What our clients say

Thank you Adam from Bell Criminal Lawyers for being outstanding! Not only has he been so professional but he has moved mountains to assist with getting a loved one bailed out under difficult circumstances. From the moment we engaged him, he has kept us in the loop and gone above and beyond for us.

You really are a trooper and I cannot speak highly enough of you and the work that you do for your firm. Thank you Adam!

Kristy has been my legal representative since I was 15 and she is not just good at what she does but she is also an amazing support who will always give great advice and lead you in the right direction with everything she can. She is very loyal and compassionate at what she does and has helped me on a number of occasions where I have turned to her with lengthy amounts of charges and I always end up with the best penalty and defence. Let’s just say 3 out of 4 times I have been incarcerated was from parole breaches the other time was remanded on a lot and was released from Court.

She will make you help yourself to be the best version of you and always goes hard for her clients as she is most experienced and loves her job I wouldn’t go anywhere else. She can sometimes be hard to reach as she is a very busy woman always fighting for her clients but that is a sign that tells you I’m right.

Kristy Bell and her team are professional and capable criminal lawyers. I am always happy to engage her services acting as my town agent for matters where needed or refer clients where I can’t assist.

Highly recommend.

Alongside Kristy’s professionalism & high experience in her field of work, she’s caring, kind hearted, always took the time to listen and make me feel understood throughout hardship.

I can’t recommend her enough.
