In Sydney, assault charges are typically handled in the Local Court for summary offences, and more serious indictable offences may escalate to the District Court or even the Supreme Court. The team at JBP Law is well-versed in navigating all levels of the court system, ensuring you receive robust representation no matter the severity of the charge.

The likelihood of jail time depends on the specifics of the assault charge—its severity and circumstances. At JBP Law, our goal is to minimise this possibility through proactive and strategic legal defence, seeking alternatives like fines, community orders, or acquittal wherever possible.

Common assault charges in Sydney range from Simple Assault, often involving minor harm or threats, to more severe charges like Aggravated Assault, where a weapon is used or serious injury occurs. Our team specialises in all types of assault cases, providing tailored advice and defence strategies.

Penalties can vary from fines and community service to imprisonment for more severe offences. Our lawyers at JBP Law focus on reducing the impact of these penalties, advocating for the most favourable outcomes such as reduced charges or alternative sentencing.

Evidence may include witness testimonies, medical reports, CCTV footage, and other physical evidence. Our experienced assault lawyers meticulously analyse all evidence, often challenging its validity or interpretation to strengthen your defence.

An experienced assault lawyer can challenge the evidence, negotiate with prosecutors, and leverage legal defences such as self-defence or mistaken identity. At JBP Law, we are proactive in identifying weaknesses in the prosecution’s case to strive for dismissal or reduction of charges.

In New South Wales, there is generally a 6-month limit for summary offences but no time limit for more serious indictable offences. If you believe you have been assaulted, it’s crucial to seek legal advice promptly to ensure your rights are protected and actions are taken within legal time frames.
