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 Taylors Hill and across Melbourne's west, and we appear at the Sunshine Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Taylors Hill 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 Taylors Hill who face criminal matters often come in after police contact or when a charge is pending. Common situations include traffic-related issues, matters arising from family disputes, workplace incidents, or allegations from neighbours. When you first speak with us, it helps to gather anything written—police letters, summons documents, witness contact details, or communications with the other party. Having a clear timeline of events and any evidence in your favour (messages, photos, receipts) makes the initial conversation more productive. We can then work through what you're facing and what steps come 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.
