Client Charged with Assault and Weapon Possession

In a challenging case that had serious implications for our client, we successfully secured a favorable outcome. Our client was charged with assaulting a police officer, an offence that carries significant penalties, particularly when it results in actual bodily harm. Additionally, the client was also found in possession of a prohibited weapon, a situation that compounded the gravity of the charges.

Our client was in custody and faced the possibility of a lengthy prison sentence. Through diligent legal work and skilled negotiation, we were able to achieve an excellent result. We persuaded the court to sentence our client to a Community Correction Order for 12 months for the assault charge. This outcome allowed our client to avoid incarceration while still receiving appropriate consequences for their actions.

Moreover, we were able to secure a non-conviction for the weapon possession charge. This non-conviction outcome is particularly significant, as it means that our client’s record remains unblemished by a criminal conviction, which could have severely limited their future prospects and opportunities.

Client Charged with Affray in Kings Cross

Our client faced a serious charge of affray following a brawl in Kings Cross. Affray is a significant charge that can result in severe penalties, including imprisonment. The situation was further complicated by the high-profile nature of the incident, which attracted significant public attention and scrutiny.

Leveraging our legal expertise, we skillfully negotiated with the prosecution to have the charge of affray withdrawn. This was a crucial success, as it meant that our client was no longer at risk of being convicted for a serious criminal offence. Instead, our client was sentenced to a Conditional Release Order for two years, without a conviction.

The Conditional Release Order allowed our client to avoid a criminal record while still receiving appropriate consequences for their involvement in the brawl. This result ensured that our client could move forward in life without the lasting stigma of a criminal conviction, which could have otherwise had detrimental consequences for their future.

Client Charged with Affray – Charges Dropped

In a challenging case involving a client charged with affray, we were presented with a unique set of circumstances. CCTV footage clearly showed that our client was defending a friend who was being set upon by a group of individuals. Despite our client’s noble intentions to protect their friend, they found themselves facing serious criminal charges.

Through comprehensive legal representation and persuasive arguments, we successfully convinced the authorities to drop the charges against our client. This was a significant victory, as it not only spared our client from the legal consequences of an affray conviction but also affirmed the principle of self-defence and coming to the aid of a friend in times of trouble. Our client’s exoneration in this case was a testament to our dedication and advocacy on their behalf. It ensured that they were not burdened with a criminal record or the potential penalties associated with an affray charge, allowing them to continue their life without the stain of a wrongful accusation.
