A Specialist Criminal Defence Firm.
Liberato Defence Lawyers is a boutique criminal defence firm founded by Damien Mahon and Lindsay Stankovic.
We provide expert representation to people facing serious criminal charges in Newcastle, Sydney and across New South Wales.
We offer an alternative to high volume, transactional legal practice. By consciously limiting our caseload and representing fewer clients, we are able to give each case the close care and attention it deserves. We focus deeply on every matter, making careful forensic decisions to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Every case is partner-led, ensuring clients have direct access to the firm’s founders throughout the process. The Partners work closely with leading criminal barristers and experts, creating teams designed to win cases.
Our Role.
The core idea of a representative is someone who stands in place of, speaks for, and acts on behalf of another. It is a position of considerable trust and responsibility and, at Liberato, it is a responsibility that we take very seriously.
We are our clients’ public face and we will advocate in your best interests at every turn.
Our Difference.
We are results driven. Everything we do is geared towards winning cases and achieving the best possible outcomes for those who trust us to represent them.
To do so, we consciously limit our caseload so that every client receives the full attention of the Partner they have chosen to act on their behalf.
Our Commitment.
The name Liberato reflects our core values and commitment to justice.
Derived from the Latin Liberatus, meaning freed or liberated, it embodies the principles of freedom and fairness which are central to the criminal justice system.
These principles guide our practice and define who we are.
