These are some of the legal matters we can help you with: 

 

  • Intervention orders
  • Criminal matters and driving offences
  • Victims of crime applications
  • Civil litigation, including debt recovery.

Intervention Order Lawyers

An intervention order can have serious implications, so it’s natural to feel uncertain about your next steps. It's crucial that you understand your rights and options moving forward because IVOs can have consequences you didn’t foresee. 

With C&E Legal, you’ll gain the knowledge and clarity you need during this challenging time. You’ll also receive the support you need to feel confident throughout the process. We work with you to navigate the legal process, protect your interests, and achieve a good outcome for your personal situation.

Criminal Law Matters

Criminal charges can have a long-term impact on your life. From the emotional strain of facing the charges to the risk of conviction and the consequences that could have on your life, the team at C&E Legal is here to guide and support you.

We defend clients facing a range of charges including assault, theft, drug offences, and breaches of intervention orders. We understand the complexities of these situations and we are solely focused on achieving a good outcome for you. You can trust us to provide clear legal advice and dedicated representation, empowering you to make informed decisions about your future.

Driving Offences Lawyer

Driving offences and licensing suspensions disrupt your life. They can affect everything from your participation in your family or social life to your employment, as well as your freedom.

We can work with you whether you're facing a speeding ticket, a DUI charge, or a more serious driving offense. Our team will guide you through the legal process, explore any available defenses, and work towards a good resolution for your matter.

Victims of Crime Applications For Assistance

In Victoria, it’s often possible for victims of violent crime to access compensation to help pay for medical expenses, lost income, and counselling to recover from the trauma. Given how expensive psychological care can be, this can offer much needed financial relief if you’re the victim of a violent crime.

At C&E Legal, we support victims of violent crime to apply for assistance to VOCAT. We will review your eligibility for VOCAT assistance, and help you present your situation to the Tribunal to maximise your compensation. Helpfully, your legal costs are often paid by the Tribunal if your application succeeds.

Personal & Business Dispute Lawyer

If you’re an individual or a small business owner with a legal dispute, it’s important to get legal help to protect your interests. At C&E Law, we're here to help you navigate the complexities of the legal system and find practical solutions.

We provide experienced and compassionate representation in a wide range of civil matters, including contract disputes, contract reviews, neighbour disputes, property disagreements, small business contracts, motor vehicle accidents, and debt recovery.

Our focus is on understanding your unique situation and finding a fair and just resolution. We'll advocate for your rights and interests, striving to minimize stress and disruption to your life.

Debt Recovery

Bad debts are an unfortunate cost of doing business. Whether you’re an individual dealing with an unpaid loan or a business struggling with outstanding invoices, recovering bad debts can seem like an uphill battle.

At C&E Legal, we're here to help you navigate the process of debt recovery to help you get the money you're owed. We understand the frustration and financial strain that bad debts can cause, and we're committed to finding practical and efficient solutions.
