I came across Elizabeth using a simple Google Search and I am so so happy that I came across her. What can I say - I cannot recommend Elizabeth highly enough or thank her enough for what she did for my family and I. If you are after someone with lots of experience, understands the industry, knows how to get the best result and will fight for you, Elizabeth is the key. From the first time I met Elizabeth to even after she successfully won my case, Elizabeth continued to reassure me that she would fight for me and made herself available whenever I needed to speak to her. I found myself in a stressful and terrible situation, but Elizabeth was extremely confident that she would get me a good result and a good result is what she delivered - she ended up getting me an amazing result which I will be forever grateful for. Elizabeth is not only highly intelligent, but she is a down-to-earth and caring lady who will fight with conviction to seek Justice. Elizabeth defended me with passion and is an absolute Superstar in the court room. I can now move on with my life, thanks to Elizabeth’s hard work and determination. I will be forever grateful and if you want the best result possible, give Elizabeth a go – you will not be disappointed and you will know exactly what I am talking about, from the moment you meet her. Thank you Elizabeth.
After being poorly represented by another firm, I was facing some serious legal trouble. I was at the point of giving up and was ready to take whatever they were going to throw at me. Thankfully after only one phone call to Elizabeth, I was put at ease because I knew I had someone on my side who was up for the job. Not once did Elizabeth give me false hope, leave me hanging, mislead me regarding costs or fail to represent me or treat me with anything aside from respect and decency. Elizabeth gave me fair and reasonable expectations of outcome yet over-delivered every time. If you are the victim of legal trouble through no fault of your own, I cannot recomment asking Elizabeth McKinnon to be in your corner fighting for you. Elizabeth is a legal machine and doesn't have an off button when there is work to be done. You simply won't find better legal representation! Thanks again Elizabeth, I don't have the words to express how grateful I am for your help.
The moment I was served I knew this historical allegation was serious and had the potential to affect not only my life but my whole family as well. In a blind panic I googled ‘sexual assault crime lawyer’ and there on the screen before me was Elizabeth McKinnon. In the late afternoon of a public holiday I didn’t expect anyone to pick up the phone but, Elizabeth did. She spent an hour talking through my situation and then requested the brief of evidence. From that moment until today (4years total) Elizabeth has been my advocate and staunchest supporter. Elizabeth is a straight shooter who never inflated my expectations however, I always felt she believed in my innocence and would fight for me till the very end. I cannot express my gratitude for her knowledge, expertise, support and tenaciousness. If you want the best, or if you need the best, then Elizabeth McKinnon IS THE BEST.
Before covid, I was faced with a series of false allegations. The stress surrounding these allegations had a devastating effect on my health, well being, and my family. The manner and professionalism shown by Elizabeth was simply, outstanding. She prepared my case with the facts, prepared the evidence precisely, and reassured me along the way with every step. Over two years went by, due to pandemic court delays, and I was finally allowed to present the facts on the table. Elizabeth spoke directly, and only needed to present a fraction of the evidence. It took only 2 minutes for my case to be finally withdrawn, and thrown out without hesitation by the court. I can not thank Elizabeth Mckinnon enough for her high-class expertise, honesty, integrity, and reassuring manner throughout the entire pandemic and court process. I am forever grateful.
When my Husband, and myself walked into Elizabeth's Office we were a shattered mess, so disillusioned with the situation at hand. We sat quiet while Elizabeth read over all the paper work that we sent her. A few minutes went by, and she announced to us, that "' I AM GOING TO WIN THIS CASE". I filled up with tears, as I truly believed in her conviction that we will WIN. I realised at that time how lucky we were to have found such a wonderful Barrister. Elizabeth worked so hard for us, phoning us up at night to ask more questions, and to let us know what she is planning to do next. The one thing I will say about Elizabeth - more than all her knowledge of the Law- is that she gives you TRUE HOPE, and in our situation that is what we wanted. Our case is now over, and we won. I highly recommend Elizabeth as a Barrister. May 2020
Elizabeth McKinnon is a rare blend of high professionalism, knowledge, skill, experience, compassion and integrity. The successful outcome of my case meant the preservation of my two greatest assets - my health and my reputation. I was in a high state of trauma at the time - so having Elizabeth to represent me - made me feel very safe and secure, no matter what the outcome could be. Despite my case being relatively small compared to her main case work - Elizabeth saw mine as no less important. I owe my life and the reputation I so highly value - to her. I will never forget it. I am eternally grateful to you Elizabeth - you are a tremendous soul. And the very best your speciality has to offer. THANKYOU from the bottom of my heart.
If I could give 10 Stars I would give eleven. What can I say about Elizabeth, she is THE most amazing person, so professional, understanding, empathetic, caring and a GREAT barrister (the best). With my situation Elizabeth was so focused on my case from the first contact, she took all the stress away which really made me at ease as my stress levels with my case were through the roof. Having Elizabeth on my side was a godsend for myself and my partner who made us feel like friends more than a client, after the case had been finalised Elizabeth followed up with call's to see how things were going with us both, which I thought was nothing more than exceptional. I would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone.
As well as being an amazing Barrister with consumate knowledge and skill in the law, Elizabeth is a lovely human with a deep interest in the person she is representing. She rang me one Sunday night about 9 pm to clarify an aspect of my case which impressed me enormously. I could not help saying, ”Elizabeth, it's Sunday night, why are you working, do you not have any friends?“ She laughed which demonstrated on top of all the other good characteristics she also has a sense of humour. So yes, I would definitely use her again should the circumstances arise. She was also not afraid to call me out when I was being stubborn or stupid. Thank you Elizabeth for your skill, judgement and care. Ian Reeders
I googled lawyer and Elizabeth showed up. I read about her and decided to give her a go. Thanks to her efforts the police withdrew their charges within seconds of meeting her. She'd done her homework and knew the system. She also pointed out some flaws in the administration of the case. The magistrate and DPP were compelled by her simple direct and well researched defence. My family and I owe Elizabeth our lives and our happiness. Sometimes the system gets it wrong. Elizabeth knows the limitations of our justice system and she fights for you to make it right. She's also friendly and down to earth. She speaks in plain English. She doesn't condescend. Money well spent.
I can’t thank Elizabeth enough for everything she has done for me. She has inspired me to achieve my goals and encouraged me to want be a better person. She has gone out of her way for months to get me when I am today and I couldn’t of done it without her. My family and i will be forever grateful to Elizabeth for what she has done for me and she has done it all out of the kindness of her heart. She is the only person I will ever trust to represent me and I feel that she cared for me as an individual. I felt comfortable from the moment I met her and knew straight away that she believed in me and was willing to go above and beyond to help me. I can't thank her enough!
I got into some trouble this January. A girl falsely claimed that I touched her multiple times without her consent when she was in my home. The police investigated me later. I was in panic. I googled and contacted multiple criminal lawyers in Melbourne to help me. At last I chose Elizabeth and I am glad that I made the right choice. She was professional, deligent and so nice to people. She really has empathy which was so helpful to me when I was on the edge of abyss. After 5 months, the police decided not to charge me probably because they don't have enough evidence. Or because my lawyer is this wonderful barrister. Thx!
First of all, I would like to thank Elizabeth for accommodating our case. She guided us all through out the process. She is always reachable or otherwise, she will call you back as soon as she can. That's one of the things I love about her. I was really nervous seeking a lawyer because I don't have any experience about this but she is so warm and very direct to the point. You can notice to her that she only wants what's best for her client and she is an expert on the field. Her skill and dedication to the case were the things that reassured us that our case will get the best resolution at fastest way possible.
No words can describe the amount of effort, care and passion Elizabeth put into my case. She calls a spade a spade. During the most stressful time in my life, Elizabeth defended me with passion, poise and purpose. From the moment we met until the foreperson confidently and repeatedly said, ‘not guilty’, she was the consummate professional, a confidante and my fearless defender. I have nothing but praise for Elizabeth who will get you the best outcome possible. I can now rest easy and live the rest of my life. I highly recommend her. Thank you once again from Me and My entire family.
Throughout the entire process, Elizabeth demonstrated a deep understanding of the law and an unwavering commitment to achieving an outcome that was absolutely amazing. Her attention to detail, empathy, and thorough research were evident in every aspect of the case. It was truly remarkable to witness her analytical prowess and ability to unravel even the most intricate legal issues. Elizabeth is undoubtedly among the best in her field and stood by us as a guardian angel from start to finish. We would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone seeking top tier legal representation.
I have only the highest praise and recommendation for Elizabeth. She took on my case five years ago and has been so efficient, thorough and reassuring all the way through a very stressful and harrowing experience. Nothing was too high a hurdle for Elizabeth and her team, Simone and Lisa. Not only was Elizabeth very professional but she became almost a member of my family, supporting us and encouraging a positive outlook as we faced the court. I strongly recommend Elizabeth and her team to anyone needing a no nonsense, supportive and professional Criminal Lawyer

