Liberato Defence Lawyers is a boutique criminal defence firm founded by Damien Mahon (Accredited Specialist in Criminal Law) and Lindsay Stankovic.
The firm provides expert representation for individuals charged with serious and complex offences across all NSW courts, including the District Court, Supreme Court and Court of Criminal Appeal. They act for persons charged with offences including serious and violent crime, sexual assault, drug offences, and white-collar crime such as fraud, money laundering and dishonesty offences.Â
Outside of criminal litigation, the firm acts in an advisory role at the investigation stage, including pre-emptive representation for persons subject to criminal complaint or investigation by the NSW Police, Australian Federal Police or CDPP.
Liberato Defence Lawyers also provides specialist representation in quasi-criminal matters such as ICAC proceedings, coronial inquests, compulsory examinations before the ACIC, NSW Crime Commission and the AFP, and freezing, seizure and asset confiscation matters. The firm acts in professional discipline proceedings, firearms and security licensing and Working with Children Check disputes.
Liberato’s boutique model is an alternative to high volume, transactional legal practice.  Every case is partner-led, ensuring clients have direct access to the firm’s founders who work collaboratively throughout the process.
