Downing Centre Local Court

Every criminal matter in NSW, whether minor or serious, commences in the Local Court jurisdiction.

The Downing Centre Local Court is one of the largest Court complexes in NSW and is in the heart of the Sydney CBD.

Our criminal lawyers attend the Court on an almost daily basis for all types of criminal matters, defending clients from all over the Sydney Metro and beyond.

The Downing Centre Local Court deals with criminal matters arising from the Sydney CBD and surrounding suburbs. However, a large part of the criminal law case load at the Court is made of of matters that are referred to it by other Local Courts, particularly strictly indictable (serious) criminal offences. 

Our criminal lawyers that attend the Downing Centre Local Court have represented countless people for charges ranging from public order offences, assaults, AVOs, drug possession charges, to more serious assaults on police, break and enter offences, fraud and drug supply, to name a few. We have a high success rate defending charges and work hard to persuade the Court to reduce penalties in sentencing matters.  

Our criminal lawyers are all senior lawyers with years of experience who have appeared before Courts throughout NSW and are therefore familiar with the Magistrates that sit at the Downing Centre, who can change from time to time.

All serious criminal matters that start off at the Downing Centre Local Court but are too serious to be finalised in the Local Court jurisdiction, are committed for trial or sentence to the Sydney District Court and the Supreme Court of NSW, where our lawyers regularly appear.
