Michael Nott operates as a sole legal practitioner, offering legal service for his clients at a reasonable cost.  His primary focus is justice and the needs of the client.  He is independent and does not work for any child protection agency.

Michael practices in the child protection and criminal jurisdictions, with a specific emphasis on medical and scientific evidence.  Whilst Michael is based in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, he defends matters in regional and city centres across all states in Australia.  Michael can also be a consultant to overseas lawyers.

Michael has a particular interest in medical evidence law and has experience in defending clients who have been accused of harming their children in a medical context, most usually in relation to Shaking Baby Syndrome and ‘Munchausen by Proxy’ (medical child abuse, Factitious Disorder Imposed Upon Another).  However, his work is not limited to these specific areas of medical theory.

The earlier you get a competent lawyer involved, the better chance you have of defending a matter.  Defending allegations involving medical matters in the criminal and children’s courts can be extremely difficult and challenging.
