Top Domestic Violence Lawyers Sydney

Our New South Wales Criminal Law team includes solicitors who are experienced in representing clients who have been charged with domestic violence offences including a wide range of conduct such as contravening ADVOs, common assault, stalk/intimidate, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, use carriage service to harass, stalk or intimidate, and other domestic violence-based offending. Because of the nature of these offences, there is often a lot at stake for people.

A client’s career, ability to hold a working with children check, status in Australia, access to their children and freedom may be in jeopardy. Apprehended Domestic Violence Orders (ADVOs) can also have serious consequences in future family law proceedings in addition to consequences surrounding employment and access to firearms.

Urgent Legal Advice From Sydney Domestic Violence Lawyers

It is critical that any person who faces allegations or criminal charges ensures they have the best legal team on their side from the outset. Where a person is charged, it’s important to have a lawyer advising them on decisions about whether or not to participate in police interviews or forensic procedures, the making of a bail application and throughout the criminal matter. This is important whether the person plans on defending the matter, or admitting guilt.

When a person faces criminal charges, your choice in legal representation is an important one. At Armstrong Legal, we have Sydney domestic violence lawyers on hand to provide urgent advice in relation to dealing with police, police investigative techniques, arrest warrants, bail applications, participating in or declining to participate in an electronically recorded interview and the charging process.

The police brief of evidence in these types of matters usually includes a Domestic Violence Evidence in Chief (DVEC) recording which is essentially the complainant’s initial version of events. Police statements, witness statements, body-worn footage, will also form part of the brief of evidence in most domestic violence-related matters. Sometimes tendency and coincidence evidence is relied upon if there have been proven prior instances of domestic violence. Additionally, sometimes phone recordings, screenshots of digital communication, and photographs of property are also relied upon.