We will be forever grateful and consider you as part of our family. Elizabeth you are a very beautiful human being and I would recommend your services to anyone.

Elizabeth is a remarkable Barrister. She is so professional in her job, and she makes you feel that you're her only client. It's that personal communication and advice that makes you feel you're in good hands. The case close to me in question had very serious criminal charges (8 in total) Elizabeth went beyond expectations. Her experience is priceless. Elizabeth achieved the best possible results, with just a couple of fines and no convictions on all charges. Looking for a Barrister, don't look any further, Elizabeth McKinnon is the one.
When I met Elizabeth McKinnon I immediately knew that I was in the best hands. I have never met a barrister that made me feel like I was the most important person that she was going to work hard for. Elizabeth was so honest & upfront with me, I had the best outcome & I only have Elizabeth to thank, I would only recommend someone if they truly deserved it and Elizabeth does, she goes over and above any expectations with such professionalism. Thank you for all that you have done for me! Marie Lettieri

Elizabeth is one of the most caring and capable person I’ve ever met. I still remember walking into her chambers and straight away I knew I was in good hands. She fights for your rights and doesn’t back down. She genuinely cares about her clients, she is honest, tells it as it is, and delivers what she promises. Because of Elizabeth, I got the best outcome; she literally saved my life!!! I will be forever indebted to her. If you need a strong legal council, don’t look anywhere else!!
What a dead set gun of a Baristar, has your back to the hilt, none stop take no prisoners approach at the crown no matter how long the court case dragged on for, in my case 4 1/2 years with a not guilty verdict of all charges at the end. She always has an ace up her sleeve and goes bang out of no where, when they lease suspect it. She’s the one people…….. love yah Lizzy! Thanks for always going in to bat for me , you always have my back in those times of need. Thank you

I am in my later years and had to appear in country court and I contacted Elizabeth McKinnon, she said, "leave it with me" and as a result I didn't have to appear, and only received a mandatory sentence, a small fine and NO conviction recorded. THANK YOU for your brilliant work in the courthouse and your Bubbling personality outside the courtroom. Bobby C.

I am writing under a pen name so my tangles with the law are not out in the public. Elizabeth Mckinnon got me from start to finish without ever being punished by the law or re-offending, since she was clear about what would happen if I did
Elizabeth McKinnon, gutsy and no nonsense defender for those in the right, straight to the point and not willing to back down, where Elizabeth and Holly combine they are a deadly foe and hard to stop if not impossible. If she defends you
