McNally & Gleeson Lawyers provide criminal lawyer appearances in all Victorian Courts.
Appearing in every Victorian criminal jurisdiction
Criminal matters in Victoria move between courts as they progress, and your lawyer needs to be at home in all of them. The Magistrates’ Court of Victoria hears the great majority of criminal matters, from bail applications and contested hearings to committal proceedings, at venues across Melbourne and regional Victoria. The County Court of Victoria hears serious indictable charges and appeals from the Magistrates’ Court, while the Supreme Court of Victoria deals with the most serious offences and bail applications in the highest-risk categories. The Court of Appeal hears appeals against conviction and sentence from the County and Supreme Courts.
Young people are dealt with separately in the Children’s Court of Victoria, which has its own procedures and a rehabilitative focus. We also appear in specialist lists, including the Drug Court, the Assessment and Referral Court (ARC) and the Koori Court, where eligibility can make a real difference to outcomes.
Wherever your matter is listed, including suburban and regional venues, our criminal defence lawyers appear there regularly. If you have a court date coming up, contact us on (03) 9670 3633 before you attend.
