We are very different

Typically, traditional law firms have expensive offices, layer upon layer of partners and associates, not to mention company cars and lots of long lunches. Guess who pays for all of that? Yes, you do—the client. At Repute Law, we think this approach is just plain wrong, so we take an entirely new approach. We truly value our clients, and we keep all our company expenditures as low as possible so that your money is spent on what it needs to be spent on—the best Senior Criminal Defence Lawyer and legal advice to get you the best outcome. If you have been charged with a stalking or intimidation offence, you know we will look after you in every way possible, both legally and financially.   

The serious impact of your charge

The maximum penalty for stalking or intimidation in the Local Court is two years imprisonment. This offence is sometimes dealt with according to Section 10 of the Crimes (Sentence Procedure) Act, meaning no criminal conviction is recorded. Contact a Senior Criminal Defence Lawyer at Repute Law to discuss your case today.

Unfortunately, the ramifications of a guilty verdict can affect you long after the Court delivers your sentence. You may struggle to keep your job or find new employment. 

The most effective way to lessen the burden of this challenging situation is to start your defence as soon as possible. Facing an investigation or charge is not something you should do alone. Seeking legal advice and representation at an early stage can significantly increase your prospects of a successful outcome.

Any charge of stalking or intimidation should be viewed as serious. It can lead to a criminal conviction and record, which can have severe consequences for your future. Contact a Senior Lawyer at Repute Law to find out how to best proceed with your case.

The maximum penalty for stalking in Australia is five years imprisonment and/or a fine of 50 penalty units. In the Local Court, the maximum penalty is two years imprisonment, though it is possible to get a non-conviction.

Intimidation is behaviour amounting to harassment or molestation or approaching a person by any means that causes that person to fear for their safety or any conduct that causes a reasonable apprehension of violence or injury to someone. This includes damage to a person’s property or harm to an animal that belongs or belonged to a person. The police must prove the accused set out to annoy, bother or harass another individual. For stalking charges, they must also establish a pattern of behaviour pointing to attempted harassment, either overtly or anonymously.

You should never plead guilty without first obtaining legal advice. There may be some issue with the police case, which means they could never have proved it. It may also be that whilst you accept guilt, you don’t accept how the police outlined the facts of the case (what actually happened).

How the police outline the case can impact heavily on your sentence, so this needs to be reviewed and negotiated carefully. In an appropriate case, your Senior Lawyer will advise you of the benefit of pleading guilty, including up to a significant 25 % discount on the penalty. You should contact the Repute Law team to discuss your case’s factors before pleading guilty.
