Justin Wong, one of the Partners at Streeton Lawyers, was recently interviewed by the Law Society about the process of being an Accredited Specialist and how it is highly regarded within the area of Criminal Law.

Specialist Accreditation in Criminal Law is a nationally recognised mark of distinction, governed by the Law Society of NSW. There are only approximately 150 Accredited Specialists in Criminal Law in the State of New South Wales.

An Accredited Specialist in Criminal Law is a solicitor who has demonstrated proficiency in criminal law and is so recognised by their fellow solicitors. To qualify for Specialist Accreditation a solicitor must have practised law for at least five years and worked in the criminal law for at least three years. To gain Specialist Accreditation a solicitor must pass a series of rigorous assessments in communication, problem solving, client relations and the law.
