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 Sunbury and across Melbourne's north, and we appear at the Broadmeadows Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Sunbury 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 Sunbury facing criminal matters often find themselves dealing with police matters that need immediate attention—anything from traffic offences to assault allegations or drug-related issues. What usually brings someone to a lawyer is realising they need to understand what's happened, what they're facing, and what their options are before speaking to police or appearing in court. The first practical step is to gather any documents you have: police letters, court notices, messages or emails related to the incident. Write down what happened from your perspective, including who was there and what was said. Then you can sit down with a lawyer to work through it together.
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.
