What Are The Fees For Domestic Violence Lawyers in Parramatta?
Legal costs depend on the charge, court, and the evidence complexity. Our fees are fixed for common legal court stages and clear staged pricing for defended or indictable matters. Payment plans can align with listing dates and milestones. Your free 30 minute consult confirms scope, inclusion, timelines, and likely next steps. Disbursements are explained upfront including subpoenas, expert reports, transcripts, interpreters, and filing fees.

Proven Results For Parramatta Domestic Violence Cases
Our Parramatta domestic violence team takes an evidence-led, time-efficient approach. We check that police have complied with the Crimes (Domestic and Personal Violence) Act 2007 (NSW), identify proof gaps, and, where appropriate, negotiate early for withdrawal, reductions, or fair agreed facts. If the matter is defended, we develop a clear case theory and prepare witnesses carefully. You receive frank advice about prospects, realistic goals, and a checklist for programs, references, and documents that can strengthen your position.
Thirteen DV Charges Dismissed After Contested Hearing
Our client faced 13 charges, including assault occasioning actual bodily harm, stalk or intimidate, property damage, and distributing an intimate image. We analysed the brief, prepared witnesses, and ran a three-day hearing. Focused cross examination exposed major inconsistencies in the complainant’s versions and reliability gaps across statements and recordings. The magistrate was not satisfied beyond reasonable doubt. All charges were dismissed. The client avoided a conviction and the serious employment and family impacts that follow DV findings.
AVO Adjusted To Restore Child Contact, No Conviction
Police filed an intimidation charge and sought an Apprehended Domestic Violence Order (ADVO) that also named the client’s one-year-old, blocking contact. An ADVO is a civil order setting rules about contact and behaviour. We gathered context and character material showing an isolated lapse. The court did not record a conviction. We negotiated to remove the child from the order so contact could lawfully resume. Final terms protected safety while addressing practical co-parenting needs.
Mental Health Diversion On Property Charge, Intimidation Withdrawn
Our client was charged with destroying or damaging property and stalking or intimidation. We negotiated for the intimidation charge to be withdrawn. We then advised a section 14 mental health application on the property charge. A section 14 outcome is a diversion where the court dismisses the charge and the person follows a treatment plan instead of receiving a conviction. With a psychologist report and a structured plan, the court granted the application. The matter was dismissed, preserving our client’s record while ensuring ongoing treatment and supervision.

Insights On Your Best Domestic Violence Lawyers In Parramatta
Domestic violence matters often involve both criminal allegations and an ADVO (apprehended domestic violence order). Penalties vary with charge, history, harm, and litigation. Options include fines, conditional release orders (CRO), community correction orders (CCO), intensive correction orders (ICO), and in serious cases, imprisonment. Courts can proceed without conviction on a conditional release order where preparation, insights, and community safety justify leniency. We explain how outcomes affect your records, employment, licences, and travel. Where an AVO (apprehended violence order) is involved, we propose workable conditions, safe communication protocols, and practical plans that prevent accidental breach. Our focus is proportionate results, reduced risks and next steps that protect your future.
