At EAS Legal, we recently represented a client before the Maitland Local Court who was facing:
These were serious allegations that carried significant consequences for our client, including the risk of a criminal record, restrictions on their personal freedoms, and the stress and uncertainty of contested court proceedings.
The matter had progressed all the way to a defended hearing, with both parties prepared to proceed before the Court.
Our Approach
From the outset, our office undertook a detailed review of the prosecution case and prepared the matter thoroughly for hearing.
We identified significant issues with the prosecution evidence and the ability of the prosecution to ultimately prove the allegations beyond a reasonable doubt.
As the hearing approached, we continued to engage with the prosecution, highlighting:
Our preparation ensured that we were ready to vigorously defend the matter if required.
The Outcome
As a result of our preparation and advocacy, the matter was resolved on the day of the defended hearing.
This was an outstanding outcome for our client, who was able to avoid the uncertainty and consequences associated with a contested hearing.
Why This Result Matters
Matters that proceed to a defended hearing are often complex, time-consuming, and carry substantial risk.
Having all charges and the AVO withdrawn on the day of hearing demonstrates the importance of:
Often, the strongest results are achieved before a witness is ever called.

If you have been charged with Stalk/Intimidate offences or are responding to an AVO, obtaining experienced legal representation early can make a significant difference to the outcome of your case.
