Overview of Case:

Our client was charged following an incident on a night out drinking which involved them getting into an argument which almost turned into a fight. When police got involved, our client was verbally abusive to the police and became agitated.

Our client maintained that they wished to plead guilty to the offence and was accepting of the facts as alleged by police. They had no previous criminal history.

We provided our client a detailed list of preparations to complete prior to finalizing the matter in court. This included things like a doctor’s letter and references. Our client completed their preparations as suggested.

Outcome:

Our client was convicted and sentenced to a 3-month Good Behaviour Bond. No conviction was recorded. This was a great result given the facts of the charge.
