Case study summary
Our client, a 60-year-old woman, was accused of causing criminal damage to a vehicle. We advanced representations regarding her health to ensure that she received a caution and was not prosecuted in court.
Case study
Our client had been accused of hitting her sister’s vehicle with her walking stick after an argument at her address. Footage, captured from the doorbell camera, clearly showed her hitting the car and smashing one of the windows. She had been asked to participate in a voluntary interview and came to our specialist lawyers for representation.
We attended the interview and advanced a prepared statement on her behalf, highlighting her remorse and mental state at the time. After the interview, we made further representations to the police regarding her physical and mental health and questioned whether prosecution through the court system would be the best course of action. In the end, the police relented and offered our client a caution instead.

More cases we’ve defended
Our client was 63-years-old and retired. In the days following his friend's death, he deliberately damaged a stranger's car. The CPS stated that prison was a real possibility but we argued that this would not be appropriate. He received a conditional discharge.
Our client was arrested for allegedly causing minor criminal damage to his home address. After our expert lawyers negotiated with the police, they reluctantly accepted that the client was a child in need of support and he should not be charged.
We represented the COO of data company Cambridge Analytica. He was investigated for the alleged misuse of personal data obtained from Facebook in order to influence the 2016 US Presidential Elections. After pressure from our lawyers for over a year, the investigation was dropped.
