Emmanuel Apokis,
Managing Partner
“Being charged with a criminal or driving offence can be a daunting experience for most. Most clients will come to me with the prospect of losing their licence or facing a criminal conviction and possibly imprisonment. When so much is at stake, it is critical not to take any shortcuts.”
Emmanuel is one of the managing partners of the firm. As managing partner Emmanuel is responsible for the management of the Prime Law Group and is also the head of division – Traffic & Criminal Law, being an accredited specialist with the Law Society of New South Wales.
