Payment plans can be aligned with listing dates and milestones. Your free 30 minute consultation confirms scope, inclusions, realistic timelines, and next steps. We explain disbursements early, including subpoenas, expert reports, digital forensics, transcripts, interpreters, and filing fees. Where there is hardship, we may consider reduced fees or limited pro bono help, subject to capacity. You receive a written estimate and a milestones calendar.

Case Studies For Weapons Charge Defence Approach Liverpool
Our Liverpool weapons defence team uses an evidence-led, risk-managed approach. We review police search powers, seizure paperwork, and body-worn video, then test whether the item is actually a prohibited weapon, knife, or offensive implement under NSW law. We identify proof gaps on custody, knowledge, and intent, and we consider reasonable excuse issues early. Where appropriate, we negotiate for withdrawals, downgrades, or workable agreed facts. If a hearing is required, we prepare witnesses, obtain expert material where needed, and build submissions focused on proportionality, safety, and rehabilitation. from the first listing.
Possession of Knife and Intimidation: Charges Dismissed
Our client was charged with possessing a knife in a public place and intimidation, facing a real risk of custody. After reviewing the matter, we identified untreated mental health issues that directly contributed to the alleged conduct. We obtained a comprehensive psychological assessment and prepared a section 14 mental health application supported by a structured treatment plan. The court accepted that treatment, not punishment, was appropriate. Both charges were dismissed, no conviction was recorded, and the client avoided further incarceration while accessing long-overdue mental health support.
