Case studies
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 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 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 pleaded guilty to sending a quantity of drugs and mobile phones into a prison. Despite the serious nature of the offences, our thorough preparation meant that she avoided an immediate prison sentence despite this being the usual outcome for these types of cases.
We represented a man accused of causing GBH with intent along with 2 co-defendants. He had never been in trouble before and strongly denied the allegation. After we sent detailed written argument to the prosecution, they agreed to reduce the charge to the lowest level of assault.
At 17 years old, our client was wrongfully accused of murder following the death of a 15-year-old boy. We were able to show that the case was based on guesswork with no evidence of joint enterprise. After a five week trial, our client was the only defendant found Not Guilty.
Our client faced malicious allegations by his former partner. We learnt that this was not the first time the complainant had lied to the police. Through careful cross-examination, we proved that she had also lied to further this case and our client was found Not Guilty.
Our client was falsely accused of stealing confidential documents from her employer. As a whistle-blower for misconduct by her employer, we believe the allegations were made to silence her. The case was dropped after we made robust representations to expose the truth.
