Led by trusted local Cairns criminal lawyer, Michael Finch


Michael Finch has earned a strong reputation as one of North Queensland's best Solicitor Advocates. In 2021 Michael and Nick Dore, Managing Principal, joined forces to provide quality criminal defence representation in Cairns. At Fisher Dore, Michael is a senior associate specialising in criminal law. Michael received his specialist accreditation in criminal defence with the Queensland Law Society, incredibly he’s the only criminal defence lawyer in North Queensland with this achievement. Michael has an enviable record of resolving Magistrates Court matters early due to his negotiation skills, sparing his clients the cost and anguish of a trial.

“Michael’s aim is to ensure his clients receive a fair and just outcome rather than their liberty or livelihood being jeopardised unnecessarily. He fosters positive relationships within the legal community for the benefit of clients and prioritises ethical practice above all else.” – Nick Dore

Michael grew up in Cairns and on the Atherton Tablelands. He spent the first 10 years of his working life in the Brisbane building industry, before making a career change and studying law. Now a Queensland Law Society Accredited Specialist in Criminal Defence, his law career began in 2013 when he took a role with the ATSILS Office in Mount Isa. Over the next few years, he gained experience across the region, from Roma and Cunnamulla to Burketown and Mornington Island. Michael studied further and completed his Masters of Laws in Brisbane. However Cairns had always been home to Michael, so in 2018 he returned to share his expertise with the Cairns community.

Michael Finch represented me in three concurrent criminal matters in 2019. He was constantly across all aspects of my case and responded promptly and professionally to any and all of my queries. In the end, through Michael’s representation and the strategies he employed, all matters were dismissed. I cannot recommend Michael highly enough.

Thanks again! I could not recommend utilising the services of Michael Finch and the Fisher Dore team in Cairns highly enough. I am based in Brisbane, the matter in that I required representation was heard in Cairns. A prominent barrister from Brisbane recommended that I engage Michael to represent my interests from afar. The whole process was something of an unknown to me, but Michael is a first class communicator, keeping me informed at all times. Michael went above and beyond in representing my interests. The distance was not an issue, as Michael always laid out my options in a clear and concise manner. He was compassionate and thought ‘outside the box’; and ultimately his recommendations lead to a great result. Sincere thanks and appreciation to Michael and the Fisher Dore team in Cairns.

My experience with the firm relates to a common law claim for compensation, in which I was represented by Brendan and Steve and their associates. They did an absolutely amazing job and it was right in the very deepest of the pandemic that they assisted me. There was a fantastic result for me and the work done by the team was "above and beyond". In the very height of the unusual circumstances of the pandemic, these lawyers continued to provide the absolute highest standard of representation. My claim for compensation was related to circumstances of a sensitive nature. And the ability of the team to be compassionate, yet professional and focused on the details pertaining to a result was again "above and beyond". Brendan, especially stands out as a lawyer who not only understands the workings of law relating to compensation but also has the ability to relate and understand and act accordingly and appropriately to ensure a good result and at the same time providing a comfortable environment for a client like myself who has a claim relating to sensitive issues. Thanks so much Brendan. And thank you Fisher Dore lawyers.

Tom just about had a crystal ball, he knew what was likely to happen based on prior experience. This enabled a patient strategic approach to achieve a much better outcome than expected. I am still amazed at the final result. I am extremely grateful. Tom was professional, empathetic and a realist. Tom was tactical, strategic and patient. Tom engaged expert Counsel to negotiate reduced charges, including dropping a very serious fraud charge. Tom was thorough, maintained communication to keep me updated and showed attention to detail. I now appreciate the complexities of an adversarial legal system that is under pressure and the need for an expert criminal lawyer to navigate you through the process. My advice to anyone who is about to be questioned by police or who has been charged with a criminal offence is to contact Fisher Dore. Do not give up hope, trust their expertise and accept their advice and advocacy. Thank you Tom!

Two years ago, I had no idea that I would end up in Court in such a strange country as Australia. At that time, we didn't know anything about the legal process or the language. When we were most helpless, through the introduction of a friend, we found Qi Jia bei, a lawyer who was still working in Russo law firm at that time. Jiabei is serious and responsible in her work, always responding to our inquiries with professional legal knowledge and patient attitude. She went to Fisher Dore Lawyers a year ago, and we followed her without hesitation. It turns out we made the right choice. After two years of trying, our case was finally dismissed. Many thanks to Jiabei and her team at Fisher Dore Lawyers. You guys are the best!

I cannot express deeply enough my sincere gratitude and thanks to Mr. Gardiner and all the others within your firm who have enabled my representation in the matter which concluded today. This has been my darkest chapter and your people were the light that helped guide me through it. At all times, Mr. Gardiner was nothing short of professional and measured in his delivery of advice and in his representation. As a member of the law enforcement and defence fraternity, I am routinely exposed to legal professionals - never have I had the privilege of being supported by someone as erudite and efficient as Mr. Gardiner. I offer nothing short of my sincerest thanks for your firms support during this matter. Should I ever find myself in need to legal support, Fisher Dore will be at the forefront of my mind and I will be referring any of those who I command who require legal support to your firm as my personal recommendation. I am entirely supportive of any of the above being used for the purpose of marketing or general publication. Thank you again for your support.
