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 Brunswick and across Melbourne's inner north, and we appear at the Melbourne Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Brunswick 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 Brunswick facing criminal charges often find themselves in situations that escalated quickly—a street incident, a workplace dispute, a late-night disagreement, or something that started online. Most reach out after police contact, a court letter, or following arrest. What matters first is understanding exactly what's alleged and gathering the relevant facts: what happened, who was there, what was said, any messages or recordings, and the sequence of events as you remember it. It helps to write down a clear account while it's fresh, note any witnesses who could speak to what happened, and collect any documents—texts, emails, photos—that are relevant. We can then review what you've gathered and work through the options with you.
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.
