Cooktown Lawyers | Expert Solicitors

Do you need to appear in court in Cooktown soon? Don’t go alone.

Our Cooktown lawyers provide expert advice and strong representation in all Cooktown legal cases.

Advice Before Court

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

Court Lawyers

If you prefer, you can meet your lawyer at Cooktown Magistrates Court without the need for a conference beforehand. Some examples of when this will suit you are adjournments, simple pleas or when your case is listed for directions from the court (not a final hearing). And if you are not on bail, you may not even need to attend.

Cooktown Magistrates Court

The Cooktown Magistrates Court is at 172 Charlotte St, Cooktown and has the operating hours of 8:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday to Friday. The Courthouse is located on the waterfront, beside the police station and near the intersection of Charlotte and Hill Streets.

Cooktown is around 330 kilometres or 4 hours drive north of Cairns along the Mulligan Highway. It is set on Cape York Peninsula amongst World Heritage-listed rainforest, at the mouth of the Endeavour River, the perfect place for a crocodile encounter.

The town is steeped in history, having provided safe-haven to its namesake, Captain James Cook when his ship, the Endeavour, sustained damage after striking a reef. Home to around 2000 people, it is a popular tourist destination, not only because of its many historical landmarks, but also because of the recreational and adventure activities on offer.
