Practice areas
Criminal Defense
We are proud to be one of Adelaide’s leading criminal law firms.
At Barbaro Thilthorpe Lawyers, we are renowned for our specialist work in criminal law and recognised as one of Adelaide’s leading criminal law firms.
Our highly-dedicated lawyers have represented clients charged with relatively minor offences, such as traffic offences and disorderly behaviour, through to serious criminal offences, such as drug trafficking, assault, and murder.
We routinely appear in all South Australian courts and travel interstate. We also act on criminal appeals to the High Court of Australia, where our matters have resulted in some of Australia’s common law.
Legislation is often changing and amendments can have direct and adverse implications should you be charged with or convicted of an offence. It is essential that you obtain specialist legal advice to ensure that you understand all of the potential consequences of your pending charges and/or convictions.
Family
As family law specialists, we understand that there are sometimes unfortunate personal circumstances in our lives that require legal advice. This is a difficult and stressful time, which is why our lawyers endeavour to always be sensitive, sympathetic, and understanding of your situation.
We specialise in complex family law matters, which inevitably involve property and children.
Choosing to seek professional legal advice is a big decision, and our family lawyers are renowned for being approachable and compassionate, while ensuring that you are fully informed in all decisions throughout the process.
When you find yourself in a family law dispute, it is important that you seek quality legal advice as soon as possible. Our experienced family lawyers are able to provide you with comprehensive advice on all the issues that arise when you separate from your partner, including custody disputes, divorce, and the division of property and assets.
Accidents & Injuries
If you have suffered a personal injury, it is critical to seek legal advice in relation to your entitlement for compensation for your loss.
This is likely to include ongoing medical costs, loss of working ability and reduced quality of life. Serious injuries can also entail expensive necessities such as assistance around the home and property adjustments to accommodate physical disabilities.
The Civil Liability Act 1936 sets out the relevant legislative provisions for personal injury claims.
