Case Studies For Sydney Criminal Law Specialists

Assault: Self Defence Acquittal

Police alleged reckless grievous bodily harm and affray after a venue incident. We reviewed CCTV, mapped a clear timeline, and exposed contradictions. We argued self defence, meaning reasonable force was used to protect oneself. The court accepted the defence and the prosecution could not disprove it. All charges were dismissed.

Large Commercial MDMA Supply: Major Reduction

A client was charged over 24 kilograms of MDMA, a large commercial supply carrying a maximum of life and a Standard Non Parole Period (SNPP) of 15 years. We guided programs and documents and negotiated with the DPP. The court imposed 18 months imprisonment, a very significant reduction from the exposure suggested by the SNPP and maximum penalty.

Common Assault: CRO Without Conviction

The client was charged with common assault arising from a brief physical altercation. We prepared focused representations addressing the lack of injury, early plea, insight, and low reoffending risk. The court imposed a Conditional Release Order (CRO) without conviction, allowing the client to avoid a criminal record and move forward without ongoing consequences.

Insights On Your Criminal Law Specialist Topics In Sydney

Criminal allegations can cover common assault, AVO-linked issues, fraud, traffic offences, drug possession or supply, and serious indictable matters. Penalties vary with the charge, your history, the harm alleged, and the mitigating circumstances you can show the court. Sentencing options include fines, Conditional Release Orders (CRO), Community Correction Orders (CCO), Intensive Correction Orders (ICO), and, in serious cases, full-time imprisonment. In some matters, the court can deal with you by way of a CRO without recording a conviction if preparation, insight, and community safety justify that outcome. We explain how any result may affect your record, employment, licences, and travel.
