Case studies
Our client faced allegations of assault made by his wife. We provided urgent police station representation, advised on the evidence and prepared a clear statement of his defence. Police ultimately took no further action.
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.
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 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.
