Criminal Lawyers for Burwood
Criminal, traffic and AVO advice for clients in Burwood, from our Ashfield office — including matters listed at Burwood Local Court.
If you have been charged, contacted by police, had your licence suspended, or served with an apprehended violence order, you do not need a lawyer whose office is in the same suburb as the court. You need advice about the charge or application, and representation at the court where the matter is actually listed.
Monardo Legal’s only office is Unit 1 / 534 Parramatta Road, Ashfield NSW 2131, a short trip from Burwood along Parramatta Road or by train. Burwood is an area we serve, not a separate office. Appointments can also be held by phone or video. This page is general information, not legal advice about your particular matter.
Burwood Local Court
Many criminal, traffic and AVO matters arising in this part of Sydney’s Inner West are listed at Burwood Local Court. The court location is shown on the Court Attendance Notice, AVO application or bail paperwork. Some matters are listed at the Downing Centre or at another NSW court instead, including if a charge is committed to the District Court.
We appear for clients in the Local Court and District Court of New South Wales, including at Burwood Local Court and the Downing Centre when a matter is listed there. Tell us the court and the next date when you call on (02) 8006 5244.
