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 Bacchus Marsh and across Ballarat & the central highlands, and we appear at the Bacchus Marsh Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Bacchus Marsh 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 Bacchus Marsh who face criminal charges often come to us after a police interview, a court summons, or following an arrest. Many are dealing with matters that started locally—a dispute that escalated, a driving incident, or a charge arising from work or home. The first step is usually to gather whatever paperwork you have: the police statement, summons, or any correspondence from court. Write down your account of what happened while it's fresh. If you've already spoken to police, note what was said. If you're facing a court date, check the paperwork for when and where you need to appear. We can review the documents with you, work through what happened, and explain what your options are moving forward.
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.
