Suspended Sentence, No Jail — Repeat Cannabis Charges

Our retired client, already on the police radar, faced three counts of cultivating and selling cannabis, each carrying up to 10 years’ imprisonment and fines exceeding $20,000; a custodial term would have devastated his fragile health and severed family support. We convinced prosecutors to drop one count, then highlighted his remorse and decades of community work. The judge imposed a suspended sentence (a prison term that is only activated if conditions are breached), meaning he walked free the same day and avoided all time behind bars.

Our legal team is ready to listen, support, and fight for your best possible outcome. Your future is too important to leave to chance.

Spent Conviction, Clean Record — Hostel Property Damage

A backpacker who damaged hostel walls risked three years in jail, a $36,000 fine and a criminal record that would derail job and rental prospects. We arranged full restitution and emphasised his spotless past and immediate apology. The magistrate issued a modest fine and a spent conviction (a finding that disappears from public record after a set period), so the incident will not shadow his future.

Minimum Penalties Only — Police Pursuit & Drink-Driving

After a high-speed chase and crash, our client faced dangerous-driving, fail-to-stop and high-range drink-driving charges: potential jail, hefty fines and a likely multi-year licence loss. We documented her clean driving history and proactive alcohol counselling, persuading the court to limit punishment to small fines and the statutory seven-month licence disqualification, protecting her job, family transport and insurance costs.

Because when everything’s on the line, we’re the team you want in your corner.

Bail Granted — Release After Four Weeks in Custody

Refused bail on first appearance, our client had already spent a month behind bars awaiting a trial that could be more than a year away, jeopardising work and childcare. By producing proof of stable housing, employer support and strict supervision, we mounted a fresh application; the court granted bail (temporary release while charges proceed) under workable conditions, reuniting him with family and allowing him to prepare his defence properly.

Refused bail? We turn setbacks into second chances.

Charges Dismissed, Costs Awarded — E-Scooter “Motorcycle” Case

Police treated an e-scooter as an unlicensed motorcycle and charged our disqualified client, exposing him to further suspension, thousands in fines and possible imprisonment. Because the scooter had been destroyed, the State could not prove it met the legal test for a motorcycle. Recognising this gap in evidence, we sought a permanent stay of proceedings (a court order that ends the case forever); the judge agreed, all charges were thrown out and the client recovered legal costs.

Smart defence, sound strategy—outcomes that protect your future.

Assault Charge Withdrawn — Visa and Future Intact

A temporary-visa holder accused of assaulting a public officer faced up to seven years’ jail plus almost certain visa cancellation and deportation. We gathered evidence of minor injuries, immediate remorse and strong community contributions; prosecutors withdrew the charge entirely, preserving his clean record and his pathway to permanent residency and future within Australia .

We don’t just defend your case—we defend your future.

Downgraded Allegation, Spent Conviction — Care-Worker Case

Charged with indecent dealing with an incapable person (maximum 10 years), a disability-support worker risked prison and the end of her career. Thorough review showed a less serious factual basis; we negotiated a downgrade to unlawful and indecent assault, which the Magistrates Court can hear. The court imposed a suspended fine and granted a spent conviction, sparing her jail time and safeguarding professional accreditation.

When life takes a wrong turn, we help you get back on track.

Charge Discontinued Pre-Trial — Child-Sex Allegation

Facing a single count of child-sex allegation—punishable by 20 years—our client was staring down lifelong stigma, ruined employment prospects and mandatory registration. Detailed analysis exposed major evidentiary gaps, and on the eve of trial the prosecution discontinued the charge, freeing our client from the ordeal and any criminal record.

Serious allegations need serious lawyers. We’re ready when you are.
