Going to court in Wonthaggi soon? Don’t go alone…

Advice Before Court

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

Court Lawyers

If you prefer, you can meet your lawyer at Wonthaggi 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.
