Doogue + George

Doogue + George is a criminal defence practice with offices across Melbourne and key Victorian court locations as well as Sydney, acting from police investigations through to serious criminal proceedings.

Its specialist model means matters are organised around criminal procedure from the earliest police contact, bail and evidence assessment through negotiations, pleas, contested hearings and trials.

Criminal defence work spans investigation, charges, bail, plea decisions, contested hearings and advocacy, beginning with an early assessment of the evidence, procedure, immediate risks and available response.

Its traffic law practice covers driving offences, licence consequences and related criminal procedures, requiring a careful review of the allegation, evidence, personal circumstances and statutory consequences.

Litigation work moves from evidence gathering and strategic assessment through correspondence, mediation, interlocutory steps and court proceedings, continually weighing cost, timing, relationships and enforcement risk.

Legal advice begins with the client’s facts and objectives, turning applicable rules, evidence, risks and available actions into a clear explanation of what can be done next and what each option may involve.
