Charged with a Criminal or Traffic Offence in Victoria?
A criminal charge can change everything. Your freedom, your licence, your record, your reputation, and your future are all at stake. The legal process moves quickly, and what happens in the first days after a charge is often what determines the outcome.
Most people facing a criminal or traffic charge in Melbourne have never dealt with the court system before. They do not know what to do next, who to call, or how serious the situation actually is. And too often, they are left without clear answers at the moment they need them most.
That is where Anaki Lawyers comes in. You get direct access to your lawyer from the first call, a response within three hours, and straight advice on your options before the matter progresses any further.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I have been charged with a criminal or traffic offence in Victoria?
Speak with a criminal or traffic lawyer as soon as possible. Early legal advice allows your lawyer to assess the charge, review police evidence, and advise you on your options before the matter progresses through the Victorian court system.
Do I need a lawyer if I plan to plead guilty?
Yes. Even if you intend to plead guilty, a lawyer can significantly affect the outcome. Proper preparation can reduce penalties, support non-conviction outcomes, and in traffic matters, help minimise licence suspension or disqualification.
Can criminal or traffic charges be withdrawn or dismissed?
Yes. If the prosecution cannot prove the offence beyond reasonable doubt, or if evidence was obtained unlawfully or is unreliable, charges may be withdrawn or dismissed. This applies to both criminal and traffic law matters in Victoria.
Will a criminal offence result in a criminal record?
Not always. Whether a conviction is recorded depends on the offence, your prior history, and the court's discretion. Legal advice before your court date gives you the best chance of minimising long-term consequences.
How quickly can I speak with Aabed?
You speak directly with a lawyer from your first call. All enquiries are responded to within three hours, with same-day advice wherever possible. Urgent matters including bail, arrests, and intervention orders are handled 24/7.
Which courts do you appear in?
Anaki Lawyers appears regularly across all Victorian courts, including the Magistrates Court, County Court, and Supreme Court, as well as metropolitan and regional Melbourne courts such as Broadmeadows, Dandenong, Ringwood, Frankston, and Moorabbin.
What are your fees?
Fees depend on the type of charge, the court, and the complexity of the matter. A clear cost agreement is provided before any work begins. Payment plans and Legal Aid are available.
