After a physical incident outside a nightclub in Sydney, the client was charged with affray and reckless grievous bodily injury. A shattered nose, jaw, and cheekbone were among the injuries that necessitated surgery and the implantation of metal plates and screws to fix the bones. After carefully reviewing the CCTV footage and the facts presented by the NSW Police, we secured a not-guilty decision based on self-defence. Every accusation was successfully rejected. 

We appeared on behalf of a client who was charged with the Supply of Prohibited Drugs (Large Commercial Quantity) in connection with the possession of 24kg of MDMA. The utmost penalty for the offence is life imprisonment, with a standard non-parole period of 15 years. Even though the case against him was overwhelming, we reduced the sentence to 18 months imprisonment by providing guidance on which documents to procure and programmes to complete and engaging in vigorous negotiations with the DPP.

A client faced accusations of public knife possession and intimidation. The local court denied the client parole due to the severity of the circumstances. It became evident that the client exhibited signs of mental illness after receiving instructions. An additional family email indicated that he was receiving NDIS therapy for intellectual and cognitive disabilities. Following the denial of parole, the offender faced the risk of long-term incarceration. We won a motion under Section 14 to dismiss the case and divert the criminal charges to the Mental Health Act 2014. This required referral of the client to a psychologist with a comprehensive mental health care plan. To provide rehabilitation and medication for the upcoming year, the treating psychologist would coordinate with the NDIS.
