Criminal Lawyers for Five Dock
Criminal, traffic and AVO advice for clients in Five Dock and nearby Canada Bay suburbs, from our Ashfield office.
You do not need a lawyer with a shopfront on Great North Road in order to get advice about a charge, a licence suspension or an apprehended violence order. Monardo Legal acts for clients in Five Dock, and in nearby suburbs such as Concord, from our only office at Unit 1 / 534 Parramatta Road, Ashfield NSW 2131. Five Dock is an area we serve, not a separate office.
The office is a short trip from Five Dock via Parramatta Road. Appointments can also be held by phone or video. This page is general information, not legal advice about your particular matter.
Court listings
Many criminal, traffic and AVO matters for people who live or work in Five Dock and Canada Bay are listed at Burwood Local Court. Some matters are listed at the Downing Centre or at another NSW court, including if a charge is committed to the District Court. Do not assume the court from the suburb alone — check the Court Attendance Notice, AVO application or bail paperwork, and tell us what it says when you call.
We appear 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.
How we can help
From Ashfield we can assist with:
- Criminal charges and advice before a police interview
- Drink and drug driving, including immediate licence suspensions that can affect work and family travel
- Traffic and licence matters and some suspension appeals
- Apprehended violence orders, including where a family home or parenting arrangements may be affected
- Bail applications
- Pleas, sentencing (including questions about section 10 and Conditional Release Orders) and defended hearings
If you have already spoken to another local firm, or you have a first mention at Burwood Local Court in the coming days, still bring every notice you have been given so the advice is based on the actual charge and listing.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Five Dock?
No. Our only office is in Ashfield. We act for Five Dock and Canada Bay clients from that office. Phone and video appointments are available.
Will my matter be at Burwood Local Court?
It often is, for matters arising in this part of Sydney, but not always. The court is shown on the Court Attendance Notice or application. Some matters go to the Downing Centre or another NSW court.
Can you help if I was charged after a roadside test in the Canada Bay area?
Yes. We advise on drink and drug driving and on the licence consequences, regardless of where the test took place, and we can appear at the court where the charge is listed. See drink and drug driving.
What if I already have a first court date?
Call us with the date, the court and the charge as it appears on the notice. Even a short appointment before the first mention can help you understand the plea, bail or adjournment questions that may arise that day.
When are you open?
Monday to Friday, 9:00 am–5:00 pm. Call (02) 8006 5244 or request a consultation.
