Victims of Crime
If you have been a victim of a violent crime in Victoria, you may be eligible to access financial assistance through the Victim of Crime Assistance Tribunal (VOCAT). This scheme has been set up to provide financial assistance to victims of crime for the costs incurred or are likely to occur (such as counselling, funerals) as a direct result of being a victim of crime.
Criminal Law
If you have been charged with a criminal offence or breach of an order, we can assist you. Protecting your rights is our first priority.
Seeking legal advice before attending court and appearing represented demonstrates to the court that you are taking the matter seriously. We are experienced advocates who can support you through the court system.
Traffic Law
Don't assume a traffic offence is not serious or 'just a driving matter', there can be significant consequences with this type of offending, and the courts take such matters very seriously.
Victorian traffic offences can carry substantial financial penalties and even, terms of imprisonment. It is important you seek experienced legal advice before attending court.
Inquiries & Commissions
Being summonsed to a coercive examination by the Independent Anti-corruption Commission, Office of the Chief Examiner or Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission can be a stressful event. We have the knowledge and expertise to assist you in appearing before these inquisitorial bodies.
Interventions Orders
If you find yourself involved in an Intervention Order proceeding, it is important that you seek legal advice, as soon as possible. Having a clear understanding of your rights and options, particularly when there are children involved will assist you in an efficient resolution or your matter.
