Phil Simpson has been a Barrister at the Victorian Bar for over 25 years. During this time, he has appeared for thousands of clients in a wide variety of cases. Phil spends most of his time appearing in the Magistrates’ Court for people who have been charged by the Police with driving offences.

Phil has a thorough knowledge of the law and is also pragmatic.  He is known for his down-to-earth approach. He works hard for his clients and he is determined to get each of his clients the best possible outcomes.

Phil understands that the Court process can be a very stressful experience for the person charged as well as their partners, parents and family.  Sensitive to this, Phil will always take the time to thoroughly explain to every client the steps that are involved in achieving the best outcome. He will explain the “legal speak” in a way that makes sense. He will meet with you in person and he is also available via text, phone and email to answer any questions that you may have.

Whatever the reason that you find yourself charged with an offence, it’s important to get advice from someone who understands the complexities, the process and the law.

In preparation for your matter, I will meet with you personally, listen to your story, analyse the facts and provide advice on the law. I will also make suggestions about individuals and agencies that may assist with the preparation of appropriate reports that will assist to minimise your penalty.
