Case studies
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.
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.
We secured a community order for a client charged with the first ever for sex-based harassment offence under section 4B of the Public Order Act 1986. Represented by Alex Chowdhury, our client received a non-custodial sentence with the case receiving national media attention.
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 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 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.
