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 Kingsbury and across Melbourne's inner north, and we appear at the Heidelberg Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Kingsbury 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 from Kingsbury often come to us after being charged with a criminal offence—sometimes through a court reminder, sometimes after an arrest or interview with police. The situation can feel urgent and confusing, especially if it's your first time. What helps most at the start is to gather the paperwork you've received: any court notice, charge sheet, or bail conditions. Write down what happened and when, and note any witnesses or evidence that matters to your side of things. If you've already given a statement or been interviewed, remember what you said. Bringing all of this when you first speak with us means we can understand where things stand and work out what your options actually are.
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.
