Awards & Recognitions
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. Where hardship exists, we assess reduced fees or limited pro bono assistance subject to capacity. You receive a written estimate and a milestones calendar to make sure budgeting stays predictable while you focus on preparation, compliance, and achieving the best possible outcome.
Our Parramatta criminal defence team handles assault charges in a structured, evidence-led way. We review police procedure and body-worn video, map the elements of common assault and assault occasioning actual bodily harm under the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW), and flag proof gaps early. Where suitable, we seek withdrawal, charge reductions, or fair agreed facts through focused negotiations. If the matter is defended, we build a clear self-defence or identification theory, brief experts where appropriate, and prepare witnesses thoroughly. You receive honest advice about prospects, realistic goals, and a checklist for programs, references, and documents that strengthen your position and minimise delay.
Our client maintained not guilty pleas to DV assault charges. In cross examination, we highlighted inconsistencies across the DVEC, 000 call, and courtroom evidence, and suggested a lawful alternative explanation consistent with the objective proof. The magistrate was not satisfied beyond reasonable doubt. Both counts were dismissed. The client’s reputation and employment were safeguarded.
Following a venue incident, the complainant had serious facial fractures requiring surgery. We combined CCTV with witness accounts to build a precise timeline, then exposed contradictions. We raised self defence, meaning the accused used reasonable force to protect themselves. The prosecution could not disprove the defence beyond reasonable doubt. The court returned not guilty findings. The client kept a clear record and moved on with work unaffected.
Our client was charged with assault after a confrontation in a shopping centre carpark. The prosecution relied on brief eyewitness accounts and limited CCTV. We identified inconsistencies in the complainant’s version and evidence showing our client was first approached and threatened. At hearing, we argued the response was proportionate and lawful self-defence. The court accepted this position and dismissed the charge, leaving the client without a conviction.

Assault allegations range from common assault to assault occasioning actual bodily harm (AOABH) and, in more serious cases, indictable offences that can be dealt with in the District Court. Penalties depend on the specific charge, your history, the level of harm, and any mitigation. Sentencing options include fines, a Conditional Release Order (CRO), a Community Correction Order (CCO), an Intensive Correction Order (ICO), and in the most serious matters, full-time imprisonment under the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 (NSW). In appropriate cases, the court can deal with you without recording a conviction by imposing a CRO. We explain how each option may affect your criminal record, employment, licences, and travel. Where an Apprehended Domestic Violence Order (ADVO) is involved, we suggest workable conditions, safe communication protocols, and practical routines that reduce the risk of an accidental breach. Our focus is on proportionate results, reduced risk, and clear next steps that protect your future.
