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 Mulgrave and across Melbourne's south-east, and we appear at the Ringwood Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Mulgrave 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 Mulgrave often face criminal matters that start with a police interaction—whether that's a street stop, a report made against them, or a summons arriving in the mail. Common situations include driving-related offences, assault or family violence allegations, theft, drug possession, and breaches of bail or community orders. The first practical step is to gather everything: the police statement, any summons or court letter, photographs, messages, witness details, and a clear account of what happened from your own perspective. Write down the timeline and anyone who was present. Having this ready before you speak to a lawyer means the firm can give you a clearer picture of where you stand and what your options are.
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.
