Two serious charges resolved, with no conviction recorded.
Pannu Lawyers achieved a significant outcome for our client today, who faced charges of common assault (DV) and damage property (DV).
With the matter listed for hearing, our team negotiated with NSW Police for our client to plead guilty to common assault on the basis that the damage property charge would be withdrawn.
Our negotiations also extended to the police facts, which were extensively negotiated and amended before being presented to the Court.
The result was the withdrawal of the damage property charge and dismissal of the common assault charge under section 10(1)(a) of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 (NSW), without a conviction being recorded.
This outcome highlights why careful scrutiny of both the charges and the alleged facts matters. The factual basis on which a client is sentenced can make a substantial difference.
At Pannu Lawyers, we approach every matter with attention to detail, determined advocacy and a commitment to achieving the best available outcome for our clients.
