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 Melton and across Melbourne's west, and we appear at the Sunshine Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Melton 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 Melton often come to us after a police interaction or when they've been charged with something. Whether it's a first-time situation or you're dealing with a more serious matter, the immediate step is to gather what you have: any letters, notices or court documents, plus a clear account of what happened from your perspective. It helps to write down the sequence of events while it's fresh, and note any witnesses. Many residents find themselves uncertain about what happens next in the court process, or worried about how a charge might affect their work or family. We work through the specifics of your case to understand your position and explore the options available to 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.
