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.

Stealing charges typically involve the physical act of taking someone else’s property without permission. In contrast, fraud charges refer to intentional deception or misrepresentation for personal gain. Stealing leaders focus on the act of physically obtaining someone’s property. In contrast, fraud charges focus on using deceitful tactics to gain something of value.
The penalties for fraud and stealing offences can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the case’s circumstances. Generally, stealing charges can result in penalties such as fines, probation, community service, or imprisonment. Fraud charges can lead to similar penalties but may involve restitution payments and additional fines. The severity of the penalties often depends on the value of the stolen property or the amount of financial loss caused by the fraud.
It is possible to be charged with stealing and fraud for the same incident if the circumstances warrant it. For example, if someone physically steals property and then uses fraudulent means to profit from it or deceive others, they could face charges for both offences. However, each case is unique, and the specific charges will depend on the facts and evidence presented by the prosecution.
