About Andrew

Andrew welcomes briefs in criminal law, family law, regulatory matters and administrative law.

Before coming to the Bar, Andrew served in the Victoria Police for more than 20 years, most recently as a Sergeant in the Victoria Police Prosecutions Division where he has been working as a Police Prosecutor since 2017. This experience has given him an extremely detailed understanding of criminal law, police procedure, disclosure and evidence management, criminal investigations, evidence gathering and regulatory enforcement.

Andrew invites briefs in summary criminal defence matters, a wide range of prosecution matters, IVO matters and family law briefs. Additionally, Andrew accepts briefs in the Coroners Court and for regulatory bodies. He also welcomes motor vehicle accident insurance matters.

Andrew brings to his practice strong analytical skills, an extensive knowledge of courtroom process, and deep insight into the operation of law enforcement agencies and government regulators. Outside of his courtroom advocacy, Andrew was involved in Victoria Police’s response to the Royal Commission into the Management of Police Informants and engaged on matters involving public interest immunity.

Andrew obtained a Bachelor of Laws (Hons) from Deakin University in 2018.

Outside of the law, Andrew is the Founding President and Coach of a suburban basketball club and is a committed advocate for youth sport in community development.

Andrew read with Kyle McDonald.
