Case Studies For Penrith Domestic Violence Matters
Our domestic violence team takes an evidence-led approach. We check police procedure, identify proof gaps, preserve texts, call records, CCTV, medical material, and body-worn video, then decide whether to negotiate, defend, or prepare a strong plea
Thirteen Domestic Violence Charges: Not Guilty
The client faced 13 domestic violence-related charges, including assault occasioning actual bodily harm, stalking, intimidation, property damage and intimate image offences. The prosecution relied heavily on the complainant’s account. We reviewed the brief, prepared the matter for hearing and cross-examined the complainant over three days. Major inconsistencies emerged across the evidence. The magistrate rejected the complainant’s version and found the client not guilty of every charge.
Domestic Violence Assault: Not Guilty
The client was charged with common assault and assault occasioning actual bodily harm against her partner. Police relied on a DVEC statement, photos of scratches and a triple-zero call. Cross-examination exposed inconsistencies between the complainant’s versions, and he accepted the injuries may have come from work. The court was not satisfied beyond reasonable doubt, and both charges were dismissed.
Stalk/Intimidation: No Conviction And Parenting Restored
The client was charged with stalk/intimidation after a phone call with his former partner. The ADVO also restricted contact with his one-year-old child. We gathered character material and explained the emotional context of the incident. The court dealt with the matter without conviction, and we negotiated removal of the child from the order so parenting contact could resume without further court delay. safely.

What NSW Law Says About Domestic Violence And ADVOs
Domestic violence matters in NSW often involve both criminal charges and an Apprehended Domestic Violence Order. The Crimes (Domestic and Personal Violence) Act 2007 (NSW) deals with ADVOs, domestic relationships, domestic violence offences, stalking, intimidation, and order conditions. An AVO itself does not give a defendant a criminal record, but breaching an AVO may lead to criminal charges.
Penalties depend on the offence, harm alleged, criminal history, plea, evidence, and risk issues. Outcomes may include non-conviction orders, fines, community-based orders, intensive correction orders, or imprisonment in serious cases.
