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 Fawkner and across Melbourne's north, and we appear at the Broadmeadows Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Fawkner 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 Fawkner who face criminal charges often find themselves uncertain about what happens next. Whether it's a matter handled by police, a summons in the mail, or something that arose unexpectedly, the practical first step is to gather documents: the notice you received, any police statements or incident reports, text messages or correspondence related to the matter, and details of any witnesses. Many locals benefit from understanding the process before their court date—what to expect, what questions to prepare for, and whether negotiation might be possible. We can review what you have, explain where things stand, and work through your 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.
