Case studies
Our client was accused of a historical sexual assault. He strongly denied the allegation. We submitted detailed representations to the police, explaining why the evidence was weak and did not meet the required threshold for a criminal charge. The police agreed to drop the case.
Our client was charged with possession with intent to supply Class A drugs. Due to the seriousness of the offence, an immediate prison sentence was a real possibility. We prepared an extensive mitigation package which persuaded the court to suspend the prison sentence instead.
We secured an absolute discharge for a client charged with using violence to secure entry to his own home. Our mitigation highlighted his personal circumstances, health difficulties and concerns about the impact of the proceedings on his employment.
We secured the discharge of our client's sexual harm prevention order after gathering evidence of the progress he had made since it was imposed and providing expert representation at court. This allowed our client to have contact with his newborn son.
Our client was accused of assaulting a police officer. We criticised the police for their lack of video footage which would have shown that it was in fact our client who was assaulted and we obtained our own evidence to support this. The police agreed to drop the case.

Our client admitted to having a relationship with a prisoner whilst working as a prison officer at a high security prison. Despite these cases almost always resulting in immediate custody, our thorough preparation and expert mitigation at court resulted in a suspended sentence.

Our client was accused of causing neglect and suffering to a child she cared for over 30 years ago. She was devasted. We prepared a detailed statement setting out our client's defence. Three hours later, the police closed their investigation and took no further action.
MMS successfully represented a client who faced serious historic allegations of child cruelty, neglect, physical abuse. Following representation at a voluntary police interview, the investigation concluded with No Further Action being taken against our client.
