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 Thomastown and across Melbourne's north, and we appear at the Heidelberg Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Thomastown 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 Thomastown often come to us after police involvement—usually following a street incident, workplace dispute, or allegation that has spiralled. Sometimes it's a first encounter with the criminal process; sometimes someone's been charged and needs to understand what comes next. The most practical first step is to gather what you have: any police paperwork, messages, witness details, photos or video from the time, and a clear written account of what actually happened from your point of view. Bring any communication with police, and think through the sequence of events carefully. We can then review the material with you, explain where things stand, and map out realistic options.
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.
