Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the best criminal lawyers in Australia?
As of October 2026, the 3 highest-ranked criminal lawyers in Australia on the Starworks directory are Criminal Law Group - Sydney Criminal & Traffic Lawyers 🥇 (5.0 stars from 1,093 Google reviews), Criminal Defence Lawyers Australia (5.0 stars from 746 Google reviews) and Criminal Law Group | Criminal Defence & Traffic Lawyers Campbelltown (5.0 stars from 320 Google reviews).

How many criminal lawyers does Starworks rank in Australia?
Starworks ranks 206 criminal lawyers in Australia, holding 12,342 Google reviews between them. Across the 206 the median rating is 5.0 stars from a median of 20 reviews. Of the 206, 175 are rated 4.5 or better and 34 have passed 100 reviews. The most-reviewed carries 1,095 reviews, more than the top-ranked criminal lawyer holds, which is why rating alone does not set the order.
How does Starworks rank criminal lawyers nationally?
To rank criminal lawyers across Australia, Starworks combines each business's Google star rating, its review volume, and whether customers can reach it by website and phone. Volume is weighted because it shows how much evidence stands behind a rating, so a 4.9-star criminal lawyer with 200 reviews ranks above a 5-star one with 5 reviews. Placement cannot be bought. For scale, the median rating across the 206 criminal lawyers in Australia is 5.0 stars from a median of 20 reviews.
Where can I find the best criminal lawyers in my city?
Starworks publishes a separate ranking for criminal lawyers in every Australian city and suburb it holds enough data for, each built from that place's own Google review record rather than from this national list. Browse by city below.
Why does my criminal lawyer business not appear in these national rankings?
Starworks ranks public Google Maps data, so a business needs a Google profile in the criminal lawyer category carrying at least one review and a rating to be eligible. This national ranking of criminal lawyers in Australia lists the top 50 of 206 criminal lawyers; a business ranked outside them appears on its own city page wherever Starworks holds enough data for that city.
