Case Study

Our client was charged with contravening a Family Violence Intervention Order where they were the respondent, and their ex-partner and child were the protected persons. We negotiated with the police to reduce the charges to one breach. Ordinarily, for breach proceedings, a diversion is not available to those accused. Despite this, we got our client a diversion for this kind of charge. A diversion is a great result for this client as this kind of sentence means they do not receive a criminal record.
