If you have been charged, interviewed or bailed to appear, what you do in the first week matters more than anything that follows. We act for people from Albanvale and across Melbourne's west, and we appear at the Sunshine Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Albanvale start at the Magistrates' Court, where the difference between a conviction and a non-conviction is usually made on preparation rather than argument — character material, the plea, and how the facts are put. Serious indictable matters move to the County Court, and we run those too. You will be told plainly what you are facing before you decide anything.
People in Albanvale typically come to us after being charged with an offence—often for drink driving, assault, theft or drug possession. Sometimes a summons arrives in the mail; sometimes there's an arrest or court attendance notice. The first thing to do is gather the paperwork: the charge sheet, any police statement, bail conditions if they apply, and correspondence from court. Write down what happened in your own words while it's fresh. If you've been interviewed by police, try to remember whether you answered questions and what you said. Bring all of this to us so we can walk through it together and work out what your options are and what happens next.
Tell us what you have been charged with. We'll explain the likely range of outcomes for a matter like yours, and what can still be changed.
Leave your name and number — we call you straight back, usually within 2 minutes (8am–8pm), to understand your situation and book you in with the right lawyer. No cost, no obligation. Outside those hours we'll text you and call first thing.
We meet clients online right across Victoria — or in person at 911 High Street, Reservoir VIC 3073.
