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 Tarneit and across Melbourne's west, and we appear at the Werribee Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Tarneit 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.
In Tarneit, criminal matters often arise suddenly—a charge arrives in the mail, someone's been arrested, or a situation has escalated and police involvement follows. Most people facing this for the first time aren't sure what happens next or what they should say. The first step is usually to gather the paperwork you've received, work out the exact circumstances, and understand what you're being accused of. Before speaking to police or anyone else about the allegation, it's worth talking things through with a lawyer. They can help you understand what's likely to happen, what questions you might face, and how to protect yourself while the matter progresses.
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.
