Case studies
Our client was charged with sexual assault after having an adverse reaction to magic mushrooms. We persuaded the prosecution to remove the charge by proving that he did not have any intention to commit the offence as he had suffered an unexpected adverse reaction to the drugs.
Our client assaulted a bouncer after being denied entry into a nightclub. One of our expert defence lawyers represented him at his police interview and persuaded the police to deal with the matter by way of a caution which meant that he avoided court and a criminal conviction.
Our 18-year-old client pleaded guilty to possession of an offensive weapon. After a 2-year wait, we presented exceptional mitigation at his sentence hearing which showed that he had turned his life around during that time and resulted in him receiving a non-custodial sentence.
Our client avoided custody and was sentenced to a community order for distributing indecent images. This was due to persuasive mitigation that we compiled, including references, an expert report, and letters from his therapist which showed that the offending was out of character.
Our client attended a police interview after being accused of touching a child sexually. We represented him and carefully drafted a prepared statement which confirmed that he was innocent. In the end, the police informed our client that they would be taking no further action.
MMS represented a professional lady accused of forging fraudulent prescriptions. She instructed our firm soon after her first interview. We submitted detailed representations with supporting evidence to the police. The case was eventually dropped with No Further Action.
Our client was a young man involved in supply of controlled drugs. Although the prosecution tried to suggest his involvement was more serious, following careful mitigation argued by MMS, the court accepted he was in the lowest category and sentenced him to a community order.
Our client was accused of touching the bottoms of two teenagers at a family music festival. Having attended with his wife and child, our client was shocked and denied the allegations. We gave expert advice to our client throughout and rightfully the police took no further action.
Our client was accused of rape by a woman who he was having a casual relationship with. We worked hard to sift through hundreds of messages and pictures in order to highlight the fact the two were clearly in a consensual sexual relationship.
South Wales Police drop a false rape allegation against our young client following comprehensive written submissions. Our client was falsely accused by his ex-girlfriend of failing to stop after she withdrew her consent.
