As a specialist criminal law firm, MK Law prides itself on its focused expertise and the reputation of its specialist criminal lawyers, who are dedicated to defending clients.

With our firm's depth of knowledge and experience in matters of legal rights governed by the law institute, MK Law can provide more than just initial consultations; we can provide expert legal representation in all criminal cases, ensuring that you, as a client, and your rights are legally protected at all times.

MK Law provides legal representation in sexual offence cases, which are rather sensitive in nature, as they’re often surrounded by societal judgement and prejudice. When you’re accused of sexual offences, you need a reliable criminal defence lawyer with a strong defensive strategy for your particular case.
The laws and legal procedures for sexual offences are quite complicated and somewhat different from the laws and regulations governing other aspects of the Victorian legal system. Many sexual offences in Melbourne carry with it other consequences for a finding of guilt including but not limited to being placed on the Sex Offender Register. This may have severe consequences for employment and international travel.
That’s why you need an experienced criminal lawyer if you have been accused of a sex offence crime. Hiring and consulting experienced sexual offence lawyers is the only way to ensure the best possible outcome.
Melbourne's criminal justice system takes drug offences, especially those related to drug trafficking and distribution, very seriously. The consequences of facing these charges without adequate legal counsel can be severe, which is why it's essential to have an experienced lawyer who understands both criminal procedure rules and the rules of evidence.
Drunk driving, colloquially known as DUI, often results in severe consequences for your driver's license. In most cases, a first-time conviction for DUI nearly always results in a loss of your driver's licence in Victoria.
If your drink driving matter contains a rather unusual fact pattern, it is worth discussing with us. Most of our representation for clients in court involves mandatory Court appearances for mid- to high-range drink driving, or for clients who have a subsequent charge of drink driving within a 10-year period.
Beyond DUI charges, there are more than a dozen other charges our clients could potentially face, from driving without a license, improper use of a motor vehicle, and refusal-to-stop charges to speeding. These minor charges might seem minor, but they can have long-lasting consequences on your driving record and insurance premiums.
It's essential to have a skilled criminal lawyer who handles traffic charges, regardless of how minor the driving offence may seem. We understand the importance of maintaining a clean record, and our legal team will represent you with diligence, ensuring that you receive fair treatment throughout the whole legal process.
Following the advent of the internet and wireless technologies, fraud cases have become increasingly complex. Whether we're discussing credit card fraud, identity theft, or corporate embezzlement, allegations of fraud have the potential to tarnish your reputation and incur severe legal penalties.
Navigating the court process can be daunting, especially for those unfamiliar with the legal system. Our criminal lawyers in Melbourne have extensive experience regularly appearing in court and are well-versed in the procedures of the Magistrates’ Court, County Court, Supreme Court, and High Court. We recognise the importance of providing clear, practical legal advice at every stage, ensuring our clients are fully prepared and confident as their case progresses.
From the initial bail applications to contested hearings and beyond, our lawyers are committed to delivering professional and effective legal representation tailored to your unique circumstances. Whether your matter proceeds in the lower courts or escalates to higher jurisdictions, you can rely on our team to advocate for your best interests and guide you through the complexities of the legal system with expertise and care.
The role of a criminal defence lawyer is often misunderstood in our community. Often, people believe that all lawyers do is try to get their clients off police charges. In reality, criminal lawyers are officers of the Supreme Court and have duties to the Court before they have duties to their clients. That being said, a criminal lawyer’s first role is to ensure that the police evidence is sufficient to achieve a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt according to the rules of evidence. If that is not the case, we will likely consult with the police to have your charges withdrawn. If that is unsuccessful, we will advise you to plead not guilty.
In the summary jurisdiction (Magistrates Court), if you are found not guilty after a contested hearing, the Commissioner of Police will be ordered to pay your legal fees. At MK Law, our team of expert criminal lawyers brings specialised knowledge and expertise to every case, understanding that every human being deserves the best possible defence.
At MK Law, we take our duties to the Courts and our clients very seriously. We are in the business of law and evidence, and there is no place in selling clients false hopes. We often represent clients who have come to us after receiving a harsh sentence, in circumstances where their former lawyer sold them false hopes of running a trial or contesting a hearing. This often leads to having to spend more money on fixing the legal mess after the fact, which could have been avoided with the best criminal defence lawyers at MK Law.
In a world where nearly all law firms are holding themselves out to be the best, MK Law stands out from the crowd. MK Law has been in operation since the early 2000s and is arguably one of the top 5 firms by reputation, specialising in traffic law matters.
We have thousands of positive reviews online from Google as well as other platforms. If you have found yourself in criminal law trouble, rest assured you’re in good hands with MK law. Don’t delay, call MK Law today!

Simply put, a crime is a wrong that harms the community as a whole. This includes minor offences, such as speeding and parking fines. The police are typically the agency that represents the State and the community in prosecuting criminal matters. Still, there may be other enforcement agencies for specific crimes, such as the council or the RSPCA. Civil wrongs are wrongs between two or more people or a class of people. Sometimes, a wrong can be both a criminal and a civil wrong. For example, assault is a criminal offence as well as a civil wrong (the tort of battery). Sometimes, a victim of assault, for example, may receive a restitution order for damages resulting from this offence. A person may also sue an accused for damages in the civil stream under the tort of battery.
