Our Legal Expertise Has Directly Led to Clients’ Success

Reviewer initial M
Magdalena L.

For a woman, it is very difficult to deal with harassment, stalking and intimidation. Last year, I have applied for APVO against my neighbour.

Although I had CCTV footages and other evidence, to actually go through the whole court process is stressful, especially because I decided to represent myself in the court. Once I stepped into the legal process the realization hit me that having evidence may not be enough to win and protect myself from the defendant. When you represent yourself, the defendant’s solicitor sees that as an easy winning for his client and uses intimidation tactics.

I have contacted several solicitors but was put off by their emotionlessness approach. I contacted Jonathan Jaramillo from James and Jaramillo Lawyers who offered free first consultation. Comprehensive information offered by Jonathan was very impressive. He listened attentively and took time to answer my questions. He did not tell me what I wanted to hear, but what I needed to hear. I decided to represent myself and asked Jonathan if he would guide me and advise me throughout the process. This would be more cost-effective for me. Regardless of the size of the case, Jonathan was from the beginning to the end extremely professional, prompt and kind. He explained everything clearly making me feel confident with the legal process.

I have managed to get Interim Order in the early stage of the process-mention, which was protecting me till the final hearing in March 2024 when I won the case. This outcome could not have been achieved without working with Jonathan and his professional guidance. I can’t speak highly enough about Jonathan Jaramillo and recommend him for anyone who is looking for a good, responsive and reliable solicitor, and a genuine person.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Hire a Criminal Lawyer?

To ensure your rights are fully protected and to maximise your chances of a successful outcome, it is crucial to hire experienced criminal defence lawyers who specialise in Sydney criminal law. Our team includes Sydney criminal law specialists who are adept at handling criminal appeal matters, ensuring that every possible legal avenue is explored to defend your case. With their extensive knowledge and experience, our criminal lawyers work tirelessly to craft a defence strategy tailored to your unique situation, aiming for the best possible resolution.

What Happens After I’m Charged & Arrested?

After being charged and arrested, you’ll be taken to the police station, where the authorities must follow specific regulations during the arrest, including having reasonable grounds for the arrest and informing you of your rights. A decision on police bail follows, either granting release with or without conditions or keeping you in custody until a court hears your bail application. If refused, your holding location varies, possibly leading to a detention centre like the Metropolitan Remand and Reception Centre at Silverwater. Calling us immediately can significantly influence the outcome of your case, including the decision on your bail application – (02) 8378 8585

What Are My Rights During The Legal Process?

Your rights during the legal process encompass various aspects of interactions with the police. The police must have reasonable grounds to request your identity or arrest you and clearly state the reason for the arrest. You generally have the right to silence, though there are exceptions. In certain circumstances, a particular caution can be applied. Police can search you under specific conditions, such as if you’re under arrest or if they have a warrant.

They may also seize your property if it’s believed to be connected to a crime. Police can enter your house with a warrant, in an emergency, or with your permission, and they may give you a “move along” direction in public places. If you feel the police acted outside their powers, you can complain or take legal action. It’s advisable to consult with our team if you have concerns about your civil rights or believe they have been violated.

What Language Services Do You Offer?

Our legal firm understands the importance of clear communication and strives to cater to diverse language needs.
