You should be able to avoid a conviction with the right supporting material. A good lawyer is advisable if you can afford one.

What are the fees usually for something like that? How do you think I can avoid a conviction, generally speaking?? Any general advice is appreciated, thank you.
Also without conviction but will the charge still be on the criminal record ?

I would need to speak to you first. Please call 0409863423 to discuss but conviction definitely avoidable.
