About
Sherwood
Sherwood Du
is the
Principal Solicitor
of
Nicodemus
Lawyers. He practises exclusively in criminal law and is one of the few criminal lawyers in Melbourne fluent in both Cantonese and Mandarin.
Sherwood understands the cultural and language pressures that Chinese-speaking and migrant clients face in the criminal justice system. He is skilled at identifying defences and mitigating factors from the moment a
charge is laid.
Being charged with a criminal offence can feel daunting, foreign and intimidating — but you do not have to face it alone. Every enquiry to Nicodemus Lawyers is treated with sensitivity and care, and everything you tell us is protected by
client legal privilege: your communications are confidential and cannot be disclosed without your consent. That protection is what allows us to give you frank, tailored advice and representation.
