Why Many Clients Choose a Female Criminal Lawyer in Auckland
There’s no “one-size-fits-all” when it comes to choosing the right criminal lawyer but for many clients, having a female lawyer on their side makes a big difference. Whether it’s about trust, communication, or understanding sensitive circumstances, I’ve found that clients often feel more heard, more supported, and more empowered when they work with someone who brings not just legal skill, but empathy and insight.
I’m Anj Singh, a female criminal and traffic defence lawyer based in Auckland. I’ve represented hundreds of clients across a full spectrum of charges and I bring both strength and strategy to every courtroom I walk into.
Here’s why more people especially women, first-time offenders, and those in vulnerable situations choose to work with a female criminal lawyer.
1. We Listen Differently
In my experience, many clients especially those facing family violence, partner disputes, or mental health struggles need more than just technical advice. They need someone who listens without judgment. Someone who can take in the full story, not just the police summary.
Being a woman in this field, I often bring a more client-centred approach. I take time to understand your background, your context, and your goals and that directly shapes the defence strategy we build.
2. We’re Often Better at Navigating Sensitive Charges
Whether you’re facing allegations of:
Domestic violence
Assault in a relationship
Child-related charges
Protection order breaches
Drug offences linked to addiction or trauma
...the emotional dynamics can be intense. I understand the psychological and relational nuances that many of these cases involve and I help the court understand them too.
This isn’t about being “soft” it’s about being strategic with empathy.
3. Strength Looks Different And It Works
There’s a stereotype that courtroom strength means aggression, dominance, or bravado. I disagree.
Real strength is preparation. It’s knowing when to speak and when to hold back. It’s presenting a clear, persuasive argument that actually lands with the judge. That’s how you win cases and it’s how I’ve built my reputation.
I don’t shout. I advocate.
4. Women Face Unique Legal Challenges and I Get It
If you’re a woman charged with a crime, you may be dealing with layers that go beyond the law childcare, family court, relationship dynamics, social judgment. As a female lawyer, I see those challenges. I don’t dismiss them. I work with them.
I’ve defended:
Women charged in the context of toxic or abusive relationships
Mothers balancing criminal charges with custody issues
Migrant women navigating cultural and legal systems simultaneously
Women wrongly accused out of revenge, misunderstanding, or emotional volatility
I know what’s at stake and I fight to protect your freedom, your reputation, and your future.
5. Not Just for Women But for Anyone Who Wants a Different Kind of Defence
Plenty of my clients are men. Many of them tell me they prefer working with a female lawyer because the process feels calmer, clearer, and more respectful. They don’t feel like they’re being judged or dismissed. They feel like they’re being taken seriously.
That’s the standard I hold myself to for every client.
