Criminal Defence

Experienced Melbourne criminal defence lawyers for drink driving, drug driving, police investigations, bail and criminal charges. Former police experience. Clear advice and strong representation.

If police want to interview you, have charged you, or you expect a charge, the first questions are practical: what has happened, what could you lose, and what needs to be decided now. Criminal allegations and traffic charges in Melbourne and Victoria can affect your liberty, licence, employment, family arrangements and professional standing.

A criminal matter is not only a court date. It may involve a police interview, a traffic stop, a prosecution brief, bail conditions and a first appearance. Octagon Legal acts in general criminal defence and in traffic offences, including drink driving, drug driving, dangerous or careless driving and licence issues. The aim is that you understand the allegation, the evidence, the process and the options before those steps become harder to control.

We act for individuals, company directors, professionals and business owners responding to criminal charges, police investigations, drink and drug driving, other traffic offences and related court proceedings.

We examine the allegation, the evidence that has been disclosed or is likely to be relied upon, and the decisions that need to be made at interview, bail, mention or hearing. Aret Muradyan is the primary contact for traffic matters, drink and drug driving, and police investigation work. William Billings also acts in general criminal defence.

Contact Octagon Legal to discuss your circumstances, the available options and the appropriate next step. For traffic, drink or drug driving, or police investigation work, ask for Aret Muradyan.
