Early legal advice can be particularly important when deciding how to plead and preparing your case.
Most criminal and traffic offences are dealt with in the Local Court, including drink driving, drug driving, assault, theft, AVO matters and many other offences. More serious indictable offences may proceed to the District Court or Supreme Court.
