- Joe Correy was a no- nonsense level headed representative. In such legal matters you need someone who KNOWS the ins and outs of the law and WHAT it all MEANS to YOU. There’s so much legal jargon and terminologies you need a level headed and intelligent legal man you can trust And we recommend Joe Correy Thanksread moreread lessGreg4/02/2025I walked into my case feeling like the odds were stacked against me. But from the moment I sat down with Michael and the Australian Criminal Law Group team, I knew I was in the hands of true professionals. Their level of expertise, strategic thinking, and sheer dedication were on a level I didn’t even know existed in legal defense. Michael didn’t just represent me—he fought for me. His knowledge of the law, his ability to navigate complexities, and his presence in the courtroom were nothing short of masterful. He anticipated every move, countered every challenge, and ensured that my voice was heard. I’ve never felt more confident in someone’s ability to deliver when it mattered most. What truly sets this firm apart is their commitment to results. They don’t just show up; they strategize, execute, and deliver. I walked out of court today knowing I had the absolute best possible outcome under the circumstances—something I honestly wasn’t sure was even possible. If you’re in a tough legal situation, don’t gamble with your future. Call them now. There’s a reason they have such a strong reputation. I trusted them with my case, and it was the best decision I could have made.read moreread lessC3/26/2025I had an outstanding experience with Jospeh Kori. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and highly dedicated to my case. He guided me through every step of the process with clarity and confidence, ensuring I fully understood my options. Thanks to his expertise and commitment, my case was successfully dismissed. I couldn’t be more grateful for his hard work and support. If you’re looking for a skilled and trustworthy lawyer, I highly recommendread moreread lessDanyal3/26/2025
- I highly recommend Joseph Correy, at Australian Criminal Law Group. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication were evident throughout my case. He provided clear guidance and worked diligently to achieve a favourable outcome. A trustworthy and skilled lawyer.read moreread lessTanya3/19/2025This was my first time dealing with the legal system and I was worried since I am not confident with my English. However, Joseph was very understanding and patient towards me by explaining things as simple as possible. He also responded very quickly and reassured me about any questions. Although Joseph was unable to represent me in court, Michael did a wonderful job too. They were able to achieve the best result for me (no conviction) and I am truly grateful. Thank you so much for your service.read moreread lessP3/04/2025When my son got in trouble we engaged Joseph as our legal representative. Throughout a very long year, he kept us posted, never promised what he could not deliver and most importantly, never once judges my son for the charges levelled against him (later all dismissed). On top of that, his rates were very reasonable. I am happy to recommend him to anyone, lovely person, great service. Carlijnread moreread lessDanielle2/18/2025
