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 Mill Park and across Melbourne's north, and we appear at the Heidelberg Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Mill Park 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.
Criminal matters in Mill Park often start with a police interview, a charge, or a summons arriving in the mail. People here typically need help understanding what they're facing—whether it's a traffic or workplace incident that's escalated, a neighbourhood dispute that's gone too far, or something more serious. The first practical step is to gather any documents you have: the police letter, any written complaints, communications with the other person involved, photos, or witness details. It helps to write down what happened from your perspective while it's fresh. Before any police interview or court appearance, talking through your situation with a lawyer means you'll know what questions to expect and what to say.
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.
