advocacy and a focused path forward during what can be an overwhelming time.
