Magistrates court

There are a number of locations both within the metropolitan area and regional Western Australia where Magistrates Courts exist. This court mainly deals with matters that are either:

• Criminal – or
• Civil - non-offence based matters (e.g. extraordinary drivers licence applications, and restraining orders).

It is usually the court where most criminal proceedings commence. If you have been served a summons or have been released on bail to attend one of these courts, you should seek legal representation. At JD Hawkins we are skilled in helping clients not only understand what they are attending court for, but also to make sure they have access to services that will help them achieve the most favourable outcome possible.
