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 Ringwood and across Melbourne's outer east, and we appear at the Ringwood Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Ringwood 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 Ringwood tend to contact us after police involvement—a drink-driving stop, an assault allegation, a workplace theft investigation, or a breach of bail. Sometimes it's a family member who's been arrested and held at the station. You'll usually want to gather what happened in your own words, any witness contact details, CCTV footage if relevant, texts or emails that matter, and details of any previous police contact. The first practical step is to understand what you're facing and whether you need representation at interview or in court. We can walk through the documents with you, work out your options, and handle communication with police and prosecutors.
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.
