About Erin Mitchell

I am a Director and Senior Criminal Lawyer at Potts Lawyers, Queensland's largest private criminal defence law firm. I am based on the Gold Coast but I have practiced exclusively in criminal defence, traffic and domestic violence law as a solicitor-advocate across South-East Queensland. I graduated from Griffith University with a Bachelor of Laws (Honours)/ Bachelor of Arts and from Bond University with a Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice. I love what I do – I am passionate about assisting my clients through the criminal justice system and ensuring they understand their options and have a voice, working towards the best outcome, so they can move forward with their lives.I am the Vice-President of the Gold Coast District Law Association after having served on the committee for a number of years. In my role, I look forward to supporting our President in making positive changes to the law and to support our profession. I am involved in organising a number of events and the GLAD (Gold Coast Lawyers Achieving Development) mentoring program - as I feel it is vital to a happy career to have friends in the profession. I'm delighted to have a seat on Griffith University's Innocence Project Executive Committee and Advisory Board as well as being a volunteer lawyer working with students. After all, the Innocence Project largely inspired my career in criminal law. I have previously volunteered as a solicitor at my local community legal centre for a number of years, having commenced shortly after it opened in 2014 and was previously a member of the RCLC Committee as Events Coordinator. I was honoured to be named as one of Australia’s Leading Criminal Law Rising Stars in 2017 by Doyle’s Guide to the Legal Profession; and again a Rising Star in Queensland in 2019, a Recommended Criminal Lawyer in 2020 and a Recommended DUI & Traffic in 2022 as well as a finalist in the Lawyers Weekly Women in Law Awards - Senior Associate of the Year category in 2018 and a finalist in the Mentor of the Year category in 2020. I look forward to continuing to assist my clients with care, professionalism and commitment to achieve the best possible outcome, guiding them through the process. I can be contacted on (07) 5532 3133 or by email to emitchell@pottslawyers.com.au.

    I work exclusively in criminal law and domestic violence law. I regularly advocate on behalf of my clients in the Magistrates Courts of South East Queensland and also appear as solicitor-advocate on behalf of clients at sentencing hearings before the District Court. I believe every case is important - whether it is a traffic offence, drug charges or murder - and I aim to ensure that each client understands the process, their rights and is represented to a high standard throughout the criminal justice system. A significant aspect of my practice is domestic violence law and I regularly appear before Queensland's first specialised domestic violence court in Southport Magistrates Court defending applications and related criminal charges. I also have experience in criminal confiscations law - having worked with clients over the last five years to fight to regain their property. As lawyers, we get a special view of how stressful the court process can be and it is a privilege to be able to assist clients with their matters and alleviate some of that stress.

    I commenced work with Potts Lawyers as a final year law student, after developing a love for criminal law and tutoring younger students in criminal law subjects.My decision to focus on criminal law came after participating in Griffith University’s Innocence Project, a pro-bono project that aims to free the wrongfully convicted. It was an amazing experience as we had an opportunity to witness first-hand the errors which can sometimes occur in our criminal justice system and learn how to make a difference. I commenced work at Potts Lawyers under the guidance of the Directors, providing exposure to a wide variety of criminal matters whilst completing my final qualifications.
