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 Maribyrnong and across Melbourne's west, and we appear at the Sunshine Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Maribyrnong 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 Maribyrnong often come to us after a police interaction or court notice arrives. You might face a matter ranging from a minor traffic or drug-related issue through to more serious allegations. The first step is usually to gather what you have: the police statement, any court documents, correspondence, and notes about what happened. Many locals are working through their first experience with the criminal system and don't yet know what to expect at court or what questions a lawyer will need to ask. We can sit down and walk through the documents with you, explain the process ahead, and work out what information and evidence matter most to your situation.
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.
