What do you love most about your job?
What we value most about our work is helping clients navigate complex legal challenges with strong guidance towards their best outcome. Most have never faced the criminal justice system before, and being charged can have a significant impact on their reputation, family, and employment. We understand how overwhelming this can be, which is why we provide strategic defence and unwavering support. Our team deals with these situations every day, bringing extensive experience and a genuine commitment to our clients’ best interests. Knowing they have a skilled team on their side makes a real difference during such a difficult time.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Ashworth Lawyers was founded with a clear vision—to create a modern criminal law practice where client satisfaction comes first. We are born and bred criminal lawyers who are dedicated to delivering the highest level of expertise with a sharp focus on detail. Every case matters, and we built this firm to provide strategic, results-driven defence with the personalised attention clients deserve. Our goal has always been to be the best at what we do, ensuring every client feels confident they have a skilled and committed team by their side.
