SCL LAWYER
Robert Hanson is a highly-respected Senior Associate Criminal Lawyer with 15 years of experience focusing on criminal defence.
He has built and refined his ability to formulate and implement effective defence strategies during his years working with a number of criminal defence law firms, and well as his own legal practice.
Robert is a people’s advocate. He is imbued with a deep passion for social justice and empathy, and is tenacious when it comes to fighting for his valued clients.
He has successfully represented clients at all levels of the criminal justice system, and in all manner of criminal and traffic law cases, from less-serious cases such as drink driving, drug possession and small supply, less-serious assaults and AVOs all the way up to commercial drug cases, sexual assaults, assaults involving grievous bodily harm, complex fraud, money laundering and proceeds of crime, and homicide cases.
Robert leaves no stone unturned when it comes to the preparation of complex cases, dissecting the available material, identifying inconsistencies, deficiencies as well as legal defences that may be available, and accessing a network of forensic and medical experts to provide clients with the highest quality legal representation.
He has a long and proven track record of consistently having charges withdrawn at an early stage in the proceedings or dismissed in court in the event the prosecution proceeds to hearing or trial, as well as downgrading charges to less-serious ones when the evidence is overwhelming, and achieving lenient results such as ‘non conviction orders’ when clients wish to plead guilty.
Robert is an integral member of Sydney’s best criminal defence team.
