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 Sunshine and across Melbourne's west, and we appear at the Sunshine Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Sunshine 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 Sunshine often come to us facing charges that arise from everyday situations—arguments that escalate, workplace incidents, minor traffic matters, or involvement in incidents at local venues. Sometimes the person arrested isn't sure what happened next or what they're supposed to do. The first practical step is usually to gather the details: what you remember about what happened, the names of anyone involved or who witnessed it, and any messages, photos or documents related to the incident. Bring whatever paperwork you received from police—a summons, bail conditions, or a notice to appear. We can then work through what you're facing and what your options are.
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.
