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 Niddrie and across Melbourne's inner north-west, and we appear at the Broadmeadows Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Niddrie 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 Niddrie who face criminal charges often contact us after police involvement or when they've been summoned to appear. The situation might stem from a workplace incident, a neighbourhood dispute, a driving matter, or something that happened during a night out. What helps at the start is gathering everything related to what happened: any messages, emails or notes you've made about events, details of who was present, photographs or video if relevant, and medical or incident reports if injury or property damage occurred. Write down what you remember while it's fresh. If you've already been interviewed, collect any paperwork you received. We can review these materials with you and explain what your options look like.
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.
