Gary was one of Australia’s most celebrated detectives. During his
34-year policing career he led some of the country’s biggest murder investigations including the suspicious disappearance of
3-year-old William Tyrrell when he left in controversial circumstances. Since leaving the police he has been employed as an investigative journalist, co-authored two top selling No. 1 True Crime Books and hosts top rating podcasts, ‘I Catch Killers’.
He is still passionate about justice for victims of crime, strongly supports restorative justice and is continuing to assist victims of crime

Ellyse Kwan
Ellyse exclusively practices across all areas of criminal law, including white collar crime, proceeds of crime, corporate crime, sexual assault, child sexual assault, drug supply and drug importation, domestic violence assault and Apprehended Domestic Violence Orders, Supreme Court bail applications, and all traffic matters- from drink driving to dangerous driving occasioning death or grievous bodily harm.

Raymond Zhai
Friendly, personable, and with an inherent drive and motivation to succeed, Ray is the Principal Solicitor and Managing Partner of Zhai and Associates. With a double-degree majoring in Psychology and Law, combined with his experience as a senior lawyer within a renowned criminal law practice in Sydney for over half a decade, Ray’s ability to connect with his clients, understand their circumstances, and present their version of events to the Courts with impact and candour make him a top criminal lawyer in Sydney.
