"Blair Criminal Lawyers are the best law firm I’ve ever had to deal with. I came into contact with them from hearing about the difficult cases they’ve won. I was represented by both Michael Blair and Emma Yazbek who I owe everything to. Michael Blair is an extremely compassionate and intelligent lawyer who will genuinely care about you, your case, and your personal situation. Emma Yazbek continuously displayed professionalism and always made me feel comfortable. I was convicted in the Local Court however they appealed it in the District Court, and we won, resulting in no conviction for my sentence. I highly recommend Blair Criminal Lawyers as they genuinely care about you."

"Being charged with an assault and having my rights disregarded by the police turned my life upside down two years ago. I picked Michael from the list of 24 hrs available lawyers at the police station. What a fortunate choice it was! You are a rarity – not only an excellent lawyer but a man with integrity, heart and compassion. Two years on, the assault charge has been dropped and discharged and you also successfully negotiated a case for me against the police for illegal arrest. I will always retain the deepest gratitude for everything that you have done for me."

"I was successfully defended by Michael Blair in a recent criminal law matter. For the uninitiated like myself, the legal process seemed both confusing and frightening, however at every step he was calm and confident and he shinned a clear, professional guiding light through the journey. Very pleasingly throughout my case Michael showed genuine empathy and care with expert consideration for my personal circumstance."

"I made a huge mistake at a festival, by supplying an indictable amount of ecstasy and knowingly deal in proceeds of crime. I knew I needed all the help and support I could get to get the best possible outcome. As soon as I heard about Michael, I consulted him right away. Michael is very professional and knowledgeable. His expertise in criminal law is outstanding, that all advice he gave was straightforward and precise – no beating around the bush. For the severity of my crime, being sentenced to a good behaviour bond is honestly the best outcome I can possibly get all thanks to Michael.."

"I was charged with two counts of wound person with intent to murder, and many other charges in relation to 4 other complainants. Michael is an intelligent, detail orientated, and driven solicitor.  He showed genuine interest in my wellbeing, and that of my family, during what was a distressing time.  He formulated a sound legal strategy.  His fighting attitude was clearly evident, as was his hard work which included late-night correspondence and working on weekends. He got me Supreme Court bail, but his greatest achievement was that the defence case he prepared meant the jury found me ‘Not Guilty by Reason of Mental Illness’ on all charges.  It is thanks to Michael that I am home with my wife and daughter, instead of being in a prison or forensic hospital."

"I could not compliment Blair Criminal Lawyers enough. Michael was very thorough, informative and always there to help or answer any questions I had through a very tough time. He got me the result I was looking for and I could not fault the service in any way.  Highly recommended from a satisfied customer."

"I could not care to tell you how sad and petrified I was. Working with Michael, I appreciated his kindness and caring nature, and I could see he really wanted to help me. He even rang me on the Sunday evening before the court case."

"I had resigned myself to face the worst, but Michael exceeded my expectations and delivered the best possible outcome. I am truly grateful for his wise council and excellent representation at the District Court."

"Thank you Michael. I hope you continue your good work to help many others like me."

"From the outset Michael has demonstrated thoroughness, understanding and compassion for our entire family as clients. Michael easily gained my trust, when he acted quickly on our behalf during a difficult and confusing situation when we were failed by another legal team. The urgency and consistency with which Michael dealt with matters was greatly appreciated."

"Michael has provided legal representation that surpassed all our expectations and left our family with an amazing sense of confidence in his ability as a lawyer."

"On behalf of my family, thank you Michael for doing an outstanding job. We are all so incredibly grateful! We just cannot begin to thank you enough for what you have done for an of us."

"Michael is an extremely professional, articulate, and direct."

"I found him to be knowledgeable throughout all aspects of my case: bail proceedings when I was first arrested, evidence law when reading the brief, and negotiations with the DPP where he was able to get most of my charges dropped."

"In preparation for sentencing he took me through exactly what was needed and simplified the process. In the sentence hearing he was able to persuade the Magistrate to not record a conviction."

"I just wanted to say a big thank you (now that the shock has partially worn off). You literally saved mine and my daughter’s future by fighting for me the way you did, and I will never forget that. To have no conviction was the best outcome and I’m so happy to have had you on my side during what was the most stressful time of my life."

"You are an amazing lawyer, and anyone would be so lucky to have you represent them."

“I can highly recommend Michael Blair as a criminal lawyer. After a foolish mistake I was arrested for a large commercial drug charge. After Michael’s good advice and great efforts, I was handed an ICO from the judge and escaped jail. I could not have asked for a harder working lawyer. Highly recommended.”

"Michael Blair represented me for Supply of a Commercial Quantity of a Prohibited Drug. I was not very familiar with the court process but was led carefully through this situation and had things explained very clearly. Michael has a no-nonsense approach to all aspects of dealing with the legal system. He was very knowledgeable, reassuring, professional and left me feeling supported and understood throughout the duration of the case. He thoroughly prepared the sentence and persuaded the Judge to keep me out of prison. I got a sensational result."

“Michael Blair was referred to me by a good friend of mine, and what a blessing he was. He took my matters into his own hands with compassion and understanding. After being convicted of assault Michael appealed and won, walking away with no conviction. He was very professional, and his communication was excellent. Very straightforward with respect. I appreciate his council for representing me and keeping my record clean.”

“Highly recommend Michael to anyone seeking legal representation. From the onset and throughout, Michael was honest and upfront with me, avoiding telling me what I may like to hear, but what I needed to hear. He went above and beyond for me, he was available round the clock for any questions or niggles I had no matter how small they may seem. If one option was unattainable, he would always look to provide me with another, constantly adapting and providing a clear sense of direction. In the end, through Michael’s guidance, we achieved a favourable outcome that I was extremely happy about and definitely did not expect. I can’t thank him enough.”

“I had the privilege of being represented by Michael over the 5 years that my case ran. I can confidently say there wasn't a day I doubted his expertise and ability. I owe my life to Michael. He worked without rest to fight for me and gave me an amazing final result. Michael is kind and intelligent and supported me during some of the lowest periods of my life.”
