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 Seddon and across Melbourne's west, and we appear at the Melbourne Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Seddon 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 Seddon facing criminal charges often find themselves in unfamiliar territory quickly. A charge might arise from a workplace incident, a disagreement that escalated, something caught on CCTV, or police involvement following a report. The first steps usually involve understanding what you're actually facing—what the police report says, what evidence they have, and what your options are before any court appearance. It helps to gather any documents or communications related to the incident, write down your own account while it's fresh, and note who might have witnessed things. A lawyer can review the police material with you, explain what happens next, and work out a realistic plan.
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.
