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 Deanside and across Melbourne's west, and we appear at the Sunshine Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Deanside 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 Deanside facing criminal matters often contact us after a police incident—whether that's being questioned, arrested, or receiving a summons. Many are working through their first brush with the system and need to understand what happens next. It helps to gather everything: any written police communication, details of what occurred, and names of witnesses. If you've been interviewed or charged, write down what you remember about it while it's fresh. Bring any documents to an initial conversation so we can work through the situation with you and talk through your options from there.
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.
