About Phillip

A lawyer who understands the system from every angle

Phillip Weatherall began his career as a NSW Police Officer. He then spent 20 years as a Police Prosecutor, representing the Police in criminal matters, before dedicating his career to criminal defence.

That background means Phillip understands how police think, how prosecutors approach a case, and — most critically — where the weaknesses are. His clients get straight, honest advice from the very first call.

Phillip appears regularly in the Local Court, District Court, and Supreme Court of NSW, and services clients across Sydney and throughout regional NSW.
