Frank Castiglione KC
“My professional relationship with Mr. Trowell commenced in 1989 when he was defending numerous offenders in the District and Magistrates Courts. In most cases, I was the charging police officer and given the nature of our adversarial system, Mr. Trowel tested myself and police evidence extremely vigorously. I came to admire his persistence and commitment to obtaining justice for his clients, his court decorum, presentation and his substantial legal knowledge”.
Michael Dean (former President of the WA Police Union)
