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He has a long and proven track record of consistently having charges withdrawn at an early stage in the proceedings or dismissed in court in the event the prosecution proceeds to hearing or trial, as well as downgrading charges to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.
Highly recommend to contact him for criminal matters
Robert is very helpful lawyer who knows what to and how to maximise chance of winning cases. Highly recommend to contact him for criminal matters.
He has implemented clever and super effective strategies to get me out of murky water
I consider myself super lucky to be represented by Robert Hanson at the court Yesterday. At the age of 57, -Unfortunately- Ive found myself facing some serious charges for the first time in my life. It was Robert who guided me through hard times. He has implemented clever and super effective strategies to get me out of murky water. It was not something I d expect a lawyer defending me at the court passionately while navigating through the rules of Law in front of Magistrate. Like we see on Tv shows. But this time, it was real.
He not only represented me at the court but also thought me it might be sometimes heaps better pleading guilty rather than not to receive the best result. A new expression for me “ plea of convenience “!
He has that amazing capacity to explain to you what’s best for you and what needs to be done with honesty.
When Robert was defending me at the court Yesterday expressing my facts -which were not written on police fact sheet and explaining why I ve behaved that way after receiving a punched in the eye, I felt like my younger brother was defending me passionately. The one I never had. So thank you Robert
On the court day he went above and beyond to fight for a great outcome for me

My matter was handled well
Thank you Mr. Robert Hanson for your excellence, overall. You are an impressive and down to earth realist who helped me understand the layers in navigating the legal landscape.

We managed to acquire a nearly impossibly great outcome
Absolutely amazing —
Mr. R Hanson, my assigned representative, committed to months of extremely extensive background time and work in order to best advise and conduct our procedures during the case. All the while maintaining a reassuring, friendly, and proper customer service. Through his assistance, after nearly 6 months of collaboration — We managed to acquire a nearly impossibly great outcome. If it was possible to give 6/5 stars, I wouldn’t hesitate for a single moment.
Thank you, and all the best —
