Questions
Do I have to speak to police during an investigation?
You have the right to silence. Consult our lawyers before making statements as responses often assist police investigations against you.
What are the consequences of an AVO breach?
Breaching an AVO carries penalties up to $5,500 fine and/or 2 years imprisonment, with mandatory imprisonment consideration for violent breaches.
Can I appeal a Local Court sentencing decision?
Yes, you have 28 days to appeal to the District Court, or up to 3 months with judicial permission.
How do I create a valid will in NSW?
Your will requires executor designation, beneficiary allocations, and two adult witnesses who aren't beneficiaries. We guide you through asset distribution and guardianship arrangements.
What defences exist for drug possession charges?
Defences include lack of knowledge, non-exclusive possession, and procedural errors. We challenge evidence admissibility and police conduct during investigations.
