Experience
Lucien specialises in criminal defence with a particular focus on advocacy in jury and judge-alone trials. He regularly appears for people in all NSW Courts across the state.
Lucien routinely represents people charged with Commonwealth and State indictable and summary offences including drug importation and supply, sexual and other serious assaults, robberies, fraud and serious property offences.
Lucien has appeared unled in jury and judge-alone trials in the District Court. He has successfully appeared in trials for aggravated sexual assault, aggravated robbery, kidnapping and sexual touching.
