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 Derrimut and across Melbourne's west, and we appear at the Werribee Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Derrimut 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 Derrimut often find themselves needing criminal law help after a police interaction—whether it's a matter that's been reported to them, they've been interviewed, or they're facing a court date. Sometimes it starts with a call from police or a letter in the mailbox. The first practical step is to gather what you have: any police documents, letters from the court, text messages or emails about what happened, and details of who was involved. Write down roughly when things occurred and what you remember. If you've already spoken to police, note what was said. Bring all of this when you meet with a lawyer, who can read through it with you, work out what happens next, and explain your options clearly.
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.
