Choosing the Right Criminal Law Firm in Auckland What to Look For
When you’re facing a criminal charge, your next move matters and for many people, the first decision is: “Do I need a law firm or an individual lawyer?”
Here’s the truth: You don’t need a big-name criminal law firm. You need the right representation. Someone who knows the law, knows the courts, and knows how to fight for you.
I’m Anj Singh a solo criminal defence lawyer based in Auckland. I’ve worked in and alongside some of the city’s most well-known criminal law firms. But I built my own practice for one simple reason: so I could focus on giving every client the time, attention, and strategy they deserve.
This blog is about helping you choose the right firm or lawyer for your case.
Do You Really Need a Big Criminal Law Firm?
Not necessarily.
Big firms may look impressive, but that doesn’t always translate to better service. In fact, many clients come to me after working with a large firm where they felt like just another file on someone’s desk.
What matters most is:
Expertise in criminal defence
Courtroom experience
Strong negotiation and communication skills
Availability and responsiveness
Results not just reputation
That’s what I bring without the overhead, delay, or layers of admin you’ll often find in large firms.
What I Offer (That Many Firms Don’t)
🔹 Direct contact with your actual lawyer
You speak to me not a junior, a receptionist, or someone reading your file for the first time.
🔹 Tailored strategy for your situation
No boilerplate advice. I get to know your story and build a defence that reflects your goals.
🔹 Court-tested experience
I appear regularly in District and High Courts across Auckland I know the system, the prosecutors, and how to navigate the process for the best result.
🔹 No judgment
I defend everyday people. First-timers. Professionals. Migrants. Young people. Repeat offenders. If you’re willing to work with me, I’m willing to stand with you.
What Types of Criminal and Traffic Cases Do I Handle?
Assault & family violence
Drug possession and supply
Theft, burglary, dishonesty charges
Driving while disqualified or drink driving
Protection order breaches
Youth charges
Limited licence applications
If you’re facing charges, I can help whether it’s your first time in court or your fifth.
Should You Choose a Firm or an Independent Lawyer?
If you want high-volume, high-cost legal service, a firm might suit you.
But if you want responsive, focused, outcome-driven defence from someone who knows how to win tough cases without wasting your time or money I’m here.
