Our client was charged with a number of domestic violence-related offences involving their partner, some of which carried the possibility of imprisonment.

After carefully reviewing the evidence and preparing the matter, our office attended Court and engaged in detailed negotiations with the prosecution.

As a result of those negotiations, we were able to persuade the prosecution to withdraw all charges against our client.

The matter was ultimately dismissed in full, meaning our client avoided a criminal conviction and the significant consequences that could have followed from the original allegations.

This outcome highlights the importance of early legal advice, careful preparation and effective negotiations with the prosecution, particularly in domestic violence matters where the potential consequences can be serious.
