What Are The Payment Plans And Pro Bono Options For ADVO Lawyers in Sydney?
Legal costs depend on the issues in dispute, the court, and how complex the evidence is. We use fixed fees for common Local Court stages and clear staged pricing for defended hearings or linked criminal matters. Payment plans can follow listing dates and other key milestones. Your free 30-minute consultation confirms the scope of work, what is included, realistic timelines, and likely next steps. We explain disbursements upfront, including subpoenas, transcripts, interpreters, program letters, counselling reports, and filing fees. Where there is hardship, we consider reduced fees or limited pro bono assistance, subject to capacity. You receive a written estimate and a milestones calendar so budgeting stays predictable while you focus on preparation, compliance, and the best achievable outcome.
Proven Results, Clear Processes, And Strategic ADVO Approach In Sydney
Our ADVO work is evidence-led and practical. We review police procedure and statements, identify proof gaps or over-broad conditions, and negotiate early where it is sensible. If the matter is defended, we settle a focused case theory and prepare witnesses carefully so the court hears clear, relevant evidence. Throughout the process, you receive candid advice on prospects, realistic goals, and a simple checklist for programs, references, and documents that can improve your position.
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Intimidation Withdrawn, Mental Health Diversion On Property Charge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.
