Industrial Magistrates Court of Western Australia
111 Saint Georges Terrace, Perth
This location is provided for general context only. Criminal matters are typically handled in the Magistrate's Court or District Court depending on the seriousness of the charges. A lawyer can advise whether court involvement is required and which court or tribunal applies to your situation.
Basic legal advice or document review for minor offences generally needs fewer hours and falls at the lower end of costs. Matters involving negotiations with prosecutors or preparing defences for moderate charges require more time and sit in the mid-range. Complex cases involving serious charges, extensive court appearances, or jury trials demand considerable preparation and research, resulting in substantially higher total fees due to the hours involved.
Actual fees vary depending on the lawyer and the circumstances of the matter.
