trial & court advocacy

Having fulfilled all the requirements of the Solicitor Accreditation Board the Law Society of NSW has certified Michael Bowe as an accredited specialist in trial and court advocacy thereby confirming Michael an expert in court and trial practice, presentation and delivery. The basic principal of good advocacy involves the preparation and persuasive presentation of a case requiring detailed analysis and communication skills to achieve a successful result. Michael is the only Criminal Defence Lawyer certified by the Law Society of NSW as an Accredited Specialist in (Court and Trial) Advocacy.

Specialist In Court & Trial

The award of specialist accreditation recognises solicitors who have demonstrated proficiency in the area of law in which they specialise. This offers the public and the profession a reliable means of identifying solicitors assessed by their peers and the law Society as having special competence in a particular area of practice.

Michael is professionally recognised to assist you with your criminal trials, hearings and pleas. Proper legal advice should be obtained in order to assess a plea or defend a charge, instigate or defend any appeal. A thorough analysis of documents, charges and evidence in the preparation of a criminal case (complex or otherwise) is necessary.

What my clients and judges have to say

Recently in the District Court, the Appeal Judge remarked “the robust and comprehensive submissions ” of Mr. Bowe.

Michael recently in the Supreme Court in Gordon Wood V The State of NSW, a civil prosecution for malicious prosecution by Mr. Wood was called as a witness as he was his criminal defense solicitor in his trial & appeal.
In cross examination Senior Counsel for the State of NSW questioned Michael complimentarily as follow.
Q “It’s fair to say isn’t it Mr. Bowe that you are a very experienced solicitor in the criminal jurisdiction?
A “I’d like to think so.”
Q. “I am not suggesting it, it is a fact”?” yes, OK.”
Q You have a high reputation as such, I think you know something about that’. A “Yes, OK”
This was a significant endorsement from highly regarded Counsel.

My client emailed me this year:
“Michael, thank you for your wisdom, support and guidance. If there is anything I can do …anything .. testimonial or whatever I can do to repay you .. please let me know. I am grateful I had you in my corner.’Regards.X”.
I replied “You just have”.

A Magistrate of the Local Court stated “I know you are a very skilful Lawyer, Mr Bowe”

A District Court Judge this year said “Mr Bowe you have a formable reputation”

“Hi Michael, Thank you again for all your efforts. Love your work, I could not ask for a better outcome!! Regards AM”

My client who had just got out of court and had his Drive Whilst Disqualified dismissed texted a referring client;
” I just got back in the car. He got me off. He fought very hard for me. I can’t believe it! I ended up with a Section 10 bond.
Kept my licence. Bowe was amazing. I was very impressed with his work. He questioned everything, spoke with passion and conviction- You couldn’t have picked a better man”.
