Expert Defence for Your Trespassing Charge

A trespassing charge in NSW can be confronting, carrying consequences that may affect your reputation, employment and future.

At Daoud Legal: Sydney Criminal Defence & Traffic Lawyers, we provide specialist legal advice and strategic defence for all trespass-related offences. From the very beginning, we work to challenge the evidence and pursue a withdrawal, downgrade or Section 10 non-conviction wherever possible.

We provide robust representation across the full spectrum of trespassing matters, including:

What Is “Trespassing” in NSW?

Trespassing occurs when someone enters or remains on private property without permission. This includes entering enclosed lands, staying after being asked to leave, or disregarding clear “private property – no trespassing” signs.

In NSW, trespassing may be treated as either a civil issue or a criminal offence. A criminal trespass charge can lead to fines and, in some cases, a conviction that affects employment, travel and your future.

Civil vs Criminal Trespass

Civil trespass usually involves disputes between private parties, such as entering a neighbour’s property or causing minor interference, and is typically resolved through compensation or injunctions.

Criminal trespass involves entering or remaining on enclosed or private property without permission and can result in charges, fines and a potential criminal record. We help you understand which category your situation falls into and the consequences you may face.

What Our Clients Say

How We Take Control of Your Trespassing Case

A trespassing allegation may seem minor, but the consequences can be serious. At Daoud Legal, we work quickly to understand what happened, challenge weak or unfair allegations, and protect you from a criminal record wherever possible.

1. Immediate Legal Support – As soon as you contact us, we assess your situation, explain the trespassing allegation and outline the likely penalties. Whether the incident involved private property, a workplace, a neighbour’s yard or enclosed lands, early advice can make a significant difference.

2. Evidence Review & Case Strategy – We examine all police material, CCTV, statements, bodycam footage and photos of signs or boundaries. We assess whether you had permission, were asked to leave, or whether the incident was a misunderstanding, then build a focused defence strategy.

3. Negotiation & Charge Review – Many trespassing charges can be withdrawn or reduced through early negotiation, especially where signage is unclear, evidence is weak or you had a legitimate reason to be there. We prepare targeted submissions to secure the best possible outcome.

4. Court Representation – If your case proceeds, our defence team prepares thoroughly and presents strong submissions to minimise penalties and, where possible, avoid a conviction.

5. Ongoing Support & Guidance – Trespassing matters can be stressful. We provide steady support, clear advice and consistent communication from start to finish.

FAQs

What are the penalties for trespassing in NSW?

Penalties vary depending on the property and circumstances. Fines can range from a few hundred dollars up to $5,500, and some matters can lead to a criminal conviction. At Daoud Legal, our lawyers work to minimise or avoid these consequences wherever possible.

Can I be charged even if there was no fence or gate?

Yes. A property may still be considered “enclosed” without a fence, especially if boundaries, structures or signage indicate private land.

What if I didn’t realise I was trespassing?

A genuine mistake or misunderstanding can be relevant to your defence, particularly where signage or boundaries were unclear. An experienced criminal lawyer can determine whether this argument will strengthen your case.

Can I be charged with trespassing during a separation or divorce?

Yes. Trespassing allegations commonly arise when former partners dispute access to the home, belongings or shared property. Even if you previously lived there, you may be considered a trespasser once access is restricted or withdrawn.

Can trespassing charges be withdrawn?

Yes. Charges may be withdrawn if the evidence is weak, permission was implied, signage was unclear, or the incident was a misunderstanding. Our lawyers often resolve trespassing matters through early negotiation.

Can I challenge a trespassing fine?

Yes. Paying a fine is treated as accepting the offence, but you can elect to have it decided in court. At Daoud Legal, we can challenge the allegation or seek a non-conviction outcome on your behalf.

Do I have to go to court for a trespassing charge?

Most criminal trespass matters require a court appearance. At Daoud Legal, our lawyers guide you through the process and prepare the strongest possible strategy for your hearing.

Does trespassing affect my employment or background checks?

A criminal trespass conviction can appear on a police check and may impact certain jobs, licensing applications or security clearances. At Daoud Legal, we work to avoid a conviction wherever possible to protect your future opportunities.
