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 Macleod and across Melbourne's north-east, and we appear at the Heidelberg Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Macleod 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 Macleod who face criminal charges often find themselves uncertain about what happens next—whether it's a matter that might be resolved quickly or one that will go to court. Many come to us after police have contacted them, after an incident at work or in the community, or after receiving a summons. What helps most is gathering what you have: any letters or notices from police, details of what happened and when, names of anyone involved or who witnessed it, and any messages or records that relate to the matter. Bringing these things together gives us a clear picture of where you stand and what your realistic options might be.
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.
