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 Meadow Heights and across Melbourne's north, and we appear at the Broadmeadows Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Meadow Heights 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 Meadow Heights who face criminal matters often need to act quickly once they've been charged or contacted by police. You might be dealing with traffic offences, theft, assault, drug-related charges, or family violence allegations—situations that can affect your work, housing or parental responsibilities. Start by gathering any documents you have: the charge sheet, police statements, correspondence from court, or bail conditions. Write down a clear timeline of events as you remember them. If you've already spoken to police, note what was said. If you haven't been arrested yet but are worried about potential charges, that's also worth discussing early. Having this information ready helps us understand your situation and what options might be available.
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.
