Oxley Barristers & Solicitors is a specialist criminal law firm that appears in courts across Tasmania. We are based in Launceston and regularly travel to Hobart, Devonport, and Burnie for criminal matters.
Tasmania is a small state, and criminal lawyers here routinely appear in courts across the state. We are no exception. James Oxley has 17 years of experience practising criminal law in Tasmania — in the Magistrates Courts in Launceston, Hobart, Devonport, and Burnie, and in the Supreme Court in both Launceston and Hobart.
What sets us apart is focus. We practise exclusively in criminal defence. Most firms across Tasmania handle criminal law as one of many practice areas alongside family law, conveyancing, and commercial work. Criminal law is our entire practice, and that concentration of experience matters — particularly for serious or complex charges.
We appear in the following courts across Tasmania:

It sits primarily in Hobart and Launceston, and occasionally in Burnie. James is both a barrister and solicitor, which means he handles cases from the first phone call through to trial — you deal with the same lawyer throughout the entire process.
We take on the full spectrum of criminal matters across Tasmania, including:
