About Us
I am very lucky to have had Sean B of CDLA represent me in my criminal case involving 8 charges which got dismissed under section 20BQ of the Mental Health legislation. This criminal defence firm is by far the best firm that I have ever dealt with. They always communicate with you as a client and always give you reliable legal advice. I highly recommend Sean from CDLA. Thank you for saving me!
Finished my court today with no conviction…
I am really grateful to Emerson of CDLA who helped me get the best result for my case. It was a long day from 9:30am to 4pm in court. Alex represented me on the first court, and then Emerson took over. Thanks to both of these lawyers, I got to walk out of court with no criminal record. I highly recommend CDLA! I finished my court today with no conviction!

I wanted to say a big thanks for managing my case and taking it to the best achievable outcome.
I am not big on writing reviews or feedback but I have to acknowledge and appreciate the professional and humane approach I experienced with CDLA, right from the beginning.
Your team is doing a commendable job in keeping the human aspect (emotions, stress, anxiety, uncertainty etc. that one goes through when involved with a legal matter.) intact while dealing and taking care of the legal aspects.
Alex was very attentive, informative and thorough right from our first consultation and that is why I decided to go ahead with CDLA – he is a great listener and makes an effort to provide you with all the options and information for you to make an informed decision. He is exceptional with his timely and to the point responses.
Getting CDLA and especially Alex to represent my case was the best decision after speaking with multiple law firms. Alex clearly stood out with his professionalism, attention to detail and empathetic approach.
Alex’s closing statements and the documentation was precise on the day of sentencing and all the preparation leading up helped us get the best possible outcome on the day. Grateful to you!
Jimmy – Just wanted to thank you for assembling the best people together with a winning mentality. Wish you all the best and hope you keep fighting for the people.
At court Sean was unbelievable, as he delivered the information in a very professional way, which ultimately lead to us getting a fantastic result..
I recently had the pleasure of working with Sean from CDLA for a driving related offence. From the initial consultation call he was upfront about my situation and the likely outcomes and was very knowledgeable. During the lead up to my court date, Sean was very easily accessible and was very helpful in getting me prepared for court and giving us the best opportunity to get a favourable result. At court Sean was unbelievable, as he delivered the information in a very professional way, which ultimately lead to us getting a fantastic result, a result I’m sure I wouldn’t have achieved without him. I’m very thankful to Sean and the team at CDLA for the service they provided me and will never hesitate to refer others here if they are ever in need of good representation.

Alex and the CDLA team were honest and direct with me for the entirety of my case. I greatly appreciated this. He also did a very thorough job of preparing my court hearing. The Magistrate even commented on the excellence of my lawyers prepared submissions. as a result I was acquitted under a section 14. I am grateful beyond measure.
Thank you from the bottom of my rejuvenated heart! They meticulously planned and methodologically approached my case.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Alex Istifan and Jimmy Singh. They meticulously planned and methodologically approached my case with utmost care with an empathetic approach. Alex’s professional expertise shined throughout his performance as my legal counsel. Before choosing CDLA, I called around to many criminal law firms in Sydney after I received awful news Christmas day after a series of horrible events. Alone, anxious and scared, I spent two days, as most offices were closed, calling 37 defense firms, leaving messages with 29 answering services and getting to speak with just 7 solicitors who were willing to have a chat without a $400 consultation fee. Most spoke with me just a few minutes, but it was thanks to Jimmy Singh’s empathy, generous information and willingness to go beyond that I chose CDLA. I consider myself blessed to have these lawyers work on my complex case. The justice system is not for the faint of heart but after heartwrenching year+ I can finally put this chapter behind me. Thank you from the bottom of my rejuvenated heart!
