Are You Charged With Affray

We specialise in Criminal and Traffic law

Use our experience and rely upon our reputation

Affray was originally a common law offence. In recent years Parliament introduced it to the Criminal Law Consolidation Act 1935 (CLCA). In part it was introduced to fill a gap between the less serious offence of Disorderly behaviour and to prosecute when no victim of an assault would co-operate. It was aimed at bikie violence but like many other sections has been used more widely.

A person guilty of Affray is liable to imprisonment of 3 years for a basic offence and 5 years for an aggravated offence.

Affray is committed if a person intentionally uses or threatens unlawful violence toward another and the conduct is such that it would cause a person of reasonable firmness present at the scene to fear for their safety.

No reasonable person has to be present at the scene and if two or more offenders are present then their conduct is taken together.

They are reliable, honest and operate with integrity. I recommend them to anyone who is looking for some great legal advocacy and support. Ben always takes the time to answer any questions I may have, and provides me with all the options available. As a new with a legal matter, it can be difficult to find a suitable lawyer. I was lucky to be connected to Ben. On another note, their charges were also very reasonable to the services they provided.

I highly recommend Woods&Co Lawyers. I got into big trouble for the first time and of course was scared out of my mind. MICHAEL WOODS AND HUGH WOODS and the rest of the team eased my mind about the whole process. Definitely great customer service and professionalism. I am also very happy with the deal I got. If I ever (which I hope I don’t) get into any other trouble, WOODS&CO Lawyers is the one I will call on. Thank you so much for everything!
