Advice Before Court

We recommend booking a 1 hour conference with your Charters Towers 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 Charters Towers Magistrates Court on the day.
