Why Recognition Matters: Being an Award-Winning Criminal Lawyer in NZ
In the world of criminal law, results matter. So do reputation and resilience. But let’s talk about something clients ask me about more and more: awards.
What does it mean to be an award-winning criminal lawyer in New Zealand? Is it just a title or does it actually reflect the kind of defence you’ll receive?
Let me explain what recognition in this field really means, and why it can give you confidence not just in my credentials, but in your chances.
Awards Don’t Make a Lawyer But They Do Say Something
I’ve never been one to chase shiny trophies. But when you’re recognised by your peers, legal organisations, or professional bodies, it means something deeper: you’ve earned trust in the places that matter most.
Awards in the legal field often reflect:
Excellence in advocacy and results
Professional integrity
Contribution to the legal profession or community
Dedication to access to justice and client care
They don’t mean you're perfect but they do mean you've gone above and beyond consistently, and that’s exactly what I bring to every case.
The Reality Behind the Recognition
Here’s the truth: winning awards isn’t about one high-profile case. It’s about years of work. It’s defending clients when no one else will. It’s fighting tough battles in underfunded courts. It’s being the calm voice in someone’s darkest moment.
Clients don’t care about plaques. They care about outcomes. But if you’re choosing a lawyer, an award-winning track record can signal that:
They’re respected by judges and prosecutors
They’ve won cases like yours before
They know how to build smart, strategic defences
They take their ethical duties seriously
They’ve helped shape legal outcomes beyond the courtroom
That recognition can carry weight especially when you’re standing before a judge, fighting for your name, your freedom, or your future.
What Awards Don’t Tell You But I Will
Being “award-winning” doesn’t mean I’ll promise you the impossible. I won’t tell you what you want to hear just to win your case.
What I will do is fight hard, prepare thoroughly, communicate clearly, and put you in the strongest legal position possible.
Because real recognition comes from the people I represent not the plaques on my wall.
How Do You Choose a Lawyer You Can Trust?
Don’t just look at titles. Ask these questions:
Do they have experience in your type of charge?
Do they return your calls?
Do they explain things clearly and honestly?
Have they successfully defended similar cases?
Will they fight for your best interests, not just a quick result?
I built my reputation on answering yes to every one of those.
If You’re Facing Charges, You Deserve More Than a Title
You deserve strategy. You deserve clarity. You deserve a lawyer who knows the law and knows people.
So yes I’m proud to be recognised for my work in criminal defence. But I’m even prouder of every client who walked out of court with a second chance, a clean record, or a fair hearing they didn’t think was possible.
