About Us

At Emma Turnbull Lawyers, we act exclusively in criminal law and intervention order matters. That focus matters. When your liberty, reputation, career or family is on the line, you want lawyers who live and breathe this area of law every day, not a general practice firm dabbling in crime. Our team appears daily in courts across Melbourne and throughout Victoria, representing clients in matters ranging from police interviews and bail applications through to contested hearings, committals, jury trials and appeals. We defend all criminal charges, from traffic and drug matters to allegations of violence, sexual offences, fraud and other serious indictable crimes. We are also recognised for our work in family violence and personal safety intervention orders, acting for both applicants and respondents in highly sensitive and emotionally charged disputes. We understand that intervention orders can have serious consequences for your family, employment, firearms licences, immigration status and future criminal proceedings. At ETL, clients come to us because they want strategic, experienced advocates who know how to fight for the best possible outcome. We combine strong courtroom advocacy with practical advice, careful preparation and genuine client support. Our firm has built a reputation for being fierce in court, thorough in preparation and approachable with clients. We are proud to be recognised by industry bodies, peers and former clients for the work we do, but our focus remains the same in every case: protecting our clients and guiding them through one of the most stressful periods of their lives.
