Advice Before Court

We recommend booking a one hour conference with your Bourke lawyer before going to court. You will get expert advice on what you should do, the likely outcome and any preparation you need to do beforehand. You will also get a fixed quote on the cost for you to be represented in Bourke Local Court on the day.
