Piers Blomfield
​Barrister

BA. LLB. Dip Pol. GDLP. LLM

I am a former prosecutor who lived in Australia for nearly 30 years before returning to New Zealand. I have more than 25 years’ experience in criminal law and as a specialist family violence prosecutor. I have instructed in hundreds of trials and thousands of sentences over all possible criminal offences and family law issues.

I ran for 10 years a law firm in New South Wales before returning to Queenstown the place where I grew up. I have chambers in both Queenstown and Invercargill, and I can attend to all criminal law, family law, immigration and family protection matters in those areas. I still hold a practice certificate in New South Wales and can assist with work in Australia if required. I have authority from the New Zealand Law Society to accept direct instructions without the need for a solicitor.
