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 Wallan and across Melbourne's north, and we appear at the Broadmeadows Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Wallan 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 Wallan often find themselves facing criminal matters that start with a police interaction—sometimes a roadside stop, sometimes at home, sometimes after an incident at work or in the community. By the time someone needs help, there's usually been questioning, a charge sheet, or at least a formal notice. What matters first is gathering what you actually have: any paperwork from police, messages or emails related to what happened, names of anyone who was there, and a clear account of your own recollection. Many situations benefit from early advice before your first court appearance or police interview. Bring whatever documents exist, and we can work through what happens 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.
