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 Wollert and across Melbourne's north, and we appear at the Heidelberg Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Wollert 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 Wollert facing criminal charges often find themselves navigating an unfamiliar process—whether it's a matter arising from a workplace incident, a dispute that's escalated, or a charge that came as a surprise. The first step is usually understanding what you're actually facing: reading the charge sheet carefully, noting any court date, and gathering documents that might matter—text messages, emails, witness contact details, CCTV footage, or records of prior dealings with the other person. Many situations can be resolved without a trial, but that depends on the facts and what you want to achieve. Before any conversation with police or court appearance, it's worth sitting down with a lawyer to work through what happened, what you have in your corner, and what realistic options exist.
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.
