We Can Help
If you’ve been charged with breaching an order, it’s important to act quickly and seek legal advice. At MK Law, we specialise in criminal law and can assist you with charges related to breaching community orders or intervention orders.
What is a Breach of an Order?
A breach of an order occurs when a person fails to comply with the terms set out by a court.
Common breaches include:
Not adhering to conditions such as attending community service or mandatory appointments.
Contacting or approaching a person or place that you are legally prohibited from interacting with.
These are serious offences, as they relate to not following court orders, and can result in significant legal consequences.
The sooner you get legal advice, the better your chances of presenting a strong case.
How We Can Help You?
When you come to us, we’ll assess your situation and help you determine whether you should plead guilty or not guilty to the breaching charges.
- If You Plead Guilty:
We’ll put the breach in context and explain the circumstances to the court.
- What were the circumstances that led to the breach? Life can change unexpectedly, and those changes may affect your ability to comply with the order. These changes could involve personal struggles, health issues, or employment difficulties.
- What positive steps have you taken since the breach? Showing the court that you’ve made efforts to address the issue is essential. This can include attending counselling, undergoing rehabilitation, or even taking steps to find work or engage in community activities. Such positive actions can help reduce the severity of the consequences.
- If You Plead Not Guilty:
We will carefully examine the evidence against you, review the circumstances of the alleged breach, and build a strong defence on your behalf.
We’ll guide you through the legal process and work to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
Why Legal Advice is Crucial:
Breaching an order is not something to take lightly. Courts treat these matters seriously, and the penalties can range from fines to imprisonment. With our experienced criminal lawyers on your side, we’ll help navigate the complexities of your case and ensure your side of the story is heard.
