Case studies
Our client was a woman of good character who faced the risk of prison due to causing serious injury by dangerous driving. After pleading guilty at the earliest opportunity, we prepared significant mitigation which led the judge to issue a community order rather than imprisonment.

Police took No Further Action after our detailed representations in a serious rape investigation, following careful analysis of digital communications, which undermined the complainant's evidence.
Our client was accused of threatening to kill his wife in front of paramedics. By making the police and CPS aware of his wife’s serious illness, and the fact that the words were said in pure frustration at the lack of support they had received, we persuaded them to drop the case.
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.
