Our Criminal Law Services
Common assault charges
If you have been charged with common assault, it is important to get clear advice early. These matters can arise in a wide range of situations and can carry serious consequences, including a criminal record. We provide practical guidance on your options and the best way to approach your matter from the outset.
Assault occasioning actual bodily harm (AOABH)
AOABH is a more serious assault offence involving allegations of injury and requires a careful, strategic approach. We assist clients by analysing the evidence, advising on options and preparing the matter properly if it proceeds to hearing.
ADVO (Apprehended Domestic Violence Order) matters
ADVO matters can have immediate and significant impacts on your day-to-day life, including contact, living arrangements and parenting issues. We provide clear advice on how to respond, negotiate or defend an ADVO application, with a focus on practical and workable outcomes.
Domestic violence-related allegations
We assist clients facing allegations arising from domestic incidents, including matters involving both criminal charges and ADVO applications. These situations are often complex and can have immediate consequences for living arrangements, contact and family law proceedings. We provide clear advice on how to manage both the criminal and ADVO aspects, with a focus on practical outcomes and minimising unnecessary impact.
Advice before first court appearance
Getting legal advice before your first court date can significantly affect how your matter progresses. We review the allegations, explain the court process, and advise on your options so you can approach your first appearance with clarity and confidence. Early advice can also assist in identifying opportunities to resolve matters or better prepare your position from the outset.
Defended hearings and sentencing
Where a matter proceeds to a defended hearing or sentencing, careful preparation is essential. We assist with preparing evidence, developing a clear strategy and ensuring your case is presented effectively in court. If a plea is entered, we focus on presenting your circumstances in the strongest possible way to achieve a fair and appropriate outcome.
