Criminal Lawyers Waverly

Waverly is a small suburb in New South Wales, located about 7km east of the Sydney central business district. The suburb was named by Barnett Levey, who built the first house in the district and is said to have been a fan of the book Waverly by Sir Walter Scott. 

It is home to fewer than 5,000 residents and is primarily a residential area, albeit with a few commercial developments. It is also home to the Waverly Local Court, one of the many courts served by the expert Sydney traffic lawyers and criminal lawyers at Lyons Law.

FAQs

Do I need a lawyer for a criminal or traffic case at Waverly Local Court?

A lawyer is not a legal requirement, but it’s highly recommended. They are experienced and knowledgeable; they know what to expect and can do what it takes to get the desired outcome. You can represent yourself if you choose, but when you’re just one phone call away from a highly-skilled lawyer in Waverly, why would you want to? 

How much does it cost to hire a criminal/traffic lawyer for a case at Waverly Local Court?

Prices vary based on the lawyer and case. At Lyons Law, we offer a completely transparent pricing structure that ensures you’re not hit with hidden costs. It means you don’t need to worry about your finances on top of your charges.

We offer hourly and fixed pricing options and will discuss the best option for you based on your needs and your case. What’s more, the initial 15-minute consultation is 100% free and you’re under no obligation to hire.

What should I expect during a court appearance at Waverly Local Court?

The NSW Court website contains information about dress code, court etiquette, and more, covering everything you need to know about your first court appearance.

Some of the key takeaways include:

  • You should dress appropriately but don’t need to wear a suit and tie. Just make sure you look neat, clean, and tidy. So, smart-casual is fine, but paint-stained clothing and obscene graphic tees are not.
  • Turn off your phone in the courtroom and don’t take any pictures.
  • Don’t take any weaponry to the court. You may be checked by court security before you enter.

How can I contact Waverly Local Court?

You can send the Local Court an email at local-court-waverley@justice.nsw.gov.au or contact them over the phone at 1300 679 272. The court can also be reached via fax at 02 9369 9812.

When will my case be heard at Waverly Local Court?

The magistrate or judge usually decides the order that the cases will be seen. Your lawyer can deal with this part of the process and let you know when you are needed. If you are representing yourself, just present yourself to the court officer and they will let the judicial officer know you’re there. The court office will then call for the case when ready.
