Timpano Legal Recognised in Doyle’s Guide for the 11th Year

This year, Timpano Legal has again been named in Doyle’s Guide. It marks the 11th year our firm, and our director Laura Willox, have been recognised by Western Australia’s legal community for our work in criminal defence.

We’re proud to be listed in Doyle’s Guide once more because of where the recognition comes from. Doyle’s Guide isn’t an award you apply for or pay your way into, but a judgement made by the people who watch us work.

Our nominations

This year Timpano Legal has been recognised for our highest number of awards, with 4 nominations for our firm, new focus areas and a rising star.

• Criminal Law: Leading
• Criminal Law: Recommended (Liat Ofri)
• Traffic Law: Recommended (Laura Willox)
• Rising Star: Jessikah Niesten

What the recognition is

Doyle’s Guide is an independent guide to the legal profession across Australia. Its rankings are built on peer review. Lawyers and barristers across Western Australia are asked who they rate in each area of law, and the listings are drawn from those responses.

For criminal law in WA, Doyle’s recognises both firms and individual practitioners and Timpano Legal features in both. The firm is named among the state’s leading criminal defence practices, and Laura Willox is named in her own right as a leading criminal lawyer.

Why peer recognition carries weight

Plenty of firms can point to a good year but being named by your peers across more than a decade says something different about our firm.

Other criminal lawyers and barristers see what clients often can’t. They see how a firm prepares a brief, how it argues a point, how it conducts itself against the prosecution, and how it behaves when a matter gets difficult. When that group consistently puts your name forward, it’s a reflection of the standard you hold case after case, year after year.

That consistency is the part we value most. Criminal defence is serious work with real consequences for real people. Reaching an 11th year of recognition tells us the reputation we’ve built has been earned in the courtroom.

The firm behind the listing

Timpano Legal has been a specialist criminal defence firm in Perth since 2008. We built the practice on a straightforward idea that the legal and personal side of a person’s situation are connected. We don’t believe in the phrase “that’s not our job”.

That approach is part of why our standing has held over time.

Thank you

Recognition like this is never just about the firm. It reflects the trust our clients place in us, and the regard of the colleagues and counsel we work with across Western Australia. We’re grateful for both.
