Proven Results, Clear Processes, And Strategic ADVO Approach In Sydney

AVO Dismissed After Contested Hearing

Client faced stalking and intimidation plus property damage charges, with an AVO application. After reviewing the brief, our lawyer found major evidentiary flaws and negotiated early, leading police to withdraw the stalking charge. Mental health issues were identified, and a psychologist report supported a section 14 diversion application. Client pleaded guilty to property damage, but the court accepted diversion, dismissed the charge, recorded no conviction, and set a treatment plan.

Intimidation Withdrawn, Mental Health Diversion On Property Charge

Our client faced property damage and intimidation. We negotiated to withdraw the intimidation. With a psychologist’s report, we ran a section 14 mental health application on the property charge. Section 14 allows dismissal if treatment is followed instead of recording a conviction. The court granted it. The record was protected and care continued.

ADVO Varied To Allow Communication About Children

Client faced stalking and intimidation allegations after a phone call with his former partner, alongside an ADVO that wrongly included his one-year-old daughter and stopped shared care. We uncovered provocation: the complainant mocked his terminally ill partner, triggering an isolated, inappropriate outburst. We promptly filed strong mitigation with apology, character references, and evidence of parenting. The Magistrate recorded no conviction, and we secured removal of the child from the ADVO.

Education On ADVO Case Proceedings In Sydney

An ADVO is a civil order with protective conditions often running alongside criminal allegations. The order itself is not a criminal conviction, but breaching an ADVO is a criminal offence that can carry significant penalties. Courts focus on safety, practicality, and clarity. Outcomes range from dismissal to final orders with tailored terms for a defined period. Where a linked charge is sentenced, options include fines, conditional release orders (CRO), community correction orders (CCO), intensive correction orders (ICO), and in serious cases or repeated cases, imprisonment. Our aim is proportionate workable results, that protect safety, reduce risks and support stable routines at home and at work.
