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 Strathmore and across Melbourne's inner north-west, and we appear at the Broadmeadows Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Strathmore 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 Strathmore facing criminal charges often find themselves navigating unfamiliar territory—whether it's a first incident or a more serious matter. Common situations include traffic offences, assault allegations, drug-related matters, or breaches of family violence orders. When you're arrested or summoned, the urgency can feel overwhelming. Before taking any step, gather what documentation you have: the police notice, any court papers, witness contact details, and a record of what happened from your perspective. Write down the sequence of events while it's fresh. Understanding what you're actually facing—not assumptions, but the specific allegation—is the foundation. A lawyer can review the facts with you, explain the process, and work out what comes next.
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.
