Frequently Asked Questions

I have received a Future Court Attendance Notice (CAN). What should I do?

If you are issued a Court Attendance Notice, you must attend the specified local court on the date listed to face the charges brought against you by the police. Failing to seek immediate legal advice can result in severe penalties or recorded convictions. The criminal defence lawyers at Marando Solicitors regularly represent clients at the Fairfield, Liverpool, and surrounding local courts, carefully building strategies for assault, theft, fraud, and domestic violence matters to achieve the best possible result.

Can a lawyer help me keep my driver's licence after a drink driving or speeding offence?

Yes, an experienced traffic lawyer can significantly improve your chances of minimizing a licence disqualification period or avoiding a criminal record. Depending on your previous driving record and personal circumstances, Marando Solicitors can plead your case to the Magistrate to seek a Conditional Release Order (CRO) without a conviction. We present strong mitigation to the court, demonstrating your reliance on your licence for work or family commitments in Western Sydney to protect your mobility.

What is an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO), and what happens if it is breached?

An AVO is a court order designed to protect a person from future violence, threats, or harassment by restricting the behavior of another individual. While an AVO is a civil order and does not give you a criminal record, breaching any condition of an AVO is a serious criminal offence that carries a maximum penalty of two years imprisonment. Marando Solicitors represents individuals both applying for and defending against AVOs at Fairfield Court, protecting your reputation and freedom.

Am I legally required to participate in a police interview?

In almost all circumstances in NSW, you have the right to remain silent, and it is rarely in your best legal interests to participate in a recorded interview without legal representation. You are only required to provide your name, address, and identity details. If you are contacted by the police to attend a station in Western Sydney, contact Marando Solicitors immediately. We will join you at the station or advise you on how to handle police questioning without inadvertently damaging your defence.

What elements does a court consider when deciding an urgent Bail Application?

Under the Bail Act 2013 (NSW), a court determines bail based on whether the offence is subject to a "show cause" requirement, and whether the accused presents an "unacceptable risk" of failing to appear in court, committing further serious offences, or interfering with victims and witnesses. Marando Solicitors acts swiftly to compile robust bail conditions, including cash sureties, strict curfews, passport surrender, and daily reporting to local police stations to secure your family member's immediate release.

What is a Written Notice of Pleading, and when can I use it?

For minor traffic and summary offences, you may be permitted to submit a Written Notice of Pleading to the court rather than attending in person, indicating whether you plead guilty or not guilty. However, submitting this incorrectly or without compelling written mitigation can result in severe fines or immediate license suspensions. Marando Solicitors reviews your notice, drafts professional written submissions, and can still appear in court on your behalf to secure a lenient penalty.
