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 Craigieburn and across Melbourne's north, and we appear at the Broadmeadows Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Craigieburn 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 Craigieburn who face criminal charges often want to understand what's actually going to happen next and what their options are. You might have been charged after a police interaction, received a summons, or been asked to appear at court. The first step is usually to gather the paperwork—any charge sheet, bail conditions, court notice, or police statement—and write down what you remember about events. From there, a lawyer can walk through what the court process looks like in your situation, whether there are immediate things to address (like bail conditions), and what your realistic options are depending on how the matter is charged.
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.
