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 Oak Park and across Melbourne's inner north-west, and we appear at the Broadmeadows Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Oak 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.
People in Oak Park often come to us after police involvement—whether that's a matter dealt with quickly at the station, or something requiring court attendance. Many bring questions about what happened during an interaction with police, what they've been told they're accused of, and what comes next. Start by writing down everything you remember about the incident and any police contact, including dates, times, who was there and what was said. If you've received any paperwork—a summons, a notice, an infringement notice—gather that too. Bring any witness contact details, CCTV footage, or messages that relate to what happened. We can review the facts with you and work out the practical steps from there.
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.
