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 Blackburn and across Melbourne's outer east, and we appear at the Ringwood Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Blackburn 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 Blackburn often come to us after a police interaction—whether that's a street stop, a matter reported by someone else, or a summons in the mail. Sometimes it's something that happened months ago and only now become formal. The initial shock can make it hard to know what you're actually facing or what to do first. We start by understanding exactly what's alleged, what paperwork you've received, and whether you've already spoken to police. Gathering any messages, emails, or witness details early on helps us work through your position clearly. Most people benefit from knowing their options before anything else happens.
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.
