Wyndham Court Traffic Lawyer

Wyndham Court Traffic Lawyer – Werribee

If your driving matter is listed at Wyndham Law Courts in Werribee, Christopher Sheen provides direct representation as a lawyer and barrister who regularly appears at the Court. He brings 15 years’ Victoria Police experience and over a decade defending people charged with offences.

About Wyndham Law Courts in Werribee

Wyndham Law Courts is located at 17 Basalt Road, Werribee, beside Werribee Police Station. The Magistrates’ Court at the complex hears traffic and driving offences, criminal charges and family violence and personal safety intervention order applications.

The Court’s local catchment includes Hoppers Crossing, Manor Lakes, Point Cook, Tarneit, Werribee, Williams Landing and Wyndham Vale. Your charge sheet, summons or hearing notice will confirm whether your matter is listed at Wyndham Law Courts.

The new courts opened on 10 November 2025, replacing the former Werribee Magistrates’ Court, which permanently closed on 31 October 2025. The former courthouse had two courtrooms. The new Wyndham precinct is a substantially larger and more modern facility containing 13 courtrooms across its jurisdictions.

“Werribee Court” and “Wyndham Court” are therefore commonly used to describe matters from the same local area. Your current charge sheet, summons or hearing notice should identify Wyndham Law Courts as the venue.

Free parking is available onsite, although it remains sensible to arrive early and allow time to park, pass through security and meet Christopher before court.
