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 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.
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.
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.
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 We negotiated for the intimidation charge to be withdrawn.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.
Your domestic violence matter is managed with clear milestones and plain-English updates. We identify the legal elements for each charge, preserve helpful evidence, and test police procedure early. Where suitable, we negotiate for withdrawal, downgrades, or fair agreed facts. If you plead guilty, we prepare sentencing material that shows insight, rehabilitation, and work or family commitments. If you contest the allegations, we prepare witnesses carefully and challenge unreliable evidence so the court hears only relevant, tested material. Throughout, we provide checklists for disclosure, references, and programs so preparation stays simple and focused.

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.
Outcomes vary widely, from non-conviction orders to imprisonment, depending on charge, injuries, priors, and context. Domestic violence lawyers Parramatta prepare treatment evidence, references, and safe-contact proposals aimed at balanced, proportionate results that address identified risks.
