Defending Criminal Charges Across the Northern Territory

We are a purpose-driven criminal law firm representing clients facing charges in the Northern Territory Local Court and Supreme Court. We understand that criminal proceedings can place a person’s liberty, reputation, employment, family life and future at risk. Our role is to give clear advice, prepare thoroughly, appear with confidence, and advocate firmly for each client’s best possible outcome.

Our work is built on trust, judgement and practical experience. We take the time to understand each client’s circumstances, the evidence against them, and the consequences they are facing. Whether the matter involves a first appearance, bail application, plea, contested hearing or Supreme Court proceeding, we approach every case with care, clarity and resolve.

We provide the reliable, experienced criminal defence representation that clients across the Territory need.

With extensive advocacy experience, Koulla Roussos represents clients in courts throughout Victoria and Western Australia, can and does appear in regional, suburban, and metropolitan jurisdictions.

Meet Our Legal Experts

Harry Hollingsworth stood by me during one of the hardest times in my life. As English is not my first language, I was extremely nervous and scared, but he treated me with kindness, patience, and respect from the very beginning. He fought hard for me and helped me achieve a positive outcome. The result - not guilty, and the DVO was dismissed. I will always be grateful and would recommend him to anyone needing legal help!

I cannot recommend K E Roussos and Associates Barristers and Solicitors highly enough. From the very beginning, Koulla demonstrated exceptional professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care for my situation. What could’ve been an overwhelming and stressful experience became far more manageable thanks to her guidance, expertise, and unwavering support.

She took the time to explain every step of the process clearly, answered all my questions with patience, and always made me feel confident that my case was in capable hands. Her attention to detail, dedication, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout.

Most importantly, she helped me immensely during a difficult period and consistently went above and beyond my expectations. If you’re looking for a lawyer who is not only highly skilled but also compassionate and truly invested in her clients, I would not hesitate to recommend her practice.

Thank you for your outstanding service and support! I am incredibly grateful!!!
