Practical, experienced criminal defence representation for Maroubra and the broader Randwick City community.
Call 0414 444 474 for urgent adviceMaroubra is best known for its long surf beach, the swimmers at Mahon Pool and a tight-knit local community built around Maroubra Junction, but like anywhere it is a place where people can find themselves facing criminal or traffic charges. If you are looking for a criminal lawyer Maroubra locals can turn to, our firm acts for residents across this part of Randwick City, from a first traffic infringement through to more serious criminal matters, and we are available around the clock. This page explains where your matter is likely to be heard, how we support clients from Maroubra, and the types of charges we regularly defend.
Criminal and traffic matters arising in Maroubra are, depending on exactly where the charge was laid, most commonly heard at Waverley Local Court, though some matters may instead be listed at other Sydney courts. We cannot tell you with certainty which court your matter will be heard at without seeing your paperwork, so the only reliable way to confirm the correct venue is to check the court attendance notice you were given, or to search for your matter on the NSW Online Registry, well ahead of your court date.
Important: Temporary venue change
Where a matter is listed at Waverley Local Court, note that it is currently sitting temporarily at John Maddison Tower in the Sydney CBD rather than its usual Bronte Road courthouse, while that building undergoes renovation. This arrangement is expected to remain in place until late 2026. Do not assume your matter will be heard at Bronte Road, always check the address printed on your own notice before you travel. Full details are on our Waverley Local Court page.
We work with clients from Maroubra from the moment a charge is laid, whether that person is a long-time local, a surfer or swimmer passing through, or someone based near Maroubra Junction. We take time to explain what has happened, what the court attendance notice means and what your realistic options are. Depending on the matter, this can include liaising with police prosecutors, gathering references and supporting material, preparing detailed submissions and appearing for you in court. Given how close-knit the Maroubra community can be, we understand that discretion matters, and we aim to put your matter in the strongest position it can be, including pursuing a non-conviction outcome where the circumstances support it, though we never promise a particular result in advance.
