Case studies
Our client was captured on CCTV assaulting his partner at the end of a night out. He had no memory of the event and his partner was not supporting a prosecution. By arguing strongly for our client's outstanding character, our expert lawyers persuaded the CPS to drop the case.
Our client was an Assistant Head Teacher who was arrested for an allegation of sexual assault made by a former pupil. We reviewed the police investigation, kept in regular contact with the officer, and took pro-active steps to ensure that the case was closed as soon as possible.
We represented a young man accused of a Sexual Assault. He had been contacted by police but had no idea why. We arranged an interview which we carefully prepared for and followed up to provide further information to the police. As a result the case was quickly dropped.
We represented a lady accused of Assault. She strongly denied the allegations and faced a trial in the Magistrates Court. After careful preparation and presentation of her defence, she was found not guilty and completely exonerated of the charge.
Our client was a student who had been accused of causing serious physical harm to his accuser outside a takeaway in Halifax. Our expert lawyers were able to prove that he acted in self-defence, and he was found not guilty after trial at Bradford Crown Court.
Our client had been accused of assaulting his ex-partner after an argument broke out regarding their son. It was clear that the complainant's account was not entirely consistent with what had actually happened and our specialist lawyer ensured that the case went no further.
Our client was acquitted of child cruelty following an accusation that he wilfully assaulted his son causing a broken leg. After listening to his evidence, hearing the expert cross-examination by his barrister and considering our expert reports, a jury found him Not Guilty.
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.
