Thank you for visiting our website and let me introduce myself, my name is Steven Brough and I am the owner and founder of Clarity Law.
I founded this practice in 2001 after working for a decade before that in other firms with the belief that I could provide clients with the best possible legal advice on criminal law matters and the best service clients have ever received from a law firm but at a reasonable cost. For the past 11 years with Clarity Law I am pleased that we have been able to achieve this.
I have appeared thousands of times since 2001 in courts throughout Queensland assisting clients in all manner of criminal law matters. There is virtually no aspect of Queensland criminal law that I have not represented clients before the courts in. I am one of the most experienced criminal lawyers in Queensland. I am proud of the record of success I have been able to achieve for clients and their families. I am also very proud of the trust and appreciation all my clients have shown to me.
My name is Belinda Smyth and I am an owner and office manager at Clarity Law.
I have worked in the legal industry for the past 19 years. The legal firms I have worked in have ranged from large firms undertaking work in all areas to smaller firms specialising in one area. I have held almost all positions from office junior and paralegal to office manager. I have also worked in the Public Service in Canberra in the Legal Services Commission and am also a Justice of the Peace.
